Virtualization is a technique, which allows sharing a single physical instance of an application or resource among multiple organizations or tenants (customers).
Virtualization is a proven technology that makes it possible to run multiple operating systems and applications on the same server at the same time.
Virtualization is the process of creating a logical(virtual) version of a server operating system, a storage device, or network services.
The technology that works behind virtualization is known as a virtual machine monitor(VM), or virtual manager which separates compute environments from the actual physical infrastructure.
Virtualization -- the abstraction of computer resources.
Virtualization hides the physical characteristics of computing resources from their users, applications, or end-users.
This includes making a single physical resource (such as a server, an operating system, an application, or a storage device) appear to function as multiple virtual resources.
It can also include making multiple physical resources (such as storage devices or servers) appear as a single virtual resource.
In computing, virtualization refers to the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, like computer hardware platforms, operating systems, storage devices, and computer network resources
Creation of a virtual machine over the existing operating system and hardware.
Host machine: The machine on which the virtual machine is created.
Guest machine: virtual machines are referred to as a guest machines.
Hypervisor: Hypervisor is a firmware or low-level program that acts as a Virtual Machine Manager.
