110+
<a class="reference external" href="http://www.vmware.com/virtualization/what-is-virtualization.html">VMWare</a>

112+
<a class="reference external" href="http://prgmr.com/xen/">prgmr</a> (as well as a many others) to provide
113+
fractions of a full server that appear as their own instances. For example,
114+
a server with an 8-core Xeon processor and 16 gigabytes of memory can be
115+
sliced into 8 pieces with the equivalent of 1-core and 2 gigabytes of
116+
memory.</p>
117+
<p>The primary disadvantage of virtualized servers is that there is resource
118+
overhead in the virtualization process. In addition, physical constraints
119+
such as heavy I/O operations by a single virtualized instance on persistent
120+
storage can cause performance bottlenecks for other virtualized instances on
