OS Virtualization

 

Resource Center
In order to consolidate applications onto fewer machines, operating system (OS) virtualization products can facilitate better server utilization, while reducing management, power and hardware storage costs.

OS virtualization allows the partitioning of network hardware to run multiple operating systems at the same time. With this type of partitioning, the operating systems are prevented from interfering with each other or the various applications that require them.

Check the OS Virtualization Resource Center for up-to-the-minute information on new products, virtualization techniques, and vendor profiles, along with insightful commentary and reviews from today’s hottest technology writers.
