What are VMware Servers

VMware® Servers can refer to servers that run in a virtualized environment or to the physical servers that themselves enable the virtualized environment. VMware Servers that are virtual machines can serve any function that physical servers do, from serving as shared storage to providing infrastructure such as email. Physical servers that underlie virtualized VMware Servers typically run hypervisor software, with or without an associated OS, which allocates processing, memory and other resources to virtual machines.
