- [Presenter] Before we move on, I want to mention some other products you might be interested in using. There's a suite of tools from VMware that range from ESXi, an infrastructure hypervisor that enables their vSphere ecosystem, to VMware Workstation and VMware Fusion, which are desktop hypervisors that run on Windows and Mac OS respectively. vSphere and the VMware ecosystem are popular in many large infrastructure deployments. If you're using a Mac, there's also a variety of options to choose from when it comes to desktop hypervisors. Parallels, UTM, VirtualBuddy and others allow us to run guests of various kinds and they also allow us to virtualize Mac OS on a Mac, which can be helpful if your lab requires clients of that type. There's a lot of desktop hypervisors out there, and I encourage you to try some of them out if that's how you plan to build your lab.
