How is Virtualisation and Consolidation Different ?

How is Virtualisation and Consolidation Different ?

Although these both are used for simplification and optimisation and cost reducation the goal of both they have a few differences which makes them different.

Firstly Consolidation is of a physical aspect while virtualisation is of a logical aspect.

Secondly Consolidation may involves physical movement of servers while virtualisation does not focus on physical location of server.

Thirdly Consolidation does not necessarily involve the use of software while virtualisation is about running the bundled packages on a base OS.
