VMware. VMware12 is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ which supplies proprietary virtualization software for x86-compatible computers, including VMware Workstation and the freeware VMware Server and VMware Player products. VMware software runs on Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. There are several flavors of VMware, depending on the needs of the client. VMware is offering a large variety of products, including free and non-free products licensed under a commercial license. VMware is not licensing its products under an open source license. Free products: • VMware Player: VMware makes VMware Player available, free of charge, to run guest virtual machines produced by other VMware products. VMware Player itself is not able to create new virtual machines. • VMware Server: VMware Server can create, edit, and play virtual machines. It uses a client- server model, allowing remote access to virtual machines, at the cost of some graphical performance. VMware Inc. makes VMware Server freely available in the hope that users will eventually upgrade to the VMware ESX Server. Non-Free products: • VMware Workstation: VMware Workstation software consists of a virtual-machine suite for x86 and x86-64 computers. This software suite allows users to set up multiple x86 and x86-64 virtual computers and to use one or more of these virtual machines simultaneously with the hosting operating system. Each virtual machine instance can execute its own guest operating system. In simple terms, VMware Workstation allows one physical machine to run two or more operating systems simultaneously. • VMware ESX: This is the most professional solution. VMware ESX implements what is referred to as the "VMkernel", which is a bundle of hypervisor codes along with the device driver modules used to support a given set of hardware. • VMware ESX Server uses a Linux kernel that loads additional code. It is referred by VMware, as the "VMkernel". The VMware FAQ states 'ESX Server also incorporates a service console based on a Linux 2.4 kernel that is used to boot the ESX Server 11 ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/ 12 ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/ virtualization layer'. The Linux kernel runs before any other software on an ESX host, witness the console of a booting ESX machine. After the Linux kernel has loaded, there is a script that loads the VMkernel. VMware states that VMkernel is not derived from Linux. The Linux kernel continues running but under VMkernel, providing functions including the proc file s...
VMware. For FEDERICA objectives two VMware solutions have been studied: VMware Server and ESXi (ESX also but it is not free and it is similar to the ESXi solution). VMware Server is an application which is installed on top of a host Windows or Linux operating system. A thin virtualization layer partitions the physical server so it is possible to run multiple virtual machines simultaneously on a single server. Computing resources of the physical server are treated as a uniform pool of resources that can be allocated to virtual machines in a controlled manner. VMware Server isolates each virtual machine from its host and other virtual machines, leaving it unaffected if another virtual machine crashes. User’s data does not leak across virtual machines and user’s applications can only communicate over configured network connections. VMware Server encapsulates a virtual machine environment as a set of files, which are easy to back-up, move and copy. VMware ESXi Server product runs on "bare metal". In contrast to other VMware products, it does not run a top a third-party operating system, but instead includes its own kernel. Up through the current ESXi version 3.5, a Linux kernel is started first and is used to load a variety of specialized virtualization components, including VMware's 'vmkernel' component. This previously-booted Linux kernel then becomes the first running virtual machine and is called the service console. Thus, at normal run-time, the vmkernel is running on the bare computer and the Linux-based service console runs as the first virtual machine (and cannot be terminated or shutdown without shutting down the entire system). The limitation of the physical and virtual NICs in VMware depends on the scope; if it is a host or a virtual machine: • ESXi Server host

VMware. VMWare is commercial virtualization software that provides full virtualization. VMWare has many flavors such as VMWare Workstation, VMWare Server, and VMWare ESX that provide different levels of flexibility and functionality. VMWare is highly portable as it is independent of the underlying physical hardware, making it possible to create one instance of a guest OS using VMWare and copy it to many physical systems (Nieh & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2000).
