A common VMware hypervisor allows for easy portability
VMware Workstation Pro Overview VMware Workstation Pro is the industry standard for running multiple operating systems as virtual machines (VMs) on a single Linux or Windows computer. IT professionals, developers, and companies building, testing, or demoing software for any device, platform, or cloud rely on Workstation Pro. Workstation Pro brings the data center to your laptop. VMware Workstation Pro Sphere Features Connectivity Use Workstation Pro to connect to vSphere, ESXi, or other Workstation Pro servers. Manage remote Linux or Windows (and other) VMs, issue operational commands, or transfer VMs to and from vSphere environments.
Use “full clones” to create fully isolated duplicates that can be shared with others
Quick Duplication Clones Save time and effort and ensure an exact duplicate when creating the same VM configuration multiple times. Use “linked clones” to quickly duplicate a virtual machine while significantly reducing physical storage space. Useful Snapshots Create a restore point that you can go back to on the fly, perfect for testing unfamiliar software or creating user demos. Multiple snapshots make it easy to test different scenarios without having to install multiple operating systems. Powerful virtual network Create complex IPv4 or IPv6 virtual networks for virtual machines or integrate with third-party software to design complete data center topologies using real software and routing tools.
New to Workstation is network simulation, which introduces packet loss, latency and bandwidth limitations
High-performance 3D graphics VMware Workstation Pro supports DirectX 10 and OpenGL 3.3 to ensure a smooth and fast experience when running 3D applications. You can run your most demanding 3D applications, such as AutoCAD or SOLIDWORKS, with performance almost native to a Windows virtual machine. High-resolution display support Workstation Pro is optimized to support 4K UHD (3840×2160) high-resolution desktop displays and QHD+ (3200×1800) displays used in x86 laptops and tablets. It also supports multiple monitors with different DPI settings, such as the new 4K UHD display alongside the existing 1080p HD display. Cross Compatibility Create Linux or Windows VMs that can run across the entire VMware product portfolio, or create limited VMs for use in Horizon FLEX.
Shared Virtual Machines Quickly provision and test applications in a simulated production environment
We even support an open standard, so you can create and recreate virtual machines from other vendors. Massive Virtual Machines Create massive virtual machines with up to 16 virtual processors, 8 TB of virtual disks and 64 GB of memory to run your most demanding desktop and server applications in a virtual environment. Give graphics-intensive applications an extra boost by allocating up to 2GB of available host video memory to the VM. Restricted Access to Virtual Machines Protect corporate content by restricting access to Workstation virtual machine settings such as drag and drop, copy and paste, and connecting USB devices. Virtual machines can be encrypted and password protected to ensure access to only authorized users.
