Using VMWare Converter

This procedure explains how to virtualize a physical server or PC on a virtual machine so that you can work with VMWare images. I usually use it when I have to work on a physical server for a long time and not have to stop end users, or in case a server goes down, have an exact replica and be able to pick it up when you need it. It details how to install the VMWare Converter and how to make an exact copy of a computer (it could also be made from a LAN team) and the best thing is that it can be done hot, Without having to stop anyone. Then, the virtual machine will be turned on with VMWare Workstation (AKI Your Procedure).

Installing and Using VMware Workstation

Es la maquina virtual que prefiero, más que nada por que es la primera que conocí, pero no tiene la ventaja que tiene la de Microsoft (Virtual Server) que se puede instalar en un servidor dedicado a ello y que los PC’s se conecten a él para cargar sistemas operativos en maquinas virtuales remotas, consumiendo recursos (RAM y procesador) al servidor y no al PC donde se ejecuta. Of course, la desventaja es que cuando estamos fuera de la oficina no podríamos conectarnos… o si necesitamos una maquina virtual para nosotros es más incomodo hacerlo en un servidor remoto y es mejor en local… son dos herramientas iguales pero diferente forma de uso.

Installation, Setting up and using Virtuozzo

What is Virtuozzo? How does Virtuozzo work?? Virtuozzo creates isolated virtual environments (virtual enviroments or VEs or virtual private servers, or VPSs) on a single physical server. This allows hardware sharing, Systems Administration Effort, and sometimes software licenses between different workloads.

Using Microsoft Virtual PC

This free Microsoft product is similar to certain VMware products such as Workstation or Player, is software for creating virtual machines on physical equipment. Logically Using Physical Host Resources, Virtualizes hardware so that it can be used by physical hosts, and we can also customize this hardware.

Using Microsoft Virtual Server

Microsoft's Virtual Server is a tool for emulating an operating system, unlike their enemies (including the VMWare Workstation) You don't have a console, rather, an administration is made via the web, normally to the port 80 (if not in use) and if not to 1024. The advantage of this software is that it is installed, for example, on a server dedicated to it and we have the virtual machines available from any PC; we would connect from our PCs via the web and load the virtual machines, the resources are eaten by the server but it shows us the virtual machine on the screen as if it were local., we could have a Linux, a Windows running on our PC/laptop and the image file would be on the server eating up the memory/processor…
