Explanation

Deploying a Type 2 hypervisor on the existing bare-metal hosts lets the customer virtualize Windows, Linux, and Unix systems on-premises, maintaining full control over data privacy, and use perpetual licensing rather than ongoing cloud subscription fees. Containers wouldn’t support all those OS types, and IaaS or VDI would introduce recurring costs and off-prem dependencies.
