VMware makes the virtual infrastructure possible. It creates a uniform hardware image – implemented in software – that operating systems and applications run on. On top of this platform, VMware's family of products provides management and provisioning of virtual machines, continuous workload consolidation across physical servers and virtual machine mobility.
With a virtual infrastructure, organisations can provision new services and change the amount of resources dedicated to a software service. Hardware management is completely separated from software management, and hardware equipment can be treated as a single pool of processing, storage and networking power to be allocated and de-allocated on the fly to various software services, meeting business demands.
