Virtualization has its uses though, despite the hype. It is good for testing different system configurations before deployment, and is also a good way to save on physical resources for configuring multiple low-usage services that may require different OS or system config, such that it is not possible to host these services on the same OS.
Whilst there may be some security benefits to whatever isolation is provided by virtual machines, the real advantage here is the savings on physical resources.
