What is VMware? Explained

VMware, Inc. is a software company, recognized in the field of system virtualization and cloud computing. VMware’s software allows users to create multiple virtual environments, or virtual computer systems, on a single computer or server.

VMware is a virtualization and cloud computing software provider based in Palo Alto, California. Founded in 1998, VMware is a subsidiary of Dell Technologies. EMC Corporation originally acquired VMware in 2004; EMC was later acquired by Dell Technologies in 2016. VMware bases its virtualization technologies on its bare-metal hypervisor ESX/ ESXi in x86 architecture. Now you are aware of what is VMware, let’s discuss Network Kings as an official partner of VMware in the next section.
