Virtualization - the software that allows multiple virtual machines to be multiplexed on a single physical machine.
Xen.org - Cite This Source - This Definition - The virtualization software layer managing hardware requests from a guest OS, simulating answers from a real hardware. Used as Hypervisor synonymous.
virtualization.info - Cite This Source - This Definition - Software that runs in a layer between a hypervisor or host operating system and one or more virtual machines that provides the virtual machine abstraction to the guest operating systems. With full virtualization, the virtual machine monitor exports a virtual machine abstraction identical to a physical machine, so that standard operating systems (e.g., Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Linux, etc.) can run just as they would on physical hardware.

Virtualization - A suite of utilities and drivers that enhances the performance and functionality of your guest operating system. Key features of VMware Tools include some or all of the following, depending on your guest operating system: an SVGA driver, a mouse driver, the VMware Tools control panel, and support for such features as shared folders, shrinking virtual disks, time synchronization with the host, VMware Tools scripts, and connecting and disconnecting devices while the virtual machine is running.

Virtualization - An interface that provides access to one or more virtual machines running on the host. You can view the virtual machines' displays to run programs within them or modify guest operating system settings. In addition, you can change the virtual machines' configurations, install a guest operating system, or choose to run a virtual machine in full screen mode.

Weather - A radar reflectivity signature seen as a V-shaped notch in the downwind part of a thunderstorm echo. The V-notch often is seen on supercells, and is thought to be a sign of diverging flow around the main storm updraft (and hence a very strong updraft). This term should not be confused with inflow notch or with enhanced V, although the latter is believed to form by a similar process.

Telecommunications - Abbreviation for voice-coder. A device that usually consists of a speech analyzer, which converts analog speech waveforms into narrowband digital signals, and a speech synthesizer, which converts the digital signals into artificial speech sounds. Note 1: For COMSEC purposes, a vocoder may be used in conjunction with a key generator and a modulator-demodulator to transmit digitally encrypted speech signals over narrowband voice communications channels. These devices are used to reduce the bandwidth requirements for transmitting digitized speech signals. Note 2: Some analog vocoders move incoming signals from one portion of the spectrum to another portion.
