FAQ Server Virtualisation

• What is server virtualisation and how does it work?

  Server virtualization is a sophisticated technology that enables multiple independent virtual servers to operate on a single physical server. Each virtual machine (VM) functions with its own dedicated operating system instance and resources, such as CPU, memory, and hard disks, isolated from other VMs. The utilization of virtualization technologies optimizes hardware resources, facilitates concurrent operation of diverse applications on a single physical server, and enhances the scalability and flexibility of the IT infrastructure. This technology is fundamental in modern data centers and cloud computing environments, streamlining resource management and reducing hardware costs.
