VMware, Inc. on Thursday said it will support dual-core processors across its entire line of virtual infrastructure software without any additional licensing costs. According to Jeffrey Engleman, VMware’s executive vice president of marketing, dual core systems represent “a sweet spot for virtualization” technology for believing that it can help users can pull more capabilities out of new or existing hardware systems.

VMware earlier this month released its GSX Server 3.2, which is the first VMware product to support dual-core servers. The company plans to deliver its data center-level products, to be called ESX Server and VirtualCenter, later this year which company officials say will complete the delivery of their systems that will support dual-core servers.
