Cost-Saving Strategies: How Virtual Machines Can Lower Your Online Infrastructure Expenses

A virtual machine (VM) is a software emulation of a physical computer that runs on a host computer. It allows users to run multiple operating systems on a single physical machine, providing a way to isolate and secure applications and data. VMs are commonly used for software development, testing, and running multiple applications on a single server. They can also be used for disaster recovery, cloud computing, and server consolidation. Popular VM software includes VMware, VirtualBox, and Microsoft Hyper-V.
