What is VMware vSphere
VMware vSphere is the industry's first cloud operating system, transforming IT infrustructures into a private cloud - a collection of internal clouds federated on-demand to external clouds - delivering IT infrustructure as a service. According to VMware, VMware vSphere is the next evolutionary step in IT computing, enabling customers to bring the power of cloud computing to their IT infrastructures. Building on the power of VMware Virtual Infrasrtucture, VMware vSphere dramatically reduces capital and operating costs, and increases control over IT infrastructures while preserving the flexibility to choose any operating system, application, and hardware.
