Using virtual servers may be a cost effective alternative
to several independent real servers. You get the administrative
independence of independent servers, but share some costs
including operation costs.
Other technologies exist offering some of the advantages talked in this document as well as other. Two technologies are available on various hardware platform: Virtual machines and partitioning, |
