In computing, a virtual machine (VM) is an emulation of a computer system.

Virtual machines are based on computer architectures and provide functionality of a physical computer.

Their implementations may involve specialized hardware, software, or a combination.

A cryptocurrency (or crypto currency) is digital asset designed to work as a medium of exchange that uses strong cryptography to secure financial transactions, control the creation of additional units, and verify the transfer of assets.

Cryptocurrency is a kind of digital currency, virtual currency or alternative currency.

Cryptocurrencies use decentralized control as opposed to centralized electronic money and central banking systems.

The decentralized control of each cryptocurrency works through distributed ledger technology, typically a blockchain, that serves as a public financial transaction database.

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a virtual machine sold as a service by an Internet hosting service.

A solid-state drive (SSD) is a solid-state storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies as memory to store data persistently.

It is also sometimes called solid-state disk,; in association with these devices, both the words "drive" and "disk" are historical, since an SSD has neither physical disks of any kind nor a mechanical drive to access the storage media, a set of stationary solid-state ICs.

SSD technology primarily uses electronic and logical interfaces compatible with traditional block input/output (I/O) hard disk drives (HDDs), such as SATA and SAS, permitting simple replacement of HDDs with SSDs in common applications.

The development of SSDs first as drop-in replacements for contemporary rotating-magnetic-disk HDDs is the origin of the application of the terms "drive" and "disk" to these non-mechanical devices.

Following the initial acceptance of SSDs as HDD alternatives, new I/O interfaces like M.2 and U.2 have been designed to address specific requirements of the SSD technology.

Toronto is the capital city of the province of Ontario and the largest city in Canada by population, with 2,731,571 residents in 2016.

Also in 2016, the Toronto census metropolitan area (CMA), the majority of which is within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), had a population of 5,928,040, making it Canada’s most populous CMA.

Toronto is the anchor of an urban agglomeration, known as the Golden Horseshoe, in Southern Ontario on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario.

A global city, Toronto is a centre of business, finance, arts, and culture, and is recognized as one of the most multicultural and cosmopolitan cities in the world.
