VMWare Workstation 6.0 (Build: 45731) Final
VMWare allows you to run virtual machines inside Linux. more>>
VMware Workstation software allows the users to run multiple x86-based operating systems, including Linux, Windows, and NetWare, and their applications simultaneously on a single PC in fully networked, portable virtual machines no hard drive partitioning or rebooting required.
Shipping for more than six years and winner of more than a dozen major product awards, VMware Workstation improves productivity and flexibility, and reduces costs so dramatically that it has become an indispensable tool for software development and IT professionals worldwide.
Main features:
- Streamline software development and testing operations. Create multiple development and testing environments as virtual machines on a single PC and use them to test "real world" multi-tier configurations, complex networks, and multiple operating systems and applications all on a single machine.
- Improve team collaboration. The portability and hardware-independent properties of virtual machines, coupled with new features in VMware Workstation, lets users easily share development environments and pre-packaged testing configurations without risk, and also facilitates collaboration between development and QA.
- Enhance the productivity of IT professionals. Allows system administrators and other enterprise IT professionals to test software, including new applications, application updates, and operating system patches, in virtual machines prior to deployment on physical PCs or servers in a production environment. IT help desk departments can create and reference a virtual library of end-user configurations to help them resolve problems more quickly.
- Introduce virtual infrastructure to your enterprise. Virtual machines created in Workstation can be deployed to the other desktop and server virtualization platforms offered by VMware. Introducing VMware Workstation virtualization to the desktop is an ideal first step to transforming your physical IT infrastructure into virtual infrastructure.
VMware Workstation works by creating fully isolated, secure virtual machines that encapsulate an operating system and its applications. The VMware virtualization layer maps the physical hardware resources to the virtual machines resources, so each virtual machine has its own CPU, memory, disks, and I/O devices, and is the full equivalent of a standard x86 machine. VMware Workstation installs onto the host operating system and provides broad hardware support by inheriting device support from the host.

FireScope BSM version 2.1.6 introduces a collection of interface enhancements, many of which are based on suggestions . from current users. These enhancements include more fine-grained control of each users dashboard pages, more extensive . use of AJAX for instant sorting and filtering of large data sets, and easier to configure Custom Maps. Users with current . maintenance and support contracts will be automatically updated based on their upgrade configuration. . . Dashboard Enhancements. 1.

Re-order pages - Users now have the ability to re-order the pages displayed in the Dashboard. . 3. Clone page - Pages can be cloned to duplicate formatting, layout and content display. This makes it easier to create a . large number of similar pages. 4. Import/Export Pages - The layout and page content configuration of a users dashboard pages can now be exported and . imported, simplifying the process of getting new users up and running with their own dashboards. . Introduction of FireScope Grid. FireScope Grid is a jQuery plug-in developed by FireScope and publicly offered as an open source project - . http://www.firescope.com/OpenSource/Grid/ - that adds datagrid behaviors to tabular data. This plug-in enables users to . page through large data sets, dynamically filter by any column or sort on the fly without need to refresh the entire page. . . This plugin has been integrated wherever applicable within the FireScope BSM interface, including Dashboard pagelets and . Configuration pages. The following is a list of the pages within FireScope that have been enhanced with the FireScope Grid . component. . Custom Maps. The process of configuring Custom Maps has been simplified with the ability to drag-and-drop points for precise adjustments . of their location on the map. Additionally, the interface for configuring Custom Maps has been redesigned to improve . usability of this feature. . Related Metrics. When viewing the Last 10 Policy Events, shown in the right-hand sidebar in Service Management, Configuration and . Administration sections of FireScope, clicking on a policy event will produce a menu with an option entitled View Related . Metrics. Clicking on this link will display all attributes that are used in determining status of the selected policy, enabling . faster root-cause analysis and visibility into how individual metrics impact other metrics and policies. .

This page displays all Visual Controls . associated with a specific Configuration Item, which is selected in top navigation bar. . . Historical Trend View. Historical Trend View is another new feature addition in version 2.1.6, and is found in the Service Management section of . FireScope BSM. This feature is designed to enable users to compare the values of attributes over two periods of time for . insight into trending performance. . Google Map. The Google Maps feature has received extensive enhancements in both Business- and Enterprise-Editions. Among these . enhancements are:. - Multiple Google maps now supported in BSM: Enterprise-Edition (EE). - Google map now available as a pagelet which can be added to dashboard pages. - Google map link has ability to store and display URL link and text links. This can include links external to FireScope BSM, . such as web-based management interfaces, knowledge base or support websites. - Google map export and import ability has been enabled for BSM:EE. Please note that importing map information from a . different FireScope BSM instance may not transfer Logical Group, Service Group, Policy or Trigger Group configuration. . Business Availability for Policies. Individual Policies can now be flagged as Business Availability Policies. This signifies that when the policy is in violation, . this service is no longer serving the business. For example, in the case of a web server farm, if the network becomes offline, . the web server is no longer benefiting the business. This is particularly useful for environments with multiple SLAs for each . service, yet want to make a single SLA identifiable as the primary. . Service Group Status. The Service Group Status pagelet is a new feature addition in version 2.1.6, and provides an at-a-glance overview of . Service Group status based on Business Availability policies. If any Policy marked as Business Availability fails or if all . Policies fail, then the Service Group will be marked as failed (Red) and the failed Policies will be listed; else the Service . Group is marked as ok (Green). . Wiki (Enterprise-Edition Only). A Wiki interface has been added to offer true collaboration throughout the entire application. Every time a Service Group is . created a new Wiki entry is automatically created for that group. . . Shared Calendar (Enterprise-Edition Only). A shared calendar has been added to allow users to see all scheduled events. This allows full collaboration and real-time . communication for all User Group members. Security of shared calendars is based on User Group membership. .
