Founded in 1998, today VMware is a leader in virtual infrastructure technology. VMware has four million users and over 20,000 corporate customers that depend on their solutions for server consolidation, business continuity, improved software development and testing, and desktop manageability and security needs.

VMware customers, including all of the FORTUNE 100 companies, have realized significant benefits from virtualization, including lower total cost of ownership, higher return on investment and improved service levels to their customers.

VMware is the leader in virtual infrastructure technology. VMware Infrastructure 3 is the industry’s first complete infrastructure virtualization suite to deliver comprehensive virtualization, management, resource optimization, application availability and operational automation capabilities in an integrated offering.
