VMware, now operating as VMware by Broadcom, is one of the world’s most influential enterprise software companies and the pioneer of x86 server virtualization. Since its founding in 1998, VMware has transformed how organizations build, manage, and secure IT infrastructure by enabling multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical server, creating greater efficiency, agility, and scalability.
VMware’s technologies power mission-critical workloads across private clouds, hybrid clouds, data centers, edge environments, and enterprise applications worldwide. Following Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware in November 2023, the company has focused on delivering a unified private cloud platform built around VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), helping organizations modernize infrastructure, support AI initiatives, and accelerate digital transformation.
