Virtualization is a technology that creates virtual versions of physical resources, such as servers, storage, or networks. In data centres, virtualization enables multiple virtual machines (VMs) to run on a single physical machine, improving resource utilization and reducing hardware costs. It supports workload isolation, scalability, and flexibility, making it essential for modern IT environments, including private and public cloud setups.
By enabling multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical server, it maximizes hardware utilization and reduces costs.
It is a foundational technology for creating scalable, flexible environments in both private and public cloud infrastructures.
While it offers many benefits, virtualization can introduce complexity and requires proper management to avoid resource bottlenecks.
