Virtualization Software for Linux
In computing, virtualization has been described in a variety of ways. But to simplify its meaning or to make it more casual I should say; virtualization is creating a virtual (not actual) form of a stuff to make it into something that is functional and efficient. For example, you create or virtualize an operating system to make it run as guest inside the host operating system without the need for additional hardware. Some other forms of virtualization:
Server virtualization - emulation of server resources that includes individual physical servers, processors, and operating systems
Database virtualization - the separation of the database layer, which lies between the storage and application layers within the application stack
Network virtualization - creation of a virtualized network addressing space within or across network subnets
Application virtualization - hosting of several applications in an environment independent from the underlying OS
Now that you know a few things regarding virtualization, let us talk about the advantages of using it.
