How do I run many operating systems at same time without host OS?

[Trialces]

Hi,

Please tell me how to achieve this. I want to run few operating systems independently at the same. No host operating system like in VMWare Workstation which obviously we have to install on something. So what I look for is software that will install directly on computer. This software only role is to maintain other operating systems. It should have GUI. First thought ESX/ESXi is what I'm looking for but after installation I realised that to run this you have to install VMware vSphere Client on other machine.

At the moment I think that there isn't a solution that is already available.

You have to use Workstation (or similar solutions).

Maybe in the future when there will be some bare-metal solutions also for "client" side.

Hello,

You want a Client Hypervisor and there are several available. Nucleos has one ( I think that is the spelling ) and there are several more in the works from VMware, Citrix, etc.

there are several Client Hypervisors out there at the moment, there is NXtop, Neculeus, VMware and Citrix have on in the pipeline. personally Neculeus is easier to deploy as it self virtualises itself, very cool indeed.
