The Future of Virtual Machines: What to Expect

A virtual machine (VM) is a software-based emulation of a physical computer, running on a host machine. It allows multiple operating systems to run on a single physical machine, enabling users to run different applications and programs in isolated environments. Virtual machines provide flexibility, scalability, and cost savings by reducing the need for physical hardware and enabling efficient use of computing resources. They are commonly used for testing and development, server consolidation, and running legacy applications.
