VMware virtualization transforms the management of your IT infrastructure. Servers become dynamic software files that can be provisioned, managed, secured and protected with greater speed and efficiency using an on-demand pool of infrastructure resources. Applications can be delivered seamlessly with the highest level of availability and service levels, without the cost and complexity of traditional IT solutions.

VMware pioneered x86 virtualization over a decade ago and leads the way with innovations that simplify how you manage your IT infrastructure and the applications that depend upon it. Virtualization management is built into the VMware virtualization platform, providing an elastic, self-healing, self-managing compute utility.
