Smooth, Stable Server Virtualization

摘要

The first release of VMware Workstation in 1999 marked the birth of simple system virtualization on the x86 architecture. In the years since, VMware has matured, adding significantly to its product line with GSX Server, a virtualization platform that relies on a host OS. Virtualization software simplifies computing infrastructure by partitioning and isolating servers into virtual machines, each of which can run its own OS and applications. Virtual machines running under VMWare's Workstation product can be accessed by any other system via the network, but access to the server console is limited to the workstation running the application.
