Install VMware (vSphere) ESXi 5 in VMware Workstation 8
0I think you already installed VMware Workstation 8 on your PC, as a result of the new features. Version 8 has native support for VMware ESXi 5 meaning, you can run ESXi servers inside VMware Workstation without hacking the .vmx file.

Long story short …you need to test some applications and for you to able to do that you need let’s say five pc’s. Instead of buying five pc’s you buy just one PC with more memory and a stronger CPU, and on that PC you install VMware Workstation. Inside VMware Workstation you install those five systems that you need, and the systems will not even know that they are running inside a software, they “belive” they are running on a PC with RAM, CPU etc… (more…)
