virtualised
Abstracted from physical
Virtualised is the British spelling of virtualized.
In computing, to virtualise is to create a software-based version of something that would otherwise require dedicated hardware—a virtual machine runs an operating system within another operating system, virtual memory extends RAM onto disk storage.
The IT department virtualised all our servers to reduce costs.
