EMC's virtualization software subsidiary VMware has released the sixth generation of its desktop virtualization software, VMware Workstation 6, sporting a number of new bells and whistles, including Windows Vista support, as well as support for multiple display monitors and USB 2.0 devices.
VMware Workstation enables user to run
applications on a range of platforms for desktops and servers in
virtual machines. The software is widely used in organizations that run
multiple operating environments, including legacy applications, and
includes support for Windows, Linux, NetWare, Solaris x86 and FreeBSD.
With VMware Workstation 6.0, users can deploy Windows Vista as a guest
or host operating system and run one or more virtual machines across
multiple monitors. USB 2.0 support and ACE authoring capabilities
enables users to transport virtual machines on portable media such as
memory sticks and iPods.
Other new features include an integrated physical-to-virtual facility
for creating virtual machines by cloning existing physical computers
and running virtual machines in the background.
Another novel feature is a record and playback facility that enables
users to record the execution of a virtual machine, including inputs
and outputs, and play it back for debugging purposes.
“This feature-packed release of VMware Workstation demonstrates our
commitment to delivering cutting-edge products that help enable users
to maximize the benefit of virtualization on the desktop,” said Dan
Chu, vice president of emerging products and markets at VMware.
The new release puts the pressure on its main competition in the open
source space XenSource to come up with similar functionality in its
next release. XenSource 3.2 was released in April.
