Virtualization in Industrial Automation Market is Rapidly Growing in 2019-2026

Virtualization is a technology that makes use of software to create multiple simulated environments from a single hardware system. Hypervisor is a software that disengages virtual machines (VMs) from host servers and assigns computer resources to the VMs. The conventional industrial automation systems consist of tightly coupled application software, operating systems, and hardware. However, virtualization in industrial automation has helped in decoupling the physical hardware from the operating system and facilitates the functioning of different operating systems and applications within the physical hardware. By running virtualization software in individual partitions, virtualization is actuated, making them VMs.
