Physical Computing is the smaller version of Virtual Computing ?

Question

AHAMEDSATHICK MOHAMEDALI · Accepted Answer

No — Physical Computing is not a smaller version of Virtual Computing. They are different levels or layers of computing — not “bigger” or “smaller” versions of each other. 🖥️ Physical Computing → Base Layer • It’s the foundation — the real hardware (CPU, RAM, disk, etc.). • Virtual computing runs on top of physical computing. • Without physical servers, virtualization cannot exist. Example: You have a physical server — like a Dell PowerEdge machine. You install a hypervisor (e.g., VMware or Hyper-V) on it → that enables Virtual Computing. 💻 Virtual Computing → Logical Layer • It uses software (hypervisor) to divide physical hardware into multiple virtual machines (VMs). • Each VM behaves like a separate computer. • This allows better resource utilization and flexibility.
