Hypervisor

A hypervisor, also known as a virtual machine monitor (VMM), is a type of computer software, firmware or hardware that creates and runs virtual machines. A computer on which a hypervisor runs one or more virtual machines is called a host machine or virtualization server, and each virtual machine is called a guest machine.
