Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In computing environments, the term virtualization refers to what?
A
Running a simulation of an operating system instead of the actual operating system.
B
Running a actual operating system instead of the simulation of an operating system.
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Virtualization relies on software to simulate hardware functionality and create a virtual computer system. This enables IT organizations to run more than one virtual system – and multiple operating systems and applications – on a single server. The resulting benefits include economies of scale and greater efficiency.

Detailed explanation-2: -Virtualization is technology that you can use to create virtual representations of servers, storage, networks, and other physical machines. Virtual software mimics the functions of physical hardware to run multiple virtual machines simultaneously on a single physical machine.

Detailed explanation-3: -Virtualization is technology that lets you create useful IT services using resources that are traditionally bound to hardware. It allows you to use a physical machine’s full capacity by distributing its capabilities among many users or environments.

Detailed explanation-4: -Data Virtualization ≠ Data Visualization Data visualization is related to representation of data using charts, graphs, tables etc. On the other hand, a data virtualization platform acts as a middle ware and data service provider to data visualization applications.

Detailed explanation-5: -A virtual machine (VM) is an operating system (OS) or application environment that is installed on software, which imitates dedicated hardware. The end user has the same experience on a VM as they would on dedicated hardware.
