VMware Workstation FAQ

What is a virtual machine?

A virtual machine is a computer in the form of software that can run operating systems and applications just like a physical machine. A virtual machine can use the physical resources of the physical machine where it is located (i.e., the host system). A virtual machine is a virtual appliance that provides the same functionality as physical hardware, with the added benefit of portability, manageability, and security. A virtual machine has an operating system and virtual resources and is managed much like a physical machine. For example, you can install an operating system in a virtual machine the same way you install an operating system in a physical machine. You must have a CD-ROM, DVD, or ISO image that contains the installation files from your operating system vendor.

VMware Workstation andVMware vSpheredifference

      VMware vSphereIt is a virtualization tool for OS-based virtual OS resources. Use it to make use of the idle resources of the os. If the resources are sufficient, you can create DNS, DHCP and other servers, so that the use of the os will be smoother.

​​ VMware vSphere is a specific virtualization solution that is not based on any OS. The hardware resources of the physical machine are virtualized into virtual resources, and then the physical machine with the esxi operating system installed through vcenter integrates the resources and then allocates them for use.
