About VMware

www.vmware.com

VMware is the world’s leading provider of virtualization solutions for x86-based servers and desktops. VMware technology works to separate the software from the underlying hardware. This allows a single computer to run multiple operating systems and applications, delivering significant improvements in efficiency, availability, flexibility and manageability.

What is Virtualization?

Today’s powerful x86 computer hardware was originally designed to run only a single operating system and a single application, but virtualization breaks that bond, making it possible to run multiple operating systems and multiple applications on the same computer at the same time, increasing the utilization and flexibility of hardware.

How Does Virtualization Work?

Virtualization lets you transform hardware into software. Use software such as VMware ESX Server to transform or “virtualize” the hardware resources of an x86-based computer to create a fully functional virtual machine that can run its own operating system and applications just like a “real” computer.
