My Lab 1

My lab 1 is about the introduction to Virtualization and VMware.VMware Workstation can be downloaded from http://www.vmware.com/download/ws/. Virtualization is a proven software technology that is rapidly transforming the IT landscape and fundamentally changing the way that people compute. Virtualization lets users run multiple virtual machines on a single physical machine, sharing the resources of that single computer across multiple environments. Different virtual machines can run different operating systems and multiple applications on the same physical computer. I knew the steps to install the VMware through this lab. VMware Workstation makes it possible for PC user to use Multiple Operating Systems Concurrently on the Same PC. User can create and run multiple virtual machine on desktop or laptop computer. VMware Workstation let you create a virtual machine that can be installed with different kinds of Operating System. Each virtual machine visualized a complete set of PC, including Memory, HDD, network connections, peripheral ports and processor. In this Lab 1, my course mate and I were installing Window Server 2003 on virtual machine. We were followed the steps in Lab 1 slides and Window Server 2003 was installed successfully. After the installation process was finished, I saw the windows server 2003 login page. To get the mouse pointer back to host desktop, I was type CTRL + ALT on the keyboard. After finished the installation, we had to do our review questions.
