I have used a number of different types of virtualisation technologies over the years in IT from local desktop virtualisation to VMWare ESX server implementations.
As a developer i used alot of local desktop virtualisation technologies to test various platforms to run particular software which we built. The main driving benefit of using this technology was that we didn't have to have different hardware for different Operating Systems. All the operating systems could be run locally on the same machine so that we could ensure that our custom software could be deployed and run successfully without any issues.
Because of this technology it not only saves huge amounts of capital, because of not having to buy all the physical server. But huge amounts of time, as virtual desktop instances could easily be created while still working on the local machine.
Some of the virtualisation desktop software i have used is virtual desktop by microsoft, parallels, and virtual box
