10 Steps to Virtualization
Virtualization—the creation of multiple virtual machines (VMs) on a single piece of hardware, where each VM emulates an actual computer so that each VM can execute a different operating system—has gained significant momentum in recent years. Enterprises have discovered that virtualization can help reduce costs by making more efficient use of hardware and computing resources. It can often deliver advantages in the areas of performance, flexibility, and time-to-market as well.
