Linux VM Server

[Mad Professor]

Hi All.

I am a Linux newbie looking for some help and advice.

I have been trying to find the required information by my self, but I don't know the right terminology and as such not getting the right information.

I need to run two isolated installs of Ubuntu 14.04.4 Server 64bit on the one system.
One install with be running Plesk 12.5, and the other install will be running other software.

I know that I could very easily build a 2nd system, but the current system has more than enough grunt to do the work of more than one system.

What is the correct terminology for what it is that I want to do?
And how do I got about doing so?

Thanks for your time.

Best Regards.

Thank you for your replies.

I had not heard of the term "hypervisor" before. and from doing a quick google search it seems that this is what I am needing.

Now to do some more reading and research.

Thanks again for your time.

Best Regards.

Thanks for all your replies, and advice.

Before I get all carried away, and jump in the deep end with both lead feet, this is what I am hoping to try to do.

I hope you can make sense of my flow diagram.

Thanks again.
