Chapter 19. Ten Other VMware Products
If you're as addicted to VMware as I am, you'll likely want to check out some of its other products. Take a look at the list in this chapter to see whether any of these products interest you. You can get a really good feel for virtualization using either VMware workstation or the free VMware server. If you need to run Windows on a Mac, VMware Fusion is a fantastic product. Virtual appliances are pre-configured servers that you can deploy in minutes. Virtualization opens up a whole new way of doing things.
VMware ACE

You can use ACE (see Figure 19-1) to distribute standardized and secured virtual desktops. It enables you to easily deploy and run a virtual machine that meets your corporate standards on any PC. Additionally, your users can bring their virtual machines with them on a thumb drive by using Pocket Ace.

VMware Fusion

If you have an Intel Mac, you can run Windows on it by dual-booting with the Apple Boot Camp technology. Alternatively, you can run Windows at the same time via VMware Fusion (see Figure 19-2). You can also utilize snapshots with Fusion.
