Benefits of VMware Server
Provision a new server in minutes without investing in new hardware.
Run Windows and Linux operating systems and applications on the same physical server.
Increase the utilization of a physical server.
Move virtual machines from one physical host to another without re-configuration.
With VMware Server you can:
Streamline software development and testing by allowing developers to create multiple environments with different operating systems on the same server.
Evaluate software in ready-to-run virtual machines without installation and configuration.
Re-host legacy operating systems such as Windows NT Server 4.0 and Windows 2000 Server in a virtual machine running on new hardware and operating system.
Simplify server provisioning by building a virtual machine once and deploying it multiple times.
Leverage pre-built, ready-to-run virtual appliances that include virtual hardware, operating system and application environments. Virtual appliances for Web, email, proxy and other infratructure services are available for download from the VMTN Virtual Machine Center.
