VMware 5.0

Review: VMware 5.0
VMware 5.0 mainly introduces collaboration features that make it easier to share common configurations with co-workers. GNU/Linux support has also been enhanced, and there is preliminary support for Solaris x86 and more recent builds of Microsoft Windows "Longhorn" beta.

خوب پشتيباني از سولاريس قدم بزرگي هست، البته به شرطي كه با سخت افزار ها مشكلي پيدا نكنه. Cloning هم مي تونه در موقعيت هايي كه امكان استفاده از چندين كامپيوتر رو نداريد تمرين خوبي براي كلاستر بازي باشه.

VMware Workstation is supposed to be for software developers and testers and support personnel. It’s also useful as a tool for system administrators. Instead of having discrete test servers, you can have an exact copy of your production servers in VMware and experiment all you want without harming the production environment. If you’re running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 as a file server, you could install VMware on it, install RHEL 3 as a virtual machine, then go crazy with experimental changes and see how the virtual test server reacts. If you create a snapshot of the virtual server as it is in production, you can "roll back" your changes to the original state — no matter how much damage they might have done — in a matter of minutes.
