"VMware Workstation 6 - The Leading Desktop Virtualization Software"
What is VMWare Workstation 6
VMware Workstation 6.0 is the gold-standard virtualization software for desktop
and laptop computers, with the richest feature set and broadest platform support
available. VMware Workstation enables users to create and host multiple virtual
machines on a single desktop, expanding the power of desktop systems for IT administrators;
software development and test engineers; technical sales, training and support staff;
and PC enthusiasts. VMware Workstation 6.0 is packed with new features including
support for Windows Vista, multiple monitors and high-speed USB 2.0 devices, as
well as the ability to create portable, secure virtual machines.
Benefits of VMWare Workstation 6
- Reduce hardware costs by running multiple physical
systems as virtual machines on a single PC.
- Increase productivity by cutting the time needed to
provision, deploy and reconfigure physical machines.
- Maximize resources by accessing applications and data
beyond a single PC operating system.
- Eliminate risk by testing patches and application software
in isolation and preserve the state of virtual machines for backup or redistribution.
How Does VMWare Workstation 6 Work?
VMware virtualization software maps physical hardware resources to the virtual machine’s
resources so that each virtual machine is equipped with its own CPU, memory, disks
and network interface cards. No rebooting or hard-drive partitioning is required
to switch between the virtual machines. Virtual machines are the full equivalent
of a standard x86 machine and are able to run most Windows, Linux and Novell desktop
and server operating systems.
