Vmware is a concept of "virtual computing". Basically, this just means that
you have one physical host, and then multiple guests running within the
host. The whole idea is that you reduce the number of physical hardware
machines into multiple virtual machines.
It would be easy for you to download the Workstation version and try it out.
Now, the workstation version doesn't even come close to the performance you
can get with ESX, nor the features. But, it will give you a great idea what
VM is all about.

Subject: [THIN] VMWare ESX
Hey,
Can somebody give me a high level overview of what VMWare is all about? We
have been looking at moving towards a Blade server platform for our 10
Citrix servers specifically, and I am trying to see if VMWare is something
we should look into or not. Is it extremely expensive? What exactly does
it allow us as administrators to do? Is it to be used in conjunction with
Blade servers or as an alternative? The brochures and white papers on their
website are confusing the hell out of me!
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys,
/jL
