What is Virtualisation?

VMware logo

Virtualisation is a proven software technology that is rapidly transforming the IT landscape and fundamentally changing the way that people compute.

Today’s powerful x86 computer hardware was originally designed to run only a single operating system and a single application, but virtualisation breaks that bond, making it possible to run multiple operating systems and multiple applications on the same computer at the same time, increasing the utilisation and flexibility of hardware.

Virtualisation is a technology that can benefit anyone who uses a computer, from IT professionals and Mac enthusiasts to commercial business and government organisations. Join the millions of people around the world who use virtualisation to save time, money and energy while achieving more with the computer hardware they already own.

Optimise and manage your IT infrastructure, from the desktop to the data centre, by virtualising your computing, storage and networking systems with VMware software. VMware products provide enterprise-class virtual machines that increase server and other resource utilisation, improve performance, increase security and minimise system downtime, reducing the cost and complexity of delivering enterprise services. By leveraging your existing technology, VMware enables the roll out of new applications with less risk and lower platform costs.
