Virtualization
Virtualization is a technology that allows multiple operating systems and applications to run on a single physical hardware system by abstracting the hardware resources. It creates virtual versions of computer resources, such as servers, storage devices, networks, or even entire operating systems, known as virtual machines (VMs). Virtualization optimizes resource utilization, reduces costs, simplifies IT management, and enhances scalability by allowing organizations to deploy and manage multiple environments from a centralized infrastructure.
