Hi Nicolas,

I don't know much about HELL. To sum-up, VMWare is a virtualization
solution managing Virtual Machine (VM).
A VM is basically a file containing a full OS with software
pre-installed. (such as PerfSONAR)

If you want to disseminate PerfSONAR, just distribute the image (cut-and
paste or ftp etc .).
Install a VMWare server host and tell him to start the VM image.

Just change the Network configuration, perform the final stitching
And it's done.

Don't hesitate to contact me should you need additional information.
