It is available for Windows and Linux Operating systems. VMware Workstation Player is a virtualization platform that allows one to easily run multiple operating systems as virtual machines on your computer. This uses fewer resources and attempts to separate applications programs from Host OS which has conflicts. Application Virtualization allows a user to run an application on a connected server without installing it on the system.Server Virtualization is the most common type that involves partitioning a physical server into a number of small, virtual servers to serve multiple functions across the system.It facilitates easy backup, archiving, and recovery tasks by consuming less time. Storage Virtualization manages the storage from multiple sources and treats it as a single storage pool.It abstracts the hardware elements into software running on a hypervisor. Network Virtualization involves the management and monitoring of an entire computer network as a single administrative console.

It lets you run multiple desktops operating systems on the same computer. Desktop Virtualization is also known as Virtual Desktop Infrastructure(VDI).The physical device on which we create a virtual machine is called a Host Machine and the virtual machine is known as a Guest Machine. The most common form of virtualization is operating system-level virtualization which allows you to run multiple operating systems on a single device while sharing resources.

In computing, Virtualization is the technology that allows you to create virtual machines over an existing operating system, hardware, server, desktop, storage device, or network resources.

Virtualization is a process that allows you to create a simulated version (virtual) of something.
