VMware, an EMC company, was founded in 1998 to bring mainframe-class
virtual machine technology to industry-standard computers. VMware
delivered its first product, VMware Workstation, in 1999 and
entered the server market in 2001 with VMware GSX Server and
VMware ESX Server. With the launch of VMware VirtualCenter in
2003, and the groundbreaking VMotion technology, the company
established itself as the thought leader in the newly emerging
virtual infrastructure marketplace. Virtual infrastructure introduces
a new category of capabilities to the data center enabling business
to reduce their IT costs through increased efficiency, flexibility
and responsiveness. In 2004, the company extended the capabilities
of virtual infrastructure to the enterprise desktop with the
introduction of VMware ACE. VMware is based in the heart of
Silicon Valley—Palo Alto, California.
VMware software is used throughout the enterprise—from
the desktop to the data center—to minimize total cost
of ownership (TCO) of computing infrastructure by maximizing
its manageability, flexibility, and efficiency. By running services
in virtual machines spread across one or more PCs, VMware software
helps businesses save money while gaining greater flexibility
and control over their computing resources.
