Why Choose VMware Workstation?
Winner of more than 50 industry awards, VMware Workstation is recognized for its broad operating system support, rich user experience, comprehensive feature set, and high performance. It's the perfect companion for any technical professional that wants to save significant time with a tool that is backed by world-class support.
Put the Cloud in Your PC
Run a full web or cloud environment on your PC, including VMware Micro Cloud Foundry. Run as a server to share virtual machines with your team, department, or anyone in your organization. Remotely connect to virtual machines running on VMware vSphere. Simply drag and drop to move virtual machines to a VMware vSphere server. Run, share, connect, or move virtual machines, it’s a whole new way to work.
Take Your Productivity to the Next Level
Run applications in Linux, Windows, and more at the same time on the same PC without rebooting. Evaluate and test new operating systems, applications and patches in an isolated environment. Demonstrate complex software applications on a single laptop in a repeatable, reliable manner. Rich integration with Visual Studio, Eclipse, and the SpringSource Tool Suite make it incredibly easy to test applications on multiple platforms.
Run Your Most Demanding Applications
Create virtual machines with up to 8 virtual processors or 8 virtual cores, 2 TB virtual disks and up to 64 GB of memory per virtual machine to run the most demanding applications. Protect your virtual machines from prying eyes with 256-bit AES encryption and smart card authentication.
Best 3D Graphics Just Got Better
VMware Workstation was the first to support 3D graphics in virtualized environments and was the first to support Windows Aero in Windows Vista and Windows 7 virtual machines. Run even more 3D applications with support for DirectX 9.0c Shader Model 3 and OpenGL 2.13D graphics in Windows virtual machines.
For Software Developers
Software developers rely on VMware Workstation’s integration with Visual Studio, Eclipse, and SpringSource Tools Suite to streamline the development and testing of their applications in multiple environments.
For QA Testers
Quality assurance teams use Workstation to efficiently and economically test applications on a complex matrix of operating systems, application platforms, and browsers—all while doing away with repetitive configuration tasks.
For Systems and Sales Engineers
Systems engineers and other technical sales professionals love Workstation because it gives them the power to demonstrate complex multi-tier applications with ease. Workstation can simulate an entire virtual network environment—including clients, servers and database virtual machines—all on a single PC.
For Teachers and Trainers
Instructors use VMware Workstation to create virtual machines for students that contain all the lessons, applications and tools required for the course. At the end of each class, VMware Workstation can automatically revert the virtual machines back to their original state, making the classroom ready for the next set of students.
For Virtualization Professionals
IT professionals that have the technical capabilities to deploy VMware products and those that are just learning use VMware Workstation to effectively demo VMware vSphere on a single PC in a repeatable, reliable manner. Configure and test virtual machine deployments before deploying them to test or production. Build a personal lab for experimenting with multiple operating systems, applications, and for preparing for VMware Certification tests (i.e. VCP).
