Why use virtual machines instead of original hardware?

1.	Why use virtual machines instead of original hardware?
Answer» In the absence of virtualization, it would be impossible to run multiple operating systems at once, such as Windows and Linux. Virtual machines serve mainly the PURPOSE of running multiple operating systems concurrently on a single piece of hardware. Splitting a PHYSICAL server into multiple units reduces the need to INVEST in additional units. You can also use VMs to ENABLE rapid disaster recovery and automatic backups of your DATA.
