Virtual Machine

A Virtual machine is a machine which don't have a hardware base and can be used like a real PC. In fact, everyone can have its own virtual machine (VM). You must just have a powerful PC to run on it your real machine and your virtual machine at the same time, because the VM needs real ressources like CPU, Ram and Disk Space. You must have also a virtualization tool like Virtual Box.

You can install multiple virtual machines to give the possibility to many people to connect on one real PC. Here is its utility. Many people can connect via the virtual machines from distance (the user must know the VM access and IP address) or for a local use to simulate another machine presence, for tests or to run a second operating system at the same time.

Virtual Machines exists also with servers. They are called virtual servers. It has exactly the same principle than the VMs but its is optimized for an internet use.
