Desktop Linux virtualization solution sanjianke

Article Title: sanjianke, a Desktop Linux virtualization solution. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

Just a few years ago, when virtualization first appeared on a desktop computer, it was regarded as just a flash. Although no one has specified this, virtualization is obviously not valued. This situation changes only when significant advantages of cost savings (especially in terms of hardware costs) are gradually revealed.

Now we can see that Virtualization has been fully successful: from servers to inconspicuous desktop computers. Despite these successes, which virtualization or "Virtual Machine solution" is most suitable for processing desktop system tasks? Basically, there is no answer. If Desktop Linux users continue to use specific legacy Windows applications that are not compatible with WINE, this issue is very important for them.

Considering the disadvantages of WINE, it is necessary to explore which desktop virtualization solutions are most suitable for specific Desktop Linux environments. The following are my three solutions.

　　VMWare

Since the price of the Linux workstation version is as high as 189 USD, some people think the cost of this virtual machine solution is too high. However, once potential users realize that the target audience of VMWare Workstation is professional users rather than ordinary users, the high cost suddenly seems to be a safe investment. VMWare Workstation provides end users with powerful functionality that is unmatched by any other solution on the market so far.

Why choose VMWare instead of a low-cost alternative? The reasons include: it provides sophisticated code, consistently superior performance, and advanced features that companies outside of large enterprises may not be concerned about.

Main features include:

O supports 32-bit or 64-bit. This can bring a good experience, no matter which architecture you choose to run.

O Virtual machine or Virtual Team ). Unlike other secondary alternatives, VMWare provides enterprise users with the ability to simulate multi-layer Virtual Machine configurations.

O script compilation. Because of VIX Automation API, you can use commands to compile scripts.

O advanced deployment. It is applicable to users who need to deploy virtual machines in an efficient and fast environment. In other words, you can quickly and easily deploy pre-packaged virtual machines, thanks to the ACE authoring feature of VMware.

O USB 2.0 is supported. This feature is helpful if you need to print something from the guest operating system or even synchronize the device with Outlook on the desktop.

Which of the following is the most suitable?

From my experience in running Windows on a Desktop Linux computer using the latest version of VMWare Workstation, I think VMWare is the most suitable for enterprise users who have received support from existing IT departments.

Although I insist that the best target group for this product is enterprise users, non-enterprise users proficient in technology will also find that VMWare workstation is a good choice, although the cost is too high for ordinary users.
