[转载]Virtual machine Parallels Workstation 2.0 Beta started
信息来源：[url]http://www.parallels.com/en/products/workstation/[/url]Parallels Workstation is powerful desktop virtualization solution that empowers IT professionals with the ability to develop, test and deploy in multiple operating systems on a single PC. A sophisticated virtual machine engine supports nearly every standard x86-based operating system, including the entire Windows family, multiple Linux distributions, OS/2, MS-DOS and FreeBSD, each of which can be launched and utilized in completely networked, fully portable, totally independent virtual containers. Since guest operating systems are self-contained and directly access hardware profiles, users never need to proactively partition hard drives allocate system resources, or continually reboot the host operating system.
One Computer. Multiple Operating Systems. Limitless Possibilities.
Within its small footprint and unobtrusive interface, Parallels Workstation presents a powerful, customizable desktop virtualization solution that positively impacts IT operations at enterprises worldwide. Corporations, organizations, and government agencies around the world use Parallels Workstation to:
Accelerate software development
Users can create virtual development and testing environments on a single machine, enabling them to test software in a variety of real world conditions in real time without having to boot up multiple machines. This streamlines the QA process; testers are able to perform a more complete review in a smaller timeframe, resulting in a more mature, bug-free final product.
Reduce hardware costs
Since users can work with multiple operating systems simultaneously and seamlessly switch between them, there is no need to dedicate entire machines to specific operating systems. From one location, users can load and use the ideal operating system to compete necessary tasks.
Improve IT efficiency
Testing new software, updates or patches in a virtual environment prior to deployment to physical environments ensures that potentially hazardous bugs or conflicts can be identified and eliminated before they can do damage to servers or individual machines. IT managers can also test complex, multi-tier applications on a single machine.
Share complex, multi-tier demonstrations from a single laptop
By creating several virtual machines on a portable laptop, sales engineers and business development managers can demonstrate their software’s full capabilities in real multi-tier or networked environments, without being tethered to a physical, off-site network of servers and workstations.
Create student-friendly teaching environments
Parallels Workstation enables instructors to create self-contained operating systems in which users can work with multiple operating systems and software sets simultaneously. Virtual machines can be programmed to automatically reset at shutdown, ensuring that students will have a clean, error-free environment to work with each time they come to class
