Introduction to VM WARE
WHAT IS VMWARE?VMware is virtual machine softwareIt runs multiple operating systems on a single computerAn administrator can manage and optimize resources globallyIts an excellent testing and development platformIts an enterprise-class server
FLAVORS OF VMWAREVMware WorkstationGSX ServerESX Server
VMWARE WORKSTATIONCurrent version is 5.5Evaluation license key is valid for 30 daysThis is a full working versionVMware has extended this for additional evaluation time if necessaryRuns on Windows or LinuxRetails for ~$189Upgrades after a year are ~$95 a workstation
GSX SERVERAble to run multiple servers or workstations on a single boxMeant for a small size server environments and larger-scale test environmentsScales to allow a test Active Directory domain, client/server environment, etc.Can run on Windows or LinuxRetails for ~$1400 for a dual processor system
ESX SERVEREnterprise-class virtual serverThis is meant more for a live environmentESX Server is built directly into a custom Linux kernel to optimize performance, stability, and modularizationPricing: call them. A purchase for a 2 processor system with a bundled package should run ~ $3500.
WHY VMWARE WORKSTATIONSaves the average administrator and developer hundreds of hours a year by allowing rapid, modular and convenient testsYou can run Windows on Linux and Linux on WindowsYou can do presentations involving OS-based demonstrations on the same piece of hardware as the presentation using multiple VMware systemsIts cheap
WHY GSX SERVER Its less expensive than ESX ServerIt allows for multi-processor environments and rapid tests of multiple systemsYou can run a few servers or workstations on a single systemIf youre not comfortable with Linux, you can use a Windows Server as the host OS
WHY ESX SERVER Create new systems faster with reduced hardware needs allowing for tailored and scalable memory and processor utilizationDecouple application workloads from underlying physical hardware for increased flexibility- read this is to separate your server applications and services onto individual servers (DNS, DHCP, SMS, IIS, AD, FTP, Brightmail, Sendmail, whatever).Dramatically lower the cost of business continuity- if your virtual system dies, crank of a new box and run a restore in just a few minutes
