VMware Server
VMware Server
installs on any existing server hardware and partitions a
physical server into multiple virtual machines by abstracting
processor, memory, storage and networking resources, giving you greater
hardware utilization and flexibility.
VMware
Server enables users to quickly provision new server capacity by
partitioning a physical server into multiple virtual machines.
Users can provision a new server in minutes, run Windows and
Linux on the same server, increase the utlization of a physical server,
move and migrate virtual machines, and capture the state of an entire
virtual machine and roll back to that state with the click of a button
