VMware have released VMware™ Server 2.0 today. The beta product has been available for some time. The second release of the VMware product has introduced some nice improvements to the previous version.

The features introduced in the latest version include:

• 64bit operating system support
• A new Web Access management Interface
• Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS)
• Support for Virtual Machine Interface (VMI)
• Virtual Machine Communication Interface (VMCI)

Overall, Vmware Server 2.0 is a good virtualization platform and is ideal for testing and development work. It is also capable of running low workload production servers, but this will really depend on the physical server or computer it is running on.

If you currently use VMware™ Server 1.x I recommend upgrading now. Download from here.
