Server virtualization allows you to use a single set of hardware to
drive
multiple virtual servers. These virtual servers appear to the outside
world as
normal, stand alone machines, but all share the same resource pool

can be a
savior for those short on space and servers, it can come at the cost of
overall
complexity. <span style=""> </span>Here are some links to free
