Virtual Machines: Bridging the Gap Between Legacy Systems and Modern Technology

A virtual machine is a software-based emulation of a physical computer that operates and executes programs just like a physical computer. It runs on a physical computer and allows multiple operating systems and applications to run on the same physical hardware. Virtual machines provide flexibility, scalability, and cost-efficiency for businesses and individuals by enabling them to run multiple operating systems and applications on a single physical machine. They are commonly used for testing software, running legacy applications, and consolidating server resources.
