The Future of Cloud Computing: VMware Virtual Machines Leading the Way

A virtual machine (VM) is an emulation of a computer system within a physical computer. It allows multiple operating systems to run simultaneously on a single physical machine. Each virtual machine operates independently and can run its own applications. Virtual machines are commonly used for testing software, running multiple operating systems on a single computer, and for server consolidation in data centers. They provide a way to separate and isolate applications and operating systems from the underlying hardware, making it easier to manage and maintain the environment.
