VMware, an EMC company, was founded in 1998 to bring mainframe- class virtual machine technology to industry-standard computers. VMware delivered its first product, VMware Workstation, in 1999 and entered the server market in 2001 with VMware GSX Server and VMware ESX Server. With the launch of VMware VirtualCenter in 2003, and the groundbreaking VMotion technology, the company established itself as the thought leader in the newly emerging virtual infrastructure marketplace. Virtual infrastructure introduces a new category of capabilities to the data center enabling business to reduce their IT costs through increased efficiency, flexibility and responsiveness. In 2004, the company extended the capabilities of virtual infrastructure to the enterprise desktop with the introduction of VMware ACE.
