VMware Workstation - known program for virtualization. VMware Workstation is a powerful solution for software developers and system administrators who are creating and testing a full-class integrated network applications servers, operating in different environments.
System requirements:
PC Hardware
пїЅ Standard x86-compatible or x86-64-compatible personal computer
пїЅ 1.3GHz or faster CPU minimum
пїЅ Multiprocessor systems are supported.
пїЅ Support for 64-bit guest operating systems is available with Intel VT or AMD-V CPUs.
Memory
пїЅ You need enough memory to run the host operating system, plus the memory required for each guest operating system and for applications on the host and guest. The minimum memory requirement is 1GB, VMware recommends to have 2GB and above. For more information on memory requirements, see your guest operating system and application documentation.
пїЅ As of version 7.0 of Workstation, the total amount of memory you can assign to all virtual machines running on a single host is limited only by the amount of RAM on the host. The maximum amount of memory for each virtual machine is 32GB.
Display
16-bit or 32-bit display adapter is recommended.
Note Use the latest graphics driver recommended for your host.
Recommendations for Windows 7 Aero Graphics Support
To support Windows 7 Aero graphics, VMware recommends the following configuration:
CPU
пїЅ Intel Dual Core, 2.2GHz and above
пїЅ AMD Athlon 4200 + and above
Host GCPU
пїЅ nVidia GeForce 8800GT and above
пїЅ ATI Radeon HD 2600 and above
Memory-at least 3GB of host system memory, 1GB of memory allocated to the guest operating system, and 256MB graphics memory.
Disk Drives
Guest operating systems can reside on physical disk partitions or in virtual disk files.
Hard Disks
пїЅ IDE and SCSI hard drives are supported.
пїЅ VMware recommends at least 1GB free disk space for each guest operating system and the application software used with it. If you use a default setup, the actual disk space needs are approximately the same as those for installing and running the guest operating system and applications on a physical computer.
пїЅ 200MB (Linux) or 1.5GB (Windows) free disk space is required for basic installation. Delete the installer afterwards to reclaim disk space.
Optical CD-ROM/DVD-ROM Drives
пїЅ IDE and SCSI optical drives are supported.
пїЅ CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives are supported.
пїЅ ISO disk image files are supported.
Floppy Drives
пїЅ Virtual machines can connect to the host's disk drives. Floppy disk image files are also supported.
Local Area Networking
пїЅ You can use any Ethernet controller that the host operating system supports.
пїЅ Non-Ethernet networks are supported by using built-in network address translation (NAT) or using a combination of host-only networking plus routing software on the host operating system.
