Host operating system — An operating system that runs on the host machine.
See also Guest operating system.
Hot fix — An installable file that resets a user’s password, renews an expired virtual
machine or allows a cop-protected virtual machine to run from a new location.
Network address translation (NAT) — A type of network connection that allows
you to connect your virtual machines to an external network when you have only one
IP network address, and that address is used by the host computer. If you use NAT,
your virtual machine does not have its own IP address on the external network.
Instead, a separate private network is set up on the host computer. Your virtual
machine gets an address on that network from the VMware virtual DHCP server. The
VMware NAT device passes network data between one or more virtual machines and
the external network. It identifies incoming data packets intended for each virtual
machine and sends them to the correct destination.
Network quarantine — A set of controls, governed by policies, that ensure only
up-to-date virtual machines have access to an organization’s network and allow
administrators to specify which machines or subnets a virtual machine may access.
New Virtual Machine Wizard — A point-and-click interface for convenient, easy
creation of a virtual machine configuration. To launch it, choose File > New Virtual
Machine. It prompts you for information, suggesting default values in most cases. It
creates files that define the virtual machine.
See also Virtual machine settings editor.
Package — An installable bundle for distribution to end users. The package may
include one virtual machine and an application used to run virtual machines.
Policy — A policy controls the capabilities of a virtual machine. Policies are set in the
policy editor.
Project — A set of components for creating packages. You create and manage
projects in the VMware ACE Manager. You may include some or all of the components
of a project when you create a package.
Resume — Return a virtual machine to operation from its suspended state. When
you resume a suspended virtual machine, all applications are in the same state they
were when the virtual machine was suspended.

Shared folder — A shared folder is a folder on the host computer — or on a
network drive accessible from the host computer — that can be used by both the
