The prospect of transforming data-center operations into an IT utility appeals to companies looking to synchronize their technology with the ebb and flow of business.

VMware had lacked a strong management tool to help customers manage the creation of virtual servers on the Intel platform. But the new VMware Control Center provides a graphical interface for centrally managing and controlling these virtual servers.
