What is Small Business Virtualization Software?
Virtualization software enables the creation and management of virtual machines (VMs) that emulate physical computers. By abstracting the underlying hardware, it allows multiple operating systems to run on a single physical machine, improving resource utilization and flexibility. Virtualization provides an isolated environment for applications, increasing security and stability by preventing conflicts between different software systems. It also simplifies the management of IT infrastructure, as virtual machines can be easily created, cloned, and moved between different hosts. This technology is crucial for businesses looking to scale their operations, optimize resource usage, and improve disaster recovery processes. Compare and read user reviews of the best Small Business Virtualization software currently available using the table below. This list is updated regularly.

Ensure the security of your workloads, simplify regulatory compliance, and guarantee data sovereignty with IBM Cloud Secure Virtualization. A trusted cloud infrastructure must be able to answer these questions for corporate oversight, security, and compliance. A customer wants to create an environment where administration, workload execution, and data access are constrained to a particular geo-location with full audit capabilities. During deployment, identify the firmware configurations you will allow and the hypervisor configurations you have approved. Accurately identify each physical host and its physical location, creating a snapshot or fingerprint of each trusted host's launch configuration. This is stored in an allowlist. If the measurements of a host's BIOS and hypervisor match the measurements stored in the allowlist, the boot environment is attested. The host launches into a state that is considered trusted.
