AMC Squarelearning Bangalore is the best training institute for a career development. it had students from various parts of the country and even few were from West African countries.

1. Introduction to VM WAREIntroduction to VM WARE

2. WHAT IS VMWARE?
• VMware is virtual machine software
• It runs multiple operating systems on a single computer
• An administrator can manage and optimize resources
globally
• It’s an excellent testing and development platform
• It’s an enterprise-class server

3. FLAVORS OF VMWARE
• VMware Workstation
• GSX Server
• ESX Server

4. VMWARE WORKSTATION
• Current version is 5.5
• Evaluation license key is valid for 30 days
•This is a full working version
•VMware has extended this for
additional evaluation time if necessary
• Runs on Windows or Linux
• Retails for ~$189
• Upgrades after a year are ~$95 a workstation

5. GSX SERVER
• Able to run multiple servers or workstations on a
single box
• Meant for a small size server environments and
larger-scale test environments
• Scales to allow a test Active Directory domain,
client/server environment, etc.
• Can run on Windows or Linux
• Retails for ~$1400 for a dual processor system

6. ESX SERVER
• Enterprise-class virtual server
• This is meant more for a live environment
• ESX Server is built directly into a custom Linux kernel to
optimize performance, stability, and modularization
• Pricing: call them. A purchase for a 2 processor system
with a bundled package should run ~ $3500.

7. WHY VMWARE WORKSTATION
• Saves the average administrator and developer
hundreds of hours a year by allowing rapid, modular
and convenient tests
• You can run Windows on Linux and Linux on
Windows
• You can do presentations involving OS-based
demonstrations on the same piece of hardware as
the presentation using multiple VMware systems
• It’s cheap

8. WHY GSX SERVER
• It’s less expensive than ESX Server
• It allows for multi-processor environments and rapid
tests of multiple systems
• You can run a few servers or workstations on a
single system
• If you’re not comfortable with Linux, you can use a
Windows Server as the host OS

9. WHY ESX SERVER
• Create new systems faster with reduced
hardware needs allowing for tailored and
scalable memory and processor utilization
• Decouple 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
