What version of vmware

Y at - it a free version of vmware to deploy desktops as a service? I'm looking to get hands on experience in the management of virtualized desktops. I have 6 windows xp computers used for internet and e-mail that would be perfect to convert. I want to manage workstations deployed as a group and my only requirment is that users individual needs would sign using their domain credentials. I'm a bit confused. Direction would be appreciated.

If each user connects to their 'own' XP workstation, you can deploy your solution on VMware Hypervisor (ESXi free).  Free ESXi allows the use of 32 GB of memory host and you can manage with the vSphere client.  ESXi does not provide a management console so you would need a workstation to run the vSphere client.

Virtual machines would be operated in the same way that the XP workstations are now.  If you have deployed AD, the XP VMs came to add to it and users don't really see a difference between the physical access and computer virtual instances.

  • What version of VMware View is compatible with vSphere 5.1?

    Greetings,

    I checked the compatibility tables and I watched that indicated that no version of VMware View was compatible with vSphere 5.1.

    You will have to wait until VMware releases a hotfix or an update that is compatible with vSphere 5.1. Usually short gap between the release of vSphere and a compatible version of the view.

  • What version of vmware? Very new to him...

    Hi all!

    I intend to move my infrastructure of small workplaces to VMS, leaving all of the data on a file server. (it's a school) I only need 4 maybe less virtual servers with the usual roles, DNS, DHCP, domain controller, backup domain controller, web server, etc.

    What version should I go for? Can I simply use ESXi with sphere Client, it would be free? Where do I go to vSphere?

    Budget allowing that I intend to get a new box from IBM, what are the recommendations for this? I watched one came with ESXi on USB ready to go.

    If I leave also say for the ethernet ports can allocate to each virtual machine?

    Sorry for all the questions, I know its probally all posted a billion times before, but I'd like to hear from people about my particular Setup (even if it is Basic).

    So in summary; 4 virtual machines each with their own dedicated NETWORK card, what should I do and is this possible?

    Thank you guys!

    PS be Im only 22 smoothly and have more than 500 end-users to support...?  :|

  • advice on which version of vmware to use

    Hi folks, I'm relatively new to VMWare and hope you can help me with this decision. We currently have VMWare vSphere 4 installed. I need to deploy 2 new VMWare hosts and I try to work what version of VMWare to deploy. I know there is a free version of ESXi 5 available that will be very good to host virtual machines, I need to run. I also know that if and when I want to upgrade these licenses free VMWare, I can do.

    My question is in fact the real waiting even for ESXi 4 - is for free and can I upgrade the license as and when I want to? The advantage for the deployment of version 4 is that I can then add these hosts to my environment vSphere and use patterns (we do not have shared storage for vMotion or any other characteristic of type HA). Also are there advantages to using ESXi 5 as opposed to 4.

    Thoughts would be appreciated!

    Thank you

    Welcome to the community,

    You can get a free license for ESXi 4.x and 5.x. What both of them have in common is that you can run only in the current state of the hosts only. They cannot be added to an instance of vCenter server. The main difference - in addition to the improvements of the new version - is when it comes to features licensed. With ESXi 4.x is not fundamentally about memory (256 GB) limit, but there is a limit of 6 cores per physical processor. With ESXi this change and you have now no more limits on processors and carrots, but you are limited to 32 GB of RAM for each host.

    In your case, an inexpensive alternative to the free edition could be licensed vSphere Essentials including 1 instance of vCenter Server and processor licenses for up to 3 guests with 2 processors each. With this edition, the right of vRAM (sum of memory for VMs lit on all hosts) is 196 GB. In addition, with this license, you would be able to use the features of vCenter Server as for example 3rd party backup applications.

  • What is the latest version of VMware Player?

    Hello


    There seems to be some confusion about the latest version of VMware Player.

    Please see the screenshot. The title is 'VMware Player 4.0.2', but the individual downloads are "VMware Player 4.0.1".

    I downloaded the Linux version and help-> about said 4.0.1.

    So, how to get the version 4.0.2?


    TIA

    Kurt

    vmware01.png

    If you click on the link download (win version) the downloaded file is 'VMware-player - 4.0.2 - 591240.exe' and the md5sum is different from the 4.0.1 download further down the page... If Im assuming this is actually 4.0.2 and they just made a mistake on the page.

  • What version of Windows 7 Professional can I install - 32 or 64 bit?

    Hello. What version of windows 7 Professional would go. 32-bit or 64-bit? As im upgrading to professional so that I can run a Vertual XP Machine, which I think will be 32 bit compatible.  Is how important it? Or I stay with the 32-bit version?

    Original title: Hugh

    VirtualBox does not support boot from USB key USB by default. You're better off using a. ISO file or DVD.

    You can use VMWare Player as an alternative, if you use a USB key as a support for your installation:

  • Version number VMware update manager

    I want to install vmware updatemanager, but it displays: this server vcenter isn't compatile with vmware Update Manager.

    My version of vcenter server is: 5.1.0 build 123532

    My 08 R2 64-bit system

    I want to use vmware update manager update my vmware environment. So what version of MUV is necessary the download, thanks!

    Yes, you can download 5.5 and the environment 5.1 to 5.5.

    You will need to start by vCenter, then ESXi hosts.

    After you are done before the two, you can go ahead and install VUM.

    Another option is to upgrade vCenter, install VUM and then upgrade of servers using AUVS.

  • Should what form of VMware I use for my new server?

    Hi all

    I'll make the leap to Windows 2008 Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Server I did some recent tests and there really is a dramatic improvement in the response from the server web time when hosting on a Linux server.

    This server will be a guest o/s unique dedicated to OTRS and SugarCRM CE accommodation for 10-20 agents/users (more than 5 clients OTRS at any time). Not a huge demand but still enough to run a little slugish under our old current windows server.

    The new production server will be:

    Dell Poweredge R300

    Quad Core Xeon L5410 (2.33 GHZ)

    8 GB RAM

    My question is: Baring in mind this server will be for a single guest, what form of VMware should I launch? I imagined that I would use Workstation 9 running on Ubuntu desktop and the prompt to be Ubuntu Server. But a person once I suggested that I use ESX/ESXi, even if I don't use a VM on it as it is easier to backup or migrate to another. material

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    The free version is the exact same software as the paid version is - when you apply the free license it will Crown just the functionality of the ESXi host and if you decide to take a paid for the license, that you can simply apply the license and characteristics will be open.

    That said, you can still remotely manage your hosts and virtual machines, it is running, take snapshots and backup virtual machines with the free version

  • What version of vSphere/license is for me?

    We have a physical server with 2 x Intel Xeon E5-2640 (eachwith 6 x 2.50 GHz) CPU & 96 GB of RAM. We would like the server to run ESXi 5 and hosting 4 virtual machines.

    I think that 'free' ESXi V5 allows us only to affect up to 32 GB of RAM (for all virtual machines?). Therefore, looks like we need to buy 'VMware vSphere Essentials Kit' - but I think it does that of 3 guests, max 2 processors/host & 192 GB of VRAM.

    We have 4 guests - is possible to buy 2 kits of "VMware vSphere Essentials" for the same physical server? If not, what version/vSphere license do we buy?

    Thanks for your advice.

    Can you please clarify what you need? 4 VM 4 ESXi hosts (or both)?

    If it's only 4 VM on the host, then you are right, you must e.g. vSphere Essentials and must also deploy a vCenter Server/Appliance, because the right to vRAM (6 x 32GB) is pooled by vCenter Server.
