Installing VMware Server
We are going to install the VMware’s product, the earliest company in the Virtualization issue.
VMware Server is one of their free products, it creates and manage virtual machine containers like its payment brother, VMware Workstation. But in this case we find the Administration interface at a web breowser. Then we get the whole possibilities create/erase/administer/use virtual machines from a simple web browser, from any site, having access to the host machine.
Instalando VMware Server
Vamos a instalar el producto de VMware, compañia pionera en esto de la virtualización.
VMware Server es uno de sus productos gratuitos, que genera y maneja contenedores de máquinas virtuales como su hermano de pago VMware Workstation. Pero en este caso la interfaz de administración esta en un navegador web. Lo cual abre posibilidades a crear/eliminar/administrar/utilizar máquinas virtuales con un simple navegador web, teniendo acceso a la máquina host.
