# Virtualization Solutions

Virtualization on IBM Cloud® provides enterprises with a scalable and secure foundation for running their virtualized workloads in a public cloud environment. By abstracting physical resources into virtualized environments, organizations can optimize their infrastructure utilization, reduce operational complexity, and accelerate application delivery.
