Server virtualization software lets a single physical server run multiple server operating systems simultaneously. The software runs on a host operating system that is installed on the physical server, and manages and allocates the physical server’s resources (memory, CPU, disk and network cards) to guest operating systems. The guest operating systems (or virtual servers) only see the resources that have been allocated to it.
For example, a physical server with 8 GB of RAM and 400 GB of disk space can run two virtual servers with 2 GB of RAM and 100 GB of disk space each and another four virtual servers with 1 GB of RAM and 50 GB of disk space each.
