As the name suggests, VMware stands for Virtual Machine Ware. It is a company that develops software for creating a virtual machine. A virtual machine divides the hardware of your computer like processor, storage. etc. In an abstract way to create multiple independent computers.
Each virtual machine has its own operating system like Windows, Linux running individually. Every machine gets a configuration file which has all of the settings of the VM and a virtual drive which acts as a hard drive for the system and contains the OS for the VM.
Virtual machine has a lot of advantages for companies and commercial users. They can get the full potential from the hardware that they have invested in. On VMs, companies can run each application on its own OS to avoid the risk of data loss due to app crashes. Also, creating more servers on a single physical server allows the company to save space at their offices and at the same time save energy.
