An example of hardware virtualization in computing is the use of a hypervisor. A hypervisor is a layer of software that allows multiple virtual machines (VMs) to run on a single physical host. Each VM operates independently with its own operating system, applications, and resources, sharing the underlying hardware. This technology optimizes resource utilization and provides flexibility for IT environments, allowing organizations to scale effectively, test software without risk, and manage workloads efficiently. It plays a crucial role in cloud computing and server consolidation.
