Yes, you can practice most of all of the vSphere features in workstation with the exception of maybe FT (fault tolerance). You will, however, need an iSCSI SAN or NFS NAS but the good news is that those can be run in Workstation too. Here are some articles I wrote on using OpenFiler as your SAN/NAS with vSphere: http://www.petri.co.il/use-openfiler-as-free-vmware-esx-san-server.htm http://www.petri.co.il/connect-vmware-esx-server-iscsi-san-openfiler.htm If you have more questions, let me know. Thanks again! -David Hi Madhu,

I just wanted to mention that you may be able to download an updated BIOS from Sony which will allow you to enable VT. I ran into the same problem trying to run a MAC OSX VM on my Sony Vaio with a P8600 (requires hardware VT to be enabled) and after a little bit of looking around discovered that Sony had released an updated version of the BIOS. Of course this may not hold true for all models (mine is a VGN-SR190), but may be worth checking out. -Josh Coen Hi David,
