Building a virtual environment -- VMware & Virtual Server

Are you afraid that installing beta software will paralyze your work server? Do you want to build a LAN environment and find that you only have one machine? Now, as long as your hard disk space and memory are large enough, you don't have to worry about this problem. After a friend introduced the virtual machine series software developed by Vmware, the basic skills could be: ① Two or more operating systems can be used on the same computer without partition or re-boot; ② other operating systems are completely isolated, and the operating environments of different types of operating systems and all the application software and materials installed on the operating system are protected; ③ operations can also be performed between different operating systems, including network, perimeter, file sharing, copying, and pasting functions; ④ undo functions; ⑤ You can also set and modify the operating environment of the operating system at any time, such as memory, disk space, and peripheral devices. ⑥ The biggest benefit is that you can run multiple operating systems at the same time, they can also be connected to each other. You can also use this software to implement the entire virtual LAN environment on a physical machine! The main products are vmware workstation (for workstations) and VMWare gsx server (for servers). If you are interested, you can see that vmware workstation has an animation demo.

Microsoft also released two virtual environment software: Virtual PC and virtual server. For specific functions and applications, go to their website. There is also a fairly intuitive Virtual PC 2004 demo. After reading it, you should have a certain understanding of its functions. Want to learn more? I just found an on-demand courseware for Virtual Server 205, which is explained in two hours (I spent half of my time sleeping ).
