Bridged Networking: the virtual machine connects to the local network using the same Host's network card. It is necessary to assign to the Guest valid name and IP address, so it will figure out as a real machine inside the LAN.

NAT - Network Address Translation: in this mode, the virtual machine can access the network resources but does not have its own IP address, which identifies it on the external network. VMware sets up a VPN (Virtual Private Network) between the virtual machines and the Host system.

Host Only: the easiest way to put Guest and Host in communication. VMware creates a direct network link between the two machines, similar to using a "crossed" network cable.

1). Create Virtual Disk
2). Use existing Virtual Disk
3). Use physical Disk

Unlike thin clients, the Pano Logic device does not use any software or even drivers, so executives claim that it cannot be infected by malware. Moreover, the device virtualizes I/O, so that end users can plug in a USB device or printer and use it over the network.

...

The Pano Logic devices contain no CPU, no memory and no OS; they include audio-in and audio-out ports, as well as three USB connections, a VGA video connection, 10/100 Ethernet, and a power connector. Inside each device is a custom Pano Logic chip that manages the virtualization.
