Create restricted virtual machines that can expire at a predefined date and time. When powered on, the virtual machine will query the server at specified time intervals, storing the current system time in the restricted VM's policy file as the last trusted timestamp. A Tablet in Your Virtual MachineIndustry first to provide virtual tablet sensors that enable virtual machines to take advantage of the accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, and even the ambient light sensor when running on a tablet.
VMware Workstation is a hypervisor that runs on x64 computers; it enables users to set up multiple virtual machines (VMs) and use them simultaneously along with the actual machine. Each virtual machine can execute its own operating system, such as Microsoft Windows, Linux or BSD variants. As such, VMware Workstation allows one physical machine to run multiple operating systems simultaneously. Workstation is developed and sold by VMware, Inc., a division of EMC Corporation.
VMware Workstation supports bridging existing host network adapters and share physical disk drives and USB devices with a virtual machine. In addition, it can simulate disk drives. It can mount an existing ISO image file into a virtual optical disc drive so that the virtual machine sees it as a real one. Likewise, virtual hard disk drives are made via .vmdk files.
VMware Workstation can save the state of a virtual machine in one point of time. These saved states, known as a "snapshots", can later be restored, effectively returning the virtual machine to the saved state.
VMware Workstation includes the ability to designate multiple virtual machines as a team which can then be powered on, powered off, suspended or resume as a single object, making it particularly useful for testing client-server environments.

The last few versions of VMware Workstation haven't been radically different from one another, and Workstation 10 is no exception. But it's different in ways that will appeal to certain users, such as developers who are focused on Windows 8 tablets and companies looking to exercise more control over virtual machines deployed to contract workers and other users.Many of the other changes reflect how much further desktop hardware is being pushed.
Each VM can now support up to 16 virtual CPUs and 16 cores per virtual CPU, up to 64GB of RAM, and disks of up to 8TB in size. You can now configure up to 20 virtual networks within a single instance of Workstation, and you can directly attach SSDs for pass-through use. Note that the availability of hardware-specific features to guests is constrained by the actual machine you're using. For example, you can't emulate more cores or CPUs than you actually have. |
