Virtual machine
A software-only instance of a computer device, commonly a server, that runs on a physical computer, known as the host, using a portion of the physical resources (such as memory, storage and processing) available on the host. This allows multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical host device.
Virtualisation
The abstraction of physical computing resources (such as memory, storage and processing) from the servers and applications that users interact with. Virtualisation can be applied to many computing technologies including servers, storage, networking and applications but in each case the virtualised technology acts like its real physical equivalent.
