Virtualization of the operating systems of the computers in the computer labs.

Virtualization of the linux images of the computer labs so that students can run them on their personal computers and thus achieve an environment similar to that of the labs.

Students are required to install VMware Player software to run these virtual images.

The virtual machine simulates a stand-alone hardware platform including a complete operating system that runs as if it were installed on the computer itself.

Virtualization is the creation -through software- of a virtual version of some technological resource, such as a hardware platform, an operating system, a memory key or other network resources.
