VMWare Solutions
VMware software is used by enterprises large and small to increase the
efficiency and cost-effectiveness of their IT operations.
Virtualization essentially lets one computer do the job of multiple computers, by
sharing the resources of a single computer across multiple environments. Virtual
servers and virtual desktops let you host multiple operating systems and
multiple applications locally and in remote locations, freeing you from physical
and geographical limitations. In addition to energy savings and lower capital
expenses due to more efficient use of your hardware resources, you get high
availability of resources, better desktop management, increased security, and
improved disaster recovery processes when you build a virtual infrastructure
VMware ESX
In essence, virtualization lets you transform hardware into software. Use
software such as VMware ESX to transform or “virtualize” the hardware resources
of an x86-based computer—including the CPU, RAM, hard disk and network
controller—to create a fully functional virtual machine that can run its own
operating system and applications just like a “real” computer.
Multiple virtual machines
Multiple virtual machines share hardware resources without interfering with each
other so that you can safely run several operating systems and applications at
the same time on a single computer.
