Server-based virtualization

This section deals with various server-based approaches to desktop virtualization. Some solutions are bare-metal virtualization, meaning you won't need any OS installed on your hardware. Others, like VMware Server, can only be installed on top of a host OS.

  • Parallels Server
  • Qumranet (now part of RedHat)
  • Sun xVM (more information: Sun xVM suite)
  • VMware ESX
