Virtual memory is a memory management technique that provides an 'idealized abstraction' of the storage resources available to a process, creating the illusion of a large, continuous memory space. It allows systems to use hardware and software to compensate for physical memory shortages, enabling efficient multitasking and isolation between processes.
