VMware is the world’s chief contributor of virtualization solutions for x86-based servers and desktops. Through a revolutionary approach to virtualization, VMware technology works to divide the software from the primary hardware. This allows a single computer to run numerous operating systems and applications, delivering significant improvements in effectiveness, accessibility, flexibility and manageability.
