Desktop virtualization software empowered for robust performance.
Parallels Workstation is a cost-effective, user-friendly virtualization solution that enables PC users to create fully networked, independent virtual machines on one physical machine. This software is perfect for accelerating software development, reducing hardware costs, improving IT efficiency, presenting complex demonstrations, and creating student-friendly teaching environments.
One of the key features of Parallels Workstation is its strong OS support. This virtual machine engine supports a wide range of x86-based operating systems, including the entire Windows family, virtually all Linux distributions, FreeBSD, and legacy systems like OS/2, eComStation, and MS-DOS.
In addition to its robust OS support, Parallels Workstation is highly efficient. The software has a small program footprint that maximizes hardware efficiency for both the host machine and guest virtual machines.
With an easy-to-use wizard and management console, Parallels Workstation is also incredibly user-friendly. Users can create virtual machines in seconds, and the management console ensures hassle-free control of virtual machines. Plus, it's the most cost-effective virtualization solution available in the field today.
To run Parallels Workstation, the host computer must meet certain hardware requirements, including a 400 MHz or faster processor, 32-bit platform, and sufficient memory and hard disk space. Additionally, an SVGA video card with an 8-bit display adapter and Ethernet adapter supported by the host OS is recommended.
The software virtualizes a full set of standard PC hardware, including a Pentium II or AMD Duron CPU, up to four IDE devices, up to four serial and three bi-directional parallel ports, an Ethernet virtual network card, and more. Overall, Parallels Workstation is a comprehensive and reliable virtualization solution.
