"The most popular virtualization solution software can cost well over $1,000. Citrix Xen Server has a free version and 3 paid versions with prices from $1,000 to $5,000 per server."
Windows virtualization allows server consolidation, development and testing, management for data centres, re-hosting, compatibility and availability partitions. Software is produced by Microsoft, Oracle, VMLite and VMWare among others.
Server virtualization software can be downloaded from a variety of websites including those for VMWare, TechSoup, Xensource and IBM. Visit the respective websites for further information on costs and download sizes.
Yes, there are many books addressing Virtualization. Titles can be found from well known book series, such as Virtualization for Dummies and The Shortcut Guide to Virtualization. Microsoft also publishes, Understanding Virtualization Solutions.
Virtualization means creation of virtual things like virtual storage device, server or network resources. Storage virtualization is done by pooling of different physical storage from multiple networks to form a single storage device. Server virtualization is done by masking of server resources. Network virtualization is done by combining the available resources in a network and by splitting the available bandwidth in to channels each of which are independent of other and each can be assigned to a particular server. Basically virtualization is done to utilize and manage the available resource properly. Server virtualization gives organizations the flexibility they need to respond the changing business requirement. Virtual servers reduce the physical resources. This gives organizations the ability to extend protection to additional applications and data with the same or fewer resources. While doing research on virtualization i came across a site which provides virtualization solutions. (link moved to link section)
it explains that server virtualization is the separation of server computing functions ... Server virtualization technology allows for dynamic and automatic creation, ... full virtualization and paravirtualization along with hardware acceleration logic.

Server virtualization is the ability of a server to be masked from other users in a network. Sometimes, this involves the server being divided into several smaller, more private servers. The virtual machine model, the paravirtual machine model, and virtualization at the operating system layer are the three most popular ways to virtualize a server.
You can look at Microsoft's website and they have stuff you can look into for server virtualization. It is a little pricey but it will be well worth the money.

PC World offers a wonderful tutorial regarding the setup of a virtualization server. They first recommend setting up a host server with great consideration for how much RAM and storage will be needed in order to run the multiple virtual servers. Secondary in importance to the host server, is the network interface, power supply, and virtualization software.
Server virtualization is using software to emulate a complete server environment. It allows you to run multiple fully implemented servers on one computer. There are many approaches to virtualization that depend on the operating system that you want to use. Both linux and windows based machines are capable of running virtual servers.
The Microsoft Partner Network offers web seminar series and webcasts on server virtualization and a multitude of other tasks. They are specific to Microsoft but are free to the public and can be watched easily online.
Server virtualization is not an area you just pick up on without having built the groundwork to understand the software and hardware backgrounds that are related to the solution. Try college courses.
