15. Virtualization
How virtualization works?
Virtualization refers to technologies designed to provide a layer of abstraction between
computer hardware systems and the software running on them.
1. The core concept of Virtualization lies in partitioning, which divides a single physical server into
multiple logical servers.
2. Once the physical server id divided, each logical server can run an operating system and
applications independently.
3. For example: Partitioning of a hard drive is considered virtualization because one drive is
portioned in a way to create two separate hard drives.
4. Devices, application and human users are able to interact with the virtual resource as if it were
a real single logical resource.
