How are Virtual Servers Used?
The main use of virtual servers for small businesses is to allow multiple owners (either business units within a company or different companies altogether) to have their own separate, secure server that they administer. Each business function (i.e. webserver, database server, application server, etc) can have a virtual server running on the physical machine with which to power their own domain name, IP address, applications and file directories. Larger businesses may use virtual servers to consolidate multiple physical machines to a single physical machine running virtual machines.
