Introduction:

VMware develops virtualization Software. Virtualization software creates an abstraction layer over computer hardware that allows the hardware elements of a single computer — processors, memory, storage, and more — to be divided into multiple virtual computers, commonly called virtual machines (VMs). Each virtual machine runs its own operating system (OS) and behaves like an independent computer, even though it is running on a portion of the actual underlying computer hardware. A VM is a software-based representation of a physical computer. An operating system (OS) running in a VM is called a guest OS.
