Descriere VMware Workstation Made Easy: Virtualization for Everyone - James Bernstein

*Updated for 2023 with VMware Workstation version 17 information.* Information Technology has come a long way in the past 10 years and one of the greatest advancements in this field has to be that of virtualizing computers and servers in order to save IT administrators a lot of time and their companies a lot of money when it comes to building their backend systems. And now we can even go beyond virtualizing computers and virtualize our networks as well. Because virtualization allows us to run multiple computers (virtual machines) on one piece of hardware it makes it's easy to set up multiple systems quickly and also allows a way for us to set up test systems that we can use for our labs to test out new software and operating systems. Then when we are done, we simply wipe out that test system and it was like it was never there. Since virtualization is so common within organizations, it was just a matter of time before it was implemented on a smaller scale so we could use it on our desktops. Now we have software like VMware Workstation Pro which allows us to create multiple virtual machines within one physical machine (your desktop computer) and even let them communicate with each other via their virtual networks. The goal of this book is to get you up and running with VMware Workstation and cover all the things you need to know to get you started on creating virtual machines and a virtualized environment without confusing you at the same time. It sticks with the basics yet covers a wide variety of topics to help you achieve your goals and get your VMs up and running in no time. This book has some advanced topics but is not a super high level book on VMware Workstation. The chapters in the book cover the following topics: Chapter 1 - Virtualization Overview \nChapter 2 - Installing VMware Workstation \nChapter 3 - The VMware Workstation Interface \nChapter 4 - Creating a Virtual Machine \nChapter 5 - Virtual Machine Settings \nChapter 6 - Networking \nChapter 7 - Snapshots & Cloning \nChapter 8 - Preferences & Extras About the Author James Bernstein has been working with various companies in the IT field for over 20 years, managing technologies such as SAN and NAS storage, VMware, backups, Windows Servers, Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, Networking, Microsoft Office, Exchange, and more.
