What is Virtualization?
Description
 Virtualization is a proven software technology that is rapidly
transforming the IT landscape and fundamentally changing
the way that people compute
 Virtualization makes it possible to run multiple operating
systems and multiple applications on the same SERVER
at the same time
Benefit
 Virtualization allows you to reduce IT costs while increasing
the efficiency, utilization and flexibility of your existing x86
computer hardware
