VMware Supported Operating Systems

vServer Center's VMware Cloud Servers utilize the industry leading VMware vSphere hypervisor. VMware vSphere Hypervisor supports more guest operating systems than any other bare-metal virtualization platform. VMware vSphere Hypervisor's superior performance with unmodified (fully virtualized) guests, made possible by VMware's exclusive binary translation technology, means that vSphere Hypervisor can run off-the-shelf operating systems with near-native performance.
