VMware is a leading provider of virtualization software and services. It generated $2.3 billion in revenue in 2009 and has over 7,000 employees worldwide. Virtualization allows organizations to reduce IT costs and complexity by consolidating servers, optimizing resource utilization, and simplifying management. VMware's virtualization platform provides financial savings through reduced capital and operational costs, shifts human resources from routine tasks to strategic work, and lowers energy usage in data centers. VMware View provides these same benefits for desktop virtualization, allowing centralized management of virtual desktops that delivers security, mobility and a better user experience.
