Hello. &nbsp;I have a super nice 4 core, 12G HP DL380 server with VMWare 3.51 loaded on it. &nbsp;I have 3 virtual machines. &nbsp;Two were cloned and working fine, the one I'm having issues with is a new Server 2008 build. &nbsp;The box is not tasked acording to the VM tools. &nbsp;When I click on something I have to wait a full 45 seconds or more before it jumps. &nbsp;Where do I look to improve performance?

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
