Harnessing the Power of Virtual Machines for Enhanced Performance

A virtual machine is a software-based emulation of a physical computer system. It allows multiple operating systems to run on a single physical machine, enabling users to run applications that are not natively supported by their host operating system. Virtual machines are commonly used for testing new software, running multiple operating systems on a single computer, and isolating applications for security purposes. They are also used in cloud computing environments to provide virtualized resources to users.
