VMware Desktop Hypervisor
Creates an abstraction layer over computer hardware, allowing multiple virtual machines to run independently on a single physical machine
&
| + | Multiple OS Support | Run multiple operating systems on a single machine without rebooting |
|---|---|---|
| + | Windows Integration on macOS | Enable seamless Windows usage within the macOS environment |
| + | Virtual Appliance Delivery | Provide a robust platform for virtual appliance delivery in non-ESX environments |
| + | Enhanced Security | Run secure and isolated desktops in robust virtual environments |
| + | vSphere Connection | Connect to vSphere to launch, control, and manage VMs and physical hosts |
| + | Compatibility Solutions | Overcome compatibility issues between different software and hardware, ensuring smooth operation |
| + | Streamlined Operations | Reduce the need for physical hardware, leading to lower costs and improved resource utilization |
| + | High Availability | Automatically restart affected VMs on another available host in case of a host failure |
| + | Isolated Environments | Provide isolated, secure environments for development, testing, and learning |
| - | Resource Consumption | Requires significant system resources (CPU, RAM, storage) from the host machine, potentially impacting host performance |
| - | Compatibility Issues | May encounter compatibility issues with certain hardware devices or software applications within the guest operating systems |
| - | Frequent Device Driver Updates | Regular updates to device drivers can slow down the virtual machine’s booting or initialization process |
| - | Corruption Risk | A corrupt script or external code can corrupt the virtual machines or stall the virtual servers |
