Please refer to the Remote PC Support page for details on supported virtualization software. You may obtain a free download of VMware Server from VMware, Inc.. Do not purchase VMware ESX, VMware Virtual Center or VMware Workstation products; these products do not currently work with NETLAB+. You will need a Windows Server operating system to host the VMware Server application. NDG recommends Windows Server 2003, which typically costs $600 – $900 (US). Virtual Machines can run either Windows or Linux operating systems. Some Networking Academy curriculums utilize various Microsoft Windows operating systems, which typically require one license per virtual machine. The MSDN Academic Alliance program (where available) can provide Academic discounts for these products for qualifying institutions.
