VMware Server Virtualization – Virtual Machine

VMware Server is a hosted virtualization platform that installs like an application on any existing server hardware & partitions a physical server into multiple virtual machines.

With free VMware Server software you can:

  • Easily evaluate software in ready-to-run virtual machines without installation and configuration
  • Accelerate server provisioning by building a virtual machine once and deploying it multiple times
  • Simplify IT testing of patches, new applications and operating systems by allowing systems administrators to test in a secure virtual machine environment & be able to roll back to a clean state by using the snapshot feature
  • Leverage pre-built, ready-to-run virtual appliances that include virtual hardware, operating system and application environments from the Virtual Appliance Marketplace
  • Re-host legacy operating systems such as Windows 2000, Windows NT Server 4.0 and Windows 2003 in a virtual machine running on new hardware and operating system

vmware serverInstall and run VMware Server as an application on top of a host Windows or Linux operating system. A thin virtualization layer partitions the physical server so you can run multiple virtual machines simultaneously on a single server.  VMware Server isolates each virtual machine from its host & other virtual machines, leaving it unaffected if another virtual machine crashes. Your data does not leak across virtual machines & your applications can only communicate over configured network connections. VMware Server encapsulates a virtual machine environment as a set of files, which are easy to back-up, copy and move .
