A powerful operating system virtualization software.
Thanks to
virtualization we can assign part of our computers
hardware's resources to each of the systems that we want to virtualize on our computer, thus creating virtual machines that are capable of launching different operating systems. To do so, there are different alternatives on the market, but one of the most powerful is, without doubt,
VMware Workstation.
VMware Workstation is an interesting solution for the
virtualization of operating systems by means of software, both in desktop computers as well as laptops, specially designed for companies, because it allow to save money since we will be able to access different operating systems from the same computer.
This software is specially useful for professionals that are dedicated to software development, making it a lot easier to
perform tests in different platforms, to prepare multiplatform software presentations, and in general, for any user that wants to try out different operating systems.
With this application it is possible to emulate as many virtual machines as necessary with the only limitation of your computers
hardware. It will allow the user to launch
Windows as well as
Linux,
NetWare and
Solaris x86. What's more, it supports USB 2.0, VNC, recording and playing in the different virtual machines, use of various screens, etc...
Note: It is necessary to ask for a serial number from the applications website to test it. The
