New VMware Desktop Products Released (Workstation, Fusion, ACE)(情報元のブックマーク数)

VMware Fusion 3.0と、VMWare Workstation 7.0とVMWare Fusion3.0がリリースされているみたいです。

VMware Fusion 3.0 went from Release Candidate to General Availability last night, as did VMware Workstation 7.0 and VMware ACE 2.6
Lots of new stuff - the feature I welcome the most is nested VMs. This allows you to run ESX with guests inside of workstation (if you have enough memory that is). This is a great feature if you are doing ESX work on your laptop. This is common in both lab and testing, but we also use this a lot in training. This feature has been in the workstation and fusion products (unsupported) for quite some time, but VMware is finally rolling it into the fold of supported features.

ACEでディスクイメージにAES暗号化がサポートとかフォレンジックには厳しい世の中になってきましたね。

AES encryption of disk images is a feature that's been on ACE, but is now available on the other desktop products. This is a great help to anyone doing PCI or HIPAA work in a VM. You can now for instance transport a VM and use encryption native to the product, as opposed to adding a step and another product to get the encryption job done. The encryption on disk also (maybe) fills the "data encryption at rest" requirement in many compliance frameworks. Keep in mind though that achieving actual compliance with any compliance framework depends on a lot more than just encryption - it's best to involve your auditor before running sensitive VM's on a laptop. This one new feature is very welcome and is certainly required in many compliance situations, but might not get you all the way to compliant just on it's own.
