A crucial component in managing both physical and virtual infrastructure, System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) enables increased physical server utilization and rapid provisioning of the virtual machines. While the Workgroup Edition of VMM is optimized for smaller organizations, it is limited to managing a maximum of five virtual machine hosts. And, there is no limit to the number of virtual machines that can be run on those five hosts. VMM Workgroup Edition enables an IT department to get control of its data center infrastructure and helps it become more flexible and agile in meeting the needs of a swiftly evolving organization.
