Creating a More Agile IT Infrastructure with VMware Virtualization

A virtual machine (VM) is a software-based emulation of a physical computer that runs on a host machine. It allows multiple operating systems to run on a single physical machine, which can help optimize hardware usage and reduce costs. Virtual machines are commonly used for testing software, running multiple operating systems on a single machine, and creating isolated environments for security purposes. They provide flexibility, scalability, and ease of management for IT professionals.
