VMware allows one computer to run multiple virtual instances of Operating Systems within windows or remote. Workstation allows one to switch through windows to access the GUI. Vmware ESX server is a web interfaced server for running multiple instances. This can be good for running dual redundancy on two servers with Operating Systems that idle a lot, and you have a test network built-in that you can bind to a physical test network.
