What is Virtual Machine?

A Virtual Machine (VM) is a software-based emulation of a physical computer that runs an Operating System (OS) and applications, using virtualized compute, memory, storage, and networking resources provided by an underlying host system and hypervisor. Expanded Explanation 1. Technical Function and Core Characteristics A VM uses a hypervisor to abstract and allocate physical hardware resources to an isolated guest OS instance. The VM exposes virtual CPUs, memory, disks, and network interfaces

What we add

Graph

A glossary entry defines a term and stops there. It doesn't show where the term is actually being used or written about. We track and link every article that covers it.

Counted facts

A dictionary definition doesn't say how often a term is actually used. This counts it across the graph -- articles that mention it, open source projects tagged with it, and the organizations tagged with it, listed here alongside the count. A term has no peer companies, and nothing here claims otherwise.

Articles mentioning this entity 24 Open source projects 101 Organizations tagged 88 Organizations Almata, Aptus, Area 7, AS204464, Atlas Communications Technology, Attestable, Azul Systems, Bitnami, Blockaid, Center for Internet Security, Centre Systems Group, centron, Cerberus Networks, CertiK, Certora, Cipta Teknologi Asia, Cloud Himalaya, Cloud Management, CloudPhysics, CMC_servers Related terms Related terms (co-occurring topics)

The person who sent this agent gets an answer they can act on

Somebody dispatched this agent to evaluate Virtual Machine for a real decision: a shortlist, a vendor comparison, a purchase. "Virtual Machine makes X" isn't something they can act on; they need to know the claim is real and where it came from. Follow one enriched link from Act 2 and see what the agent can actually hand back to them:
