 VMware products include virtualization, networking and security management tools, software-defined data center software, and storage software.

Data center and cloud infrastructure

VMware vSphere is VMware's suite of virtualization products. VMware vSphere, known as VMware Infrastructure before 2009, includes ESXi, vCenter Server, vSphere Client, vMotion, and more. As of April 2017, the latest version is vSphere 6.5, which is available in three editions: Standard, Enterprise, and Enterprise Plus.

Networks and security

VMware NSX is a virtual security and networking software offering created when VMware acquired Nicera in 2012. NSX enables an administrator to virtualize network components, enabling them to develop, deploy, and configure virtual networks and switches using software rather than hardware. A software layer sits on top of the hypervisor to allow an administrator to divide a physical network into multiple virtual networks.

VMware vRealize Network Insight is a network operations management tool that enables an administrator to plan for micro-segmentation and verify the health of VMware NSX. VRealize Network Insight builds on technology from Arkin's acquisition of VMware in 2016. VRealize Network Insight collects information from the NSX Manager; it also displays errors in its user interface, which helps to troubleshoot in an NSX environment.

SDDC platform

VMware Cloud Foundation is an integrated software stack that groups vSphere, VMware Virtual SAN (vSAN), and VMware NSX on a single platform through the SDDC manager. An administrator can deploy the package locally as a private cloud or run it as a service within a public cloud. An administrator can provision an application immediately without having to wait for network or storage.

Storage and availability

VMware vSAN is a software-based storage feature that is built into the ESXi hypervisor and integrated with vSphere; Pools the disk space of multiple ESXi hosts and provides it through smart policies such as protection limits, thin provisioning, and code erasure.

VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) is a disaster recovery management product that enables an administrator to create recovery plans that run automatically in the event of failure. Site Recovery Manager enables administrators to automatically orchestrate the failover and failback of virtual machines. SRM also integrates with NSX to preserve network and security policies on migrated virtual machines.

VMware vCloud NFV is a network functions virtualization platform that enables a service provider to run network functions as virtualized applications from different vendors. NFV provides the same benefits of virtualization and the cloud to a communications service provider that previously relied on hardware vcap jobs.

Cloud management platform

The vRealize suite is a suite of software that enables a user to create and manage hybrid clouds. VRealize Suite includes vRealize Operations, vRealize Log Insight, vRealize Automation, and vRealize Business for Cloud. With this package, an administrator can deploy and manage virtual machines on multiple hypervisors or cloud platforms from a single management console.

Digital workspace

Workspace ONE enables an administrator to control mobile devices and cloud-hosted virtual desktops and applications from a single management platform deployed in the cloud or on-premises. The Workspace ONE suite includes VMware AirWatch, Horizon Air, and Identity Manager.

Identity Manager uses technology from VMware's 2010 acquisition of TriCipher. It is an identity as a service product that offers single sign-on (SSO) capabilities for web, cloud, and mobile applications. Identity Manager provides SSO access to any application from any device, depending on the policies created.

Management of business mobility

VMware AirWatch is an enterprise mobility management (EMM) software platform that enables an administrator to deploy and manage mobile devices, applications, and data. The goal of EMM software is to protect corporate applications and data that can be accessed from any device on any network.

Personal desk

VMware Fusion is software that virtualizes a Windows operating system on Mac computers. The software allows a user to switch to the Mac operating system and share data between the two operating systems without rebooting. It also gives a user access to Windows applications on the Mac toolbar through Unity mode. Fusion allows an administrator to run Linux as well as other operating systems on a Mac.
