Hardware-Based Virtual Machines
We learned that host-based virtual machine solutions require a host operating system such as Microsoft Windows or RedHat Linux. Bare-metal VMs, on the other hand, run directly on the server hardware, fully utilizing all the performance your server has to offer without passing through a guest operating system.One example of this is VMware ESX Server. The product uses a proprietary microkernel technology that runs natively on server hardware without a host operating system. This allows for significant increases in performance, scalability and availability. With all of these enhancements, don't think that VMware skimped on what we hold most important - security.(continue at source)
