Utility programs usually run in the background protecting security and other parts of the system. An antivirus application is a good example of a utility program.
Server virtualization is the partitioning of a single of a single server each of which can support a different operating system.
There are two possibilities, utility as in software that helps in working with a system or utility computing. Utility computing is a way of making computing power available to users as though it is electrical power. Think of SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) as an example of such utility computing. Using the former definition, one could use utility system software for an easy interface to a computer. In the later definition, there are numerous emerging examples in 'cloud' computing, SETI is just one example.
Partitioning allows you to create a logical separation between different operating systems and data. For example, you could have a windows operating system on one partition, a Linux operating system on another partition, and your personal data (My Documents in windows and /home in Linux) on a third. This allows you to wipe one of your partitions clean and reformat without having to backup the data on the others (say for example, your windows install gets a virus).

utility may refer to programs that come with the programmer like application packages,system utilities like the operating systems.also the programming languages among others.
A component is a piece of the system, and is vital to the operation of the system or another component thereof. For example, a driver is a component that allows the system software to interface with hardware, and is the only way that a user application can interact with that hardware. A system utility is not vital to the system's operation, but can help diagnose problems and keep the system running smoothly.
separate data files and operating system allow the computer to be dual booted
System Software is basically an Operating system (or software). Operating System helps users to operate and access the applications loaded on the machine. Further, Operating system provides a platform for applications (i.e. utility software) on the machine.The OS cannot hold all utilities altogether. For example, Windows XP is an OS and Calculator integrated into it is a utility software.
It is a system tool.
An example of utility software include system profiler, network managers, disk defragmenters and so much more. Such software is mainly designed to configure, analyze, maintain and optimize a computer.
System utilities are The system software that manage a computer
