Virtual Machine

VMware is a company specializing in the development of software for virtualization and cloud computing. Such software allows the hardware elements of a single computer to be divided into several virtual machines (VMS), each of which has its own operating system.

Virtualization increases the efficiency of an organization’s existing computer equipment, which also allows for an increase in the number of users served. VMware virtualization technologies are based on the open source ESX/ESXi hypervisor in x86 architecture.

The VMware hypervisor is responsible for separating guest operating systems, allowing them to run independently of each other. The second type of hypervisor, used in VMware Workstation, allows you to run one operating system on top of the host.

There are two types of virtual machines:
