VMware Server is ideal for organizations wanting to consolidate multiple servers down to few and reduce the headaches and expense of server provisioning.VMware Server equips you with a stable, easy to use, hosted virtualization platform. This newest version offers the capabilities from before, plus an array of new features, increased performance and stability.
VMware Server is a hosted virtualization platform that installs like an application on any existing server hardware and partitions a physical server into multiple virtual machines. With this robust yet easy to use software you can:
- Accelerate server provisioning by building a virtual machine once and deploying it multiple times
- Easily evaluate software in ready-to-run virtual machines without installation and configuration
- Simplify IT testing of patches, new applications and operating systems by allowing systems administrators to test in a secure virtual machine environment and be able to roll back to a clean state by using the snapshot feature
- 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
- Leverage pre-built, ready-to-run virtual appliances that include virtual hardware, operating system and application environments from the Virtual Appliance Marketplace
Features:
- Installs like an application, with simple, wizard-driven installation and virtual machine creation process
