A virtual machine is like a server, but instead of electronics, it is software. A virtual machine runs operating systems and applications just like a physical server. However, virtual machines offer users many advantages over physical servers.

Virtual machines:

• Are hardware independent and run on any x86 physical server.
• Can access all physical host hardware resources such as CPU, memory, disk, networking and peripherals.
• Are saved as files and can be provisioned and moved quickly.
• Are completely isolated and secure.
• Can run simultaneously and safely on the same physical server.
• Are portable, so full systems including virtual hardware, operating systems and fully configured applications can be easily moved from one physical server to another, even while in operation.
• Can be built and distributed as plug-and-play virtual appliances that contain the entire stack of virtual hardware, operating system and fully configured software applications.
