Avoiding Common Pitfalls When Implementing Virtual Machines in Your Organization

A virtual machine is a software-based emulation of a physical computer system that allows multiple operating systems to run on a single physical machine. It creates a virtual environment that simulates the hardware of a physical computer, allowing users to run different applications and operating systems without affecting each other. Virtual machines are commonly used for testing software, running multiple operating systems on a single computer, and for server consolidation in data centers. They offer flexibility, scalability, and cost savings compared to traditional physical servers.
