![]() The abstraction layer is called the hypervisor, which also manages the virtual representations of hardware, including virtual CPUs, memory, storage, network adapters and so on.Įnterprise-class hypervisors, such as VMware ESXi, which is part of VMware vSphere, are classified as Type 1 (native or bare-metal) hypervisors because the hypervisor runs directly on the underlying computing hardware - the hypervisor is effectively the server's OS - and from there can create and manage virtual machines ( VMs) and other virtualized computing resources.Įndpoint-type hypervisors, like VMware Workstation Pro, are classified as Type 2 (hosted) hypervisors because the hypervisor actually installs atop a host OS, such as Windows 10. Understanding VMware Workstation ProĪs a technology, virtualization creates a layer of abstraction between software - such as operating systems (OSes), services and applications - and the computing hardware that runs beneath. ![]() VMware Workstation Pro is a 64-bit hosted hypervisor intended to implement virtualization on Microsoft Windows and Linux endpoint computers, such as desktop systems. ![]()
