Question

Gaushick Gopinath · Accepted Answer

Physical infrastructure uses standalone hardware servers owned and maintained inside your own office, while virtualization uses a hypervisor to run multiple virtual machines on a single physical server. Cloud infrastructure takes this online, letting you rent remote virtual servers and storage over the internet on a pay-as-you-go basis without buying any hardware.
