Virtualization is the creation of a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, such as a hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or network resource. Virtualization is part of an overall trend in enterprise IT that includes autonomic computing, where the IT environment manages itself, and utility computing, where computer-processing power is a utility that clients pay for as needed. The goal of virtualization is to centralize administrative tasks while improving scalability and workloads. Hardware virtualization, or platform virtualization, is the creation of a virtual machine that acts like a real computer with an OS. Software executed on a virtual machine is separate from the underlying hardware resources.
