A hypervisor is computer hardware platform virtualizationsoftware that allows multiple different operating systems (O/S) toshare a single hardware host. The configuration is such that eachO/S thinks that it has the hosts processors memory and otherresources all to itself. The hypervisor actually controls the hostprocessors and resources distributing the resources to each O/Sdepending on need and ensures that no O/S can disrupt any otherO/S.
