Benefits of using virtual machines

Let's talk about functions first.

VMware provides the following functions:

1. Two or more operating systems can be used on the same PC without partitioning or re-boot.

 

2. fully isolated and protected operating environments of different operating systems and all application software and materials installed on the OS.

 

3. Different Operating Systems can interact with each other, including the network, perimeter, file sharing, and copy and paste functions.

 

4. The Undo function is available.

 

5. The operating environment that can be set and modified at any time, such as memory, disk space, and peripheral devices.

Benefits

1. If you want to install multiple operating systems on a computer without using a virtual machine, you can install multiple hard disks and one operating system for each hard disk. This method is expensive. 2. Install multiple operating systems on one hard disk. This method is not safe enough, because hard disk MBR is a must for the operating system. If it is difficult to solve this problem, several operating systems will be the same. Using Virtual Machine Software is both cost-effective and secure. It is very convenient for anyone who wants to learn Linux and UNIX.

2. virtual machines can run several operating systems on one machine at the same time, which is an essential tool for SOHO developers. With a virtual machine, you can debug C/S, B/SProgram.

3. Use virtual machines to perform software testing.
