VMware became well known for its first type 2 hypervisor known as <a href="/wiki/VMware_Workstation" title="VMware Workstation">VMware Workstation</a>. This product has since evolved into two additional hypervisor product lines: VMware's type 1 hypervisors running directly on hardware (<a href="/wiki/VMware_ESXi" title="VMware ESXi">ESX/ESXi</a>) and their discontinued hosted type 2 hypervisors (<a href="/wiki/VMware_Server" title="VMware Server">GSX</a>). VMware software provides a completely <a href="/wiki/Platform_virtualization" class="mw-redirect" title="Platform virtualization">virtualized</a> set of hardware to the guest operating system.<a href="#cite_note-135">[135]</a> VMware software virtualizes the hardware for a video adapter, a network adapter, and hard disk adapters. The host provides pass-through drivers for guest USB, serial, and parallel devices. In this way, VMware virtual machines become highly portable between computers, because every host looks nearly identical to the guest. In practice, a system administrator can pause operations on a virtual machine guest, move or copy that guest to another physical computer, and there resume execution exactly at the point of suspension. Alternatively, for enterprise servers, a feature called vMotion allows the migration of operational guest virtual machines between similar but separate hardware hosts sharing the same storage<a href="#cite_note-136">[136]</a> (or, with vMotion Storage, separate storage can be used, too). Each of these transitions is completely transparent to any users on the virtual machine at the time it is being migrated. VMware's products predate the <a href="/wiki/X86_virtualization#Hardware_assist" title="X86 virtualization">virtualization extensions</a> to the x86 instruction set, and do not require virtualization-enabled processors. On newer processors, the hypervisor is now designed to take advantage of the extensions. However, unlike many other hypervisors, VMware still supports older processors. In such cases, it uses the CPU to run code directly whenever possible (as, for example, when running <a href="/wiki/User_space" class="mw-redirect" title="User space">user-mode</a> and <a href="/wiki/Virtual_8086_mode" title="Virtual 8086 mode">virtual 8086 mode</a> code on x86). When direct execution cannot operate, such as with kernel-level and <a href="/wiki/Real_mode" title="Real mode">real-mode</a> code, VMware products use <a href="/wiki/Binary_translation" title="Binary translation">binary translation</a> (BT) to re-write the code dynamically. The translated code gets stored in spare memory, typically at the end of the <a href="/wiki/Address_space" title="Address space">address space</a>, which <a href="/wiki/Segmentation_(memory)" class="mw-redirect" title="Segmentation (memory)">segmentation</a> mechanisms can protect and make invisible. For these reasons, VMware operates dramatically faster than emulators, running at more than 80% of the speed that the virtual guest operating system would run directly on the same hardware. In one study VMware claims a slowdown over native ranging from 0–6 percent for the VMware ESX Server.<a href="#cite_note-137">[137]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Desktop_software">Desktop software</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=VMware&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Desktop software">edit</a>]</div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/VMware_Workstation" title="VMware Workstation">VMware Workstation</a>, introduced in 1999, was the first product launched by VMware.
