Comments by VMware Inc.
VMware welcomes the alliance between NECST and Miracle Linux and the role of VMware products in this cooperation.
In particular, VMware GSX Server, now in its third generation, will be especially prominent in the cooperation between NECST and Miracle Linux.
With the just released VMware Workstation 4, Linux users will enjoy the new user interface on the Linux version and its strong functionalities.
VMware GSX server and Workstation let users run multiple operating systems --including Microsoft Windows, Linux and Novell NetWare -- and their applications simultaneously on a single machine in fully networked, portable virtual machines.
As a result of strong local partner support, we expect more users in Japan to benefit from the advantages of VMware virtualization software.
