Virtualization
Virtualization is the process of creating virtual versions of physical computing resources, such as servers, operating systems, storage devices, or network components. By abstracting hardware functionality, virtualization enables multiple independent environments—called virtual machines (VMs) or containers—to operate simultaneously on a single physical system.
This technology plays a fundamental role in modern cloud infrastructure, Web hosting, and data center efficiency. It allows system administrators and hosting providers to maximize hardware utilization, improve scalability, and enhance system resilience. At its core, virtualization decouples the software environment from the underlying hardware.
Virtualization at Pulsed Media
At Pulsed Media, virtualization is central to our hosting services. We use KVM-based full virtualization to deliver flexible and highly customizable VPS environments capable of running virtually any operating system, including custom Linux distributions and Microsoft Windows.
We also utilize LXC containers for customers who need lightweight, resource-efficient Linux environments, ideal for web services, development stacks, and containerized apps. Our hybrid infrastructure, powered by platforms like Proxmox VE, provides performance, flexibility, and ease of use for users ranging from hobbyists to developers and businesses.
By leveraging both full and OS-level virtualization, Pulsed Media ensures high-performance, secure, and cost-effective solutions for a wide variety of hosting needs.
