Virtualization software allows a single host computer to create and run one or more virtual environments. This type of software emulates a complete computer system in order to allow a guest operating system to be run. Basically, it lets you run two or more operating systems using only one computer, so it's like having two (or more) computers in one. Just one of the computers is physically in front of you and the other is simply virtual.

Virtualization software allows you to easily back up your entire operating system, run older applications, test new types of software and more without issue. CDW offers virtualization software for applications, clients, security and servers.
