http://westcoastgrid.blogspot.com [West Coast Grid] Virtual machines (like EMC's VMWare or Virtual Iron's Virtual Iron) permit the former by allowing you to run several copies of the OS on one machine, effectively partitioning it. The best part about this from the application's perspective is that it doesn't even know it's running on a virtual server--it thinks it has the machine to itself.

And perhaps the most interesting ability of this utility is that it allows you to create VMware virtual machines from third-party system images such as Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery (formerly known as LiveState) and Microsoft Virtual Server (much to Microsoft's chagrin).
