VMware is a leading global provider of cloud computing and virtualization technology, widely recognized for enabling multiple operating systems to run on a single physical machine. Founded in 1998, VMware has become synonymous with enterprise-level virtualization solutions. Its flagship product, VMware vSphere, allows organizations to create and manage virtualized environments, leading to more efficient use of hardware resources, reduced costs, and improved scalability.

One of VMware’s key innovations is the hypervisor, a software layer that sits between the hardware and the operating systems, allowing multiple virtual machines (VMs) to operate independently on the same physical server. This technology enables businesses to maximize their infrastructure by running various applications on different VMs without needing separate physical machines for each one.

Beyond virtualization, VMware has expanded its portfolio to include cloud services, networking, and security solutions. VMware Cloud, for instance, allows businesses to extend their on-premises environments to the cloud, providing flexibility and enhancing disaster recovery capabilities. VMware NSX offers advanced networking and security for data centers and cloud environments, giving users greater control over their IT infrastructure.

VMware’s products are widely adopted across industries, from small businesses to large enterprises, due to their robustness, reliability, and ability to support digital transformation initiatives. VMware's innovative solutions improve the flexibility, security, and efficiency of IT operations.

A significant milestone in VMware's history is its acquisition by Broadcom, which was finalized in 2023. Broadcom, a global leader in semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions, acquired VMware for approximately $61 billion, marking one of the largest tech deals in recent history. This acquisition positions VMware to further integrate with Broadcom’s software portfolio, enhancing its capabilities in cloud and hybrid cloud environments while continuing to provide robust virtualization and cloud services to its extensive customer base.

VMware operates through several flagship divisions, each focusing on critical areas of modern IT infrastructure:

• VMware Cloud Foundation Division: This division focuses on providing a unified platform for managing private and hybrid cloud environments, integrating compute, storage, networking, and cloud management services.
• Application and Network Security (ANS) Division: This division is dedicated to enhancing security across applications and networks, offering solutions like VMware NSX to secure data centers and cloud environments.
• VMware Tanzu Division: Focused on modern application development, VMware Tanzu enables organizations to build, run, and manage applications on any cloud, supporting Kubernetes and containerized environments.
• Software Defined Edge (SDE) Division: SDE converges cloud networking with security for simplicity, scalability, flexibility, and pervasive security. Combining network security functions with WAN capabilities, SDE delivers secure, optimal, and automated access to applications and workloads in the cloud.
