Virtual machines (VMs) are software-based emulations of physical computers. They run on a physical server, using its resources to operate as separate, independent computers. Each VM can have its own operating system and applications, isolated from others on the same physical hardware. This technology allows for efficient resource utilization, flexibility in software configurations, and easier management. VMs are widely used in cloud computing, enabling scalable, and on-demand computing resources. They provide a cost-effective way to run multiple operating systems and applications.

Physical server co-location is a service of keeping servers in-house, but rent space in a data center. This setup provides benefits such as enhanced security, high-speed internet connectivity, and superior power and cooling systems. It's ideal for maintaining ownership of servers while leveraging the infrastructure and support of a professional data center. Co-location offers a cost-effective way to ensure reliable, efficient, and secure server operations.
