The free VMware Server is based upon VMware’s proven virtualization technology. With this robust yet easy to use software you can:

* Accelerate server provisioning by building a virtual machine once and deploying it multiple times
* Easily evaluate software in ready-to-run virtual machines without installation and configuration
* Simplify IT testing of patches, new applications and operating systems by allowing systems administrators to test in a secure virtual machine environment and be able to roll back to a clean state by using the snapshot feature
* Re-host legacy operating systems such as Windows 2000, Windows NT Server 4.0 and Windows 2003 in a virtual machine running on new hardware and operating system
* Leverage pre-built, ready-to-run virtual appliances that include virtual hardware, operating system and application environments from the Virtual Appliance Marketplace
