Therefore, you can download the evaluation version of VMware Workstation 7.1 and after the evaluation period expires, you can continue to use your virtual machines on the "Player". VMware Workstation is also complemented by VMware Player, a stand-alone executable that allows you to "Play" operating systems created with the VMware Workstation product. Version 7.1 of VMware Workstation was released very recently, on May 25, 2010.
#Vmware vs virtualbox oracle software#
While the company continues to maintain VMware Server 2.0, its free hosted virtualization product, it has concentrated its desktop virtualization development efforts on VMWare Workstation, a $189.00 desktop virtualization software package. This complicates things somewhat for the desktop virtualization user seeking a free solution, as ESX 3i requires a dedicated system. VMware, a division of EMC Corporation, decided to make some strategic changes along the lines of its free virtualization solutions by offering its enterprise-level hypervisor, ESX Server, in a free version, ESXi. For starters, Sun no longer exists as an independent company - it's now owned by Oracle. Things have changed quite a bit in the last two years. At the time, the two preferred free solutions were Sun's xVM VirtualBox and and VMware Server 2.0. Two years ago, we visited the subject of free desktop virtualization hypervisors. Let us know if anyone is in the position to confirm this.Two titans battle for desktop virtualization supremacy.
#Vmware vs virtualbox oracle windows 8.1#
This rockwell site suggests all FTView 8 and Studio 24 are both windows 8.1 compatible, so in theory you could get it to work with a 10 host and 8.1 guest. The below suggests this works for a windows 8.1 or higher host and windows 8.1 or higher guest. Your link suggests you can do USB passthrough with hyper-V using Enhanced Session mode. Thank you Operaghost for the hint on the Extension Pack licensing issues. You can see the mess that would be involved in trying to get it to work (network - IP - based USB adapter). I'm planning on just keeping Rockwell in that VM (no Schneider to break things :D)įor future people, I did find this link about Hyper-V USB support which I found informative:

Our licensing is going to restrict me to a single VM at a time so I should be more than sufficient to run that. The computer has a i7-7820HQ processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a 512GB M.2 PCIe hard drive so I should be good to go with a VM.

I'm pushing to go with VMWare Workstation Pro for my machine. VirtualBox licensing would probably push me to use Hyper-V though. I have tried Hyper-V and VirtualBox and they both seemed very capable and if I did not require USB support I think either would do the job just fine. I didn't investigate further.įor me, I started with VMware and that is what I choose. Maybe there is a way around that minimum purchase. Licenses are $50 each with a minimum order of 100.

Everyone talks about how it is free, but it isn't free if you are using the Extension Pack (you really need it) for commercial use. But I also ran into issues with their licensing. But, when I need to connect to a device via USB and I can do so with VMware Workstation it made Hyper-V a non starter. Which, I understand that is intentionally the philosophy to make the VM isolated from the host. The downside for me was the lack of USB support for connecting to external devices such as a PLC. I have never had issues with software not working as it should within Hyper-V. I don't use it for Rockwell but more for Dev stuff and legacy programs, got images for Server 2012, 2008, XP, Win10 and a Linux one too VMWare Workstation here too, just make sure you get a decent sized second drive if you can to use as the VM HDD, also get as much RAM as you can in the machine, at least 16GB. Are there enough horror stories with other virtual machines for me have good ground to push for VMWare? I've used it before, can make it work, and Rockwell pushes it. Personally, I'd prefer to use VMWare Workstation Pro. We have another division that uses VirtualBox for their VM'ing. Does anyone have any experience using it with the Rockwell software? I have no experience with it. Our IT department is pushing me towards Hyper-V.

We primarily run Rockwell software and are currently using FTView 8.0 and Studio 5000 v24, neither of which are officially Windows 10 compatible. I'm getting a new laptop from work that shipped with Windows 10 that our IT department wasn't able to downgrade to Win7 64.
