Virtualization Vs Clustering

I stumped into a question that what's is virtualization and how is different than clustering. Both are basically ways to achieve the server consolidation.
So start with what is virtualization.

Virtualization is ability to have different operating systems on a a single machine.. to put it very simplistically.. Its about how you do resource management of basic hardware box cpu, memory, network and storage.


Clustering is norm of server consolidation of enabling group of machines to behave as cluster.
