- ◊section{Server-level}
- VMs on a server provide the ability to run several instances of specialized operating systems, including: NAS-focused, web server focused, and computing infrastructure focused OS's.
- ◊section{Personal Device Level}
- VMs on a personal device (e.g., laptop) can facilitate compartmentalization of work and private tools and data.
- This may provide practical benefits (decreased distraction from work by apps/programs which are primarily for personal use).
