In computing, virtualization (or virtualisation in Commonwealth English; see spelling differences,) abbreviated as v12n, is a series of technologies that allows dividing of physical computing resources into a series of virtual machines, operating systems, processes or containers. Virtualization began in the 1960s with IBM CP/CMS. The control program CP provided each user with a simulated stand-alone System/360 computer.
