Virtualization Basics
Virtualization is a technology that allows you to run multiple simulated environments or virtual machines (VMs) on a single physical hardware system.
By using software called a hypervisor, virtualization separates the physical hardware into distinct, independent environments, each with its own operating system and applications. You can use virtualization to optimize your IT infrastructure, improve efficiency and security, and reduce expenses.
At Contabo, we use advanced Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) technology to provide high-performance, secure, and scalable cloud servers on which to build your ideal virtualization solution.
On our VDS and Dedicated Servers, you can install the hypervisor software of your choice to create nested virtualized environments. You can also use a hypervisor to link multiple Cloud VPS instances and create your own private VM network, or use containers to virtualize individual applications.
