Virtual Server
A virtual server is a virtual machine used as a dedicated server. Specialised software components are required to create virtual machines, and there is a subset of these applications which are specifically tuned for performance and availability (making them ideal for creating virtual servers).
Some of the software products which can be used to create virtual servers are:
User Mode Linux
Microsoft Virtual Server
VMware GSX Server or VMware ESX Server - proprietary software products by EMC
Xen - created at the University of Cambridge
