Virtual servers are servers that run virtualized within one physical box. This means many virtual servers can run on a single physical server. This is done because most servers resources are never fully utilized. Having virtual server setup captures the full resources of the physical server and it give it huge flexibility as to add / remove resources as you go. In additional to adding more virtual servers if needs arise.
