VMware

VMware is a company that develops virtualization solutions, which are collectively referred to by the company's name. These include VMware Workstation, VMware Workstation Player, VMware ESXi and VMware Fusion. VMware products are one of the most commonly used hypervisors due to being able to install various operating systems without much support or additional drivers.
