VMware is a virtualization software. VMware is one of the primary providers of Virtualization software in the industry. VMware company was founded in 1998. In 1999 company officially launched its product called VMware Workstation. Since that time, the company has launched various more products.

There are many reasons why companies would use VMware. One of the primary reason is that allows us to run operating systems without erasing existing hard drive. The additional operating system installed to run on a virtual machine, and it works as if it is installed on the physical machine. VMware provides various benefits. It helps in server consolidation that reduces operational and capital costs involved. VMware support legacy old operating systems that cannot directly run on physical hardware due to compatibility issues. No downtime while maintaining hardware using the vMotion feature. Utilise hardware resources as much you can and run multiple operating systems on the single computer.

So why VMware is the best choice for Virtualization? .VMware is a leader in providing Virtualization and cloud platform services. It allows to run, maintain, manage, connect and secure applications across devices and cloud in common operating system, so it provides various benefits at once.
