VMware Server is one of those software that’s pretty useful. It utilizes server virtualization technology that can make multiple instances of servers running different OS on a single box. In other words, VMware Server enables companies to partition a physical server into multiple virtual machines, and now can run Redhat Linux Enterprise and Windows Server 2003 concurrently if you want to !
