What does it mean to run CollabNet TeamForge on a virtual machine?

CollabNet TeamForge can run as a virtual machine image in a VMWare Player. You get all the functionality of CollabNet TeamForge with the ease of installation and maintenance that comes with VMWare.

To access CollabNet TeamForge , one user (generally the site administrator) must configure and run the CollabNet TeamForge application server in VMware Player. When the CollabNet TeamForge application server is running, other users can access it via a Web browser. These users do not need to run VMware Player.

The CollabNet TeamForge download may also run on some other VMware products, such as VMware Workstation 5.5. However, these instructions are only for using VMware Player.
