VMware Server


VMware Server provides an entryway for those who want to try VMware server virtualization, but who might not want to jump in to purchasing ESX.

In this section, you'll find expert tips that explain how to install VMware Server on x64 Linux, what the pros and cons are of upgrading from VMware Server to VMware ESX, how to backup virtual machines with VMware Server and the Volume Snapshot Service and more.
