Windows 8:- Workstation 9 has been designed to run on Windows 8 and run Windows 8 virtual machines. Easy Install has been enhanced to recognize Windows 8. Workstation 9 has been enhanced to support the Windows 8 user interface (formerly known as Metro). Toggling between Metro and the Windows Desktop can be done by simply pressing the Windows key on the keyboard and Unity intelligently handles the Metro interface. Workstation 9 also includes multi-touch support for driving the Windows 8 Metro interface running in Workstation on a Windows 8 tablet.Graphics Improvements:- VMware has made substantial changes to Workstation 9 graphics virtualization infrastructure. The enhancements include a display-only graphics driver that can render 3D in Windows 8 without hardware acceleration, improvements to make graphics applications like AutoCAD and SolidWorks render more quickly and accurately, an improved Windows XP graphics driver and fundamental changes to improve performance and enable more advanced graphics capabilities in the future.OpenGL for Linux Guests:- VMware has developed an OpenGL graphics driver and up-streamed it to X.Org. This allows VMware's customers to use the new graphics capabilities in current Linux distributions without needing to install VMware Tools. The version of X.Org that includes the driver is being shipped in Ubuntu 12.04 among other Linux new distributions. Workstation 9 includes enhancements to the virtual graphics device to improve the overall speed and accuracy of rendering OpenGL graphics in Linux virtual machines.Restricted Virtual Machines:- This new capability allows the author of an encrypted virtual machine to require users to enter an additional password to change their virtual machine settings. This feature enables IT professionals and educational institutions to create virtual machines to be used by their employees and students that prevent these users from enabling shared folders, dragging and dropping files, attaching USB devices, and overcommitting system resources. Restricted virtual machines can be run in VMware Workstation 9, VMware Player 5, and VMware Fusion 5 on Windows, Linux or Mac PCs.WSX:- WSX is a prototype of a new VMware Workstation web interface that enables users to access their Shared virtual machines via a web browser on a tablet, smart phone or PC without installing any additional applications or browser plug-ins. This service renders an HTML5 web page that can connect to your Workstation hosts, enumerate the available Shared virtual machines and allow you to power them on and interact with the desktop. Both the Windows .msi and Linux .bundle installations are available for download along with VMware Workstation 9.0- WSX is currently not supported for production environments. The number of devices and browsers available on the market make it extremely difficult to test this feature thoroughly to ensure it works well everywhere.- This feature requires a very modern browser that supports HTML5 with WebSockets. VMware recommends using the Google Chrome 17 browser on PCs and the Apple Safari 5 browser on Mac OS hosts and iPads. Currently there are issues using this feature with Microsoft Internet Explorer 10. WSX may work with other browsers and on Android tablets running Ice Cream Sandwich with the latest version of Google Chrome installed, but more testing is required.Downloading Virtual Machines from vSphere:- Workstation 8 enabled customers to upload virtual machines to vSphere. Workstation 9 now enables downloading virtual machines from vSphere by dragging them from the remote host to the My Computer section of the Virtual Machine Library.USB 3.0:- Workstation 9 supports attaching USB 3.0 devices to Windows 8 virtual machines. The latest portable devices use USB 3 (SuperSpeed) to achieve faster transfer rates for data. USB 3.0 devices such as portable storage devices and video equipment can be connected directly to Windows 8 and Linux virtual machines that contain in-box drivers USB 3.0 controllers.Nested Virtualization:- Workstation 9 improves the implementation of virtual Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI extensions. This allows users to run ESX as a guest OS and run a 64-bit operating system nested in ESX using less system resources.- Note: If you enabled the virtualization extensions in a virtual machine running on Workstation 8, you might need to disable the extensions, upgrade the virtual machine to the latest virtual hardware version (compatible with Workstation 9), and then re-enable the extensions.Hyper-V:- Hyper-V has been added to the Workstation 9 guest operating system list. This enables customers to run Windows 8 with Hyper-V enabled, or install Hyper-V Server. This can be used for educational purposes or for building prototype Hybrid Clouds. This feature is NOT SUPPORTED and probably never will be. Microsoft does not support nesting of their hypervisor which makes it extremely difficult - if not impossible for VMware to fix issues that may occur in this configuration. For this reason, this capability has been implemented purely to see if we could do it!- CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RUN HYPER-V ON A VIRTUAL MACHINE IN PRODUCTION.Virtual Performance Counters:- VMware virtual processors now include the capability to enable virtual performance counters which will allow developers to run profiling applications, such as Intel's vTune, in a virtual machine.Remoting Improvements:- The experience when remotely connecting to a virtual machine running in Workstation 9 with a VNC client or interacting with the desktop of a virtual machine running on vSphere from within Workstation has been significantly improved.Disk Cleanup:- Virtual machines consume a large amount of space on your hard drive. Workstation 9 includes a new management option to easily recover disk space.Quick Switch II:- Previous versions of VMware Workstation included a view mode called "Quick Switch" that displayed tabs along the top of the screen to easily switch between running virtual machines. We removed this functionality in Workstation 8. The feedback we received has encouraged us to introduce a similar feature. On Windows, hosts tabs have been included in the full screen toolbar.Thumbnail Actions:- Views of your virtual machine on the task bar now include controls to change the power state.Saved Filters:- Workstation 9 automatically saves recent virtual machine library searches as filters to easily apply them the next time you run Workstation.VMware Player:- In addition to getting all of the virtual hardware improvements, the VMware Player user interface has been completely revamped. The user interface conforms with Windows standards, menus have been updated, the toolbar now matches Workstation in regular and full screen mode, we have added device icons, and we have made many more little improvements.- VMware Player is also now available for commercial use. A commercial license for VMware Player 5 is included with VMware Fusion 5 Professional to enable customers to run virtual machines on Windows or Linux PCs and on Macs using a single license key!
Vmware workstation 9 portable
To install special software on all portable devices of the company it was necessary to build an SCCM collection, which would include all laptops (an other portable mobile systems) in a corporate network. At once I could not find the system property to explicitly identify a computer as a laptop or a desktop. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle []).push();
Long Answer: What shows up as a single file on OSX just shows up as a directory with multiple files on Windows. Machines are quite portable between virtually all VMware systems, when first creating the machine and viewing the advanced options you can select what level of "compatibility" you would like to use. This basically adjusts the virtual hardware devices to only use those that are supported by your target compatibility level. For maximum compatibility I generally create VMs targeting Workstation 5 with ESX Server compatibility. This gives me a image that is 100% portable between Workstation 6, Fusion, ESX, VMWare Server and VMWare Player. If your images were created in Fusion, they'll be portable to Windows (i.e. VMWare Workstation 6.5) with no issues.
Yes, just right click on the virtual machine file (on your mac), select "Show Package Contents", then select the first file that says "Your Operating System" -s001.vmdk or the biggest file and copy it to your flash drive or whatever you are going to use to transfer it to your windows machine. That .vmdk file is compatable with vmware workstation and virtualbox (a free version by oracle, but you need hardware acceleration).
As the market increasingly shifts more toward multi-cloud and hybrid environments, data needs to become more portable. As a result, subscription-type licensing has become the expectation. Veeam has made the commitment to offer more products via a portable license model for our customers. The customer benefits of this model include:
VUL is a portable license that can be used universally. This provides users with the added element of portability, which makes the jump to cloud and hybrid environments even easier without additional cloud fees.
A workload can be a virtual machine (VM), physical server, cloud VM, enterprise application, NAS file share and more. With VUL, customers can use their licenses to protect any workload, since the licenses are portable. Customers purchase licenses, sold in minimum quantities of five to 10, and they can use these licenses to protect various workloads.
VUL can be used to license a variety of things, and that list continues to grow. Essentially, VUL can be used to protect most workload types, including VMs and cloud-based VMs, physical servers and workstations and enterprise applications. The list below shows the types of workloads that are available today: 2ff7e9595c
