Virtualization
• Run multiple operating systems on a single computer (Windows, Linux, Windows Server)
• Run your virtual machine on PC/Mac using only your browser
• Virtual machine is actually running on FVTC servers, client machine is only for display.
• Allow students to interact with their machine from anywhere they have broadband access.
Benefits
• Manageability increased (create one image and clone multiple machines)
• Allows multiple machines per student (client to server to domain controller)
• Access from anywhere• Once a machine is created, can clone machine for other
instructors.• Emulates the environment medium and large companies
are starting to use.
Caveats
