Hello all,<br />
<br />
So I have a new Dell Precision it is 32GB Ram, i7 4 Cores 8 Logical Cores. &nbsp; I am setting up a development VM using Visual Studio and many other developer installs. &nbsp; Looking for recommendations for VMWare Workstation Pro 14. &nbsp; My selections would be RAM, Under processors it shows Number of Processors, Number of Cores per Processor. &nbsp; I have selected Virtual Intel VT selection I think that was correct and set network adapter to bridged. &nbsp; Needing to know best suggestion for the cores settings and Ram. &nbsp; Also how much disk space I set it to 60GB for now I have 1TB on the host.

Hello all,

So I have a new Dell Precision it is 32GB Ram, i7 4 Cores 8 Logical Cores.   I am setting up a development VM using Visual Studio and many other developer installs.   Looking for recommendations for VMWare Workstation Pro 14.   My selections would be RAM, Under processors it shows Number of Processors, Number of Cores per Processor.   I have selected Virtual Intel VT selection I think that was correct and set network adapter to bridged.   Needing to know best suggestion for the cores settings and Ram.   Also how much disk space I set it to 60GB for now I have 1TB on the host.

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

Since 1984, Dell has been delivering technology to fit your life.
Dell is in Enterprise, Home Office and Consumer sectors of the market, supplying a broad range of customizable desktops, laptops, notebooks, servers, storage, and network devices.

Dell

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
