Run Linux or Windows operating systems and applications without software conflicts because virtual machines are completely isolated from one another and from the physical host.

VMware Server is a enterprise-grade virtualization product for Microsoft Windows and Linux servers. It enables users to quickly provision new server capacity by partitioning a physical server into multiple virtual machines. You can use VMware Server to provision a wide variety of plug‐and‐play virtual appliances for commonly used infrastructure. VMware Server provides full and experimental support for virtual machines running 32‐bit and 64‐bit guest operating systems. 

VMware Server supports:

• Any standard x86 hardware.
• A wide variety of Linux, NetWare, Solaris, and Windows operating systems, including 64‐bit operating systems.
• Requirements for 64‐bit Guest Operating Systemsî on page 15.
• Two‐way Virtual SMP (experimental support).
• Intel Virtualization Technology (experimental support).

With VMware Server, you can:

• Provision a new server without investing in more hardware by locating multiple virtual machines on the same host.
• Run Windows and Linux operating systems and applications without software conflicts because virtual machines are completely isolated from one another and from the physical host.
• Move virtual machines from one physical host to another without having to reconfigure.
• Shorten the time for provisioning a new server by creating and deploying custom virtual machines with the VMware Server Virtual Machine Wizard.
• Move virtual machines to different physical hosts as conditions change.
