Virtualisation
What is Virtualisation?
Virtualisation is a proven software technology that is rapidly transforming the
IT landscape and fundamentally changing the way that people compute. Today's powerful
x86 computer hardware was originally designed to run only a single operating system and
a single application, but virtualisation breaks that bond, making it possible to run
multiple operating systems and multiple applications on the same computer at the same
time, increasing the utilization and flexibility of hardware.
Virtualisation is a technology that can benefit anyone who uses a computer, from IT
professionals and Mac enthusiasts to commercial businesses and government organizations.
Join the millions of people around the world who use virtualisation to save time, money
and energy while achieving more with the computer hardware they already own.

How does Virtualisation work?
In essence, virtualisation lets you transform hardware into software. Use software such as
VMware ESX to transform or 'virtualise' the hardware resources of an x86-based computer-including
the CPU, RAM, hard disk and network controller-to create a fully functional virtual machine
that can run its own operating system and applications just like a 'real' computer. Multiple
virtual machines share hardware resources without interfering with each other so that you can
safely run several operating systems and applications at the same time on a single computer.
VMWare - Virtualisation Overview
Simply put, virtualisation is an idea whose time has come.
The term virtualisation broadly describes the separation of a
resource or request for a service from the underlying physical
delivery of that service. With virtual memory, for example,
computer software gains access to more memory than is
physically installed, via the background swapping of data to
disk storage. Similarly, virtualisation techniques can be applied
to other IT infrastructure layers - including networks, storage,
laptop or server hardware, operating systems and applications.
