The creation of a virtual (rather than physical) version of; an operating system, a storage device, an application, or network resources. Server virtualization - partitioning one physical server into several virtual servers, or machines. Hypervisor separating the operating system and application from the hardware The hypervisor assigns the amount of access that the operating systems and applications have with the processor and other hardware resources, such as memory and disk input/output.
