Discover the true power and flexibility of your
desktop or laptop computer with VMware Workstation.
Reduce hardware costs by 50% or more by running
multiple operating systems simultaneously on a single
physical PC. Automate and streamline tasks to save
time and improve productivity. Join the millions
worldwide who use Workstation to:
* Host legacy applications and overcome OS migration
issues.
* Configure & test new software or patches in an
isolated environment for easier application migration
and updates
* Take your desktop with you for secure mobile
computing
* Use Multiple Operating Systems on the Same PC
VMware Workstation makes it simple to create and run
multiple virtual machines on your desktop or laptop
computer. You can convert an existing physical PC into
a VMware virtual machine, or create a new virtual
machine from scratch. Each virtual machine represents
a complete PC, including the processor, memory,
network connections and peripheral ports.
VMware Workstation lets you use your virtual machines
to run Windows, Linux and a host of other operating
systems side-by-side on the same computer. You can
switch between operating systems instantly with a
click of a mouse, share files between virtual machines
with drag-and-drop functionality and access all the
peripheral devices you rely on every day.
* Take Snapshots & Videos of your Virtual Machines
With Workstation, you can take a "snapshot" that
preserves the state of a virtual machine so you can
return to it at any time. Snapshots are useful when
you need to revert your virtual machine to a prior,
stable system state. Workstation displays thumbnails
of all your snapshots on a single screen, making it
easy for you to track and revert to a previously saved
snapshot.
You can even use Workstation to record and play video
files that capture all changes to a virtual machine
over a period of time. This function is exclusive to
VMware Workstation and is incredibly useful for
software debugging, Help Desk forensics, sales
demonstrations and training.
* Run a Multi-tier System on a Single Host Computer
Run multi-tier enterprise applications on a single
piece of hardware by managing network-connected
virtual machines with the Teams feature of
Workstation. Teams let you create virtual network
environments that include client, server and database
virtual machines.
With Workstation Teams, you can turn an entire multi-
tier environment on and off with a single click of the
mouse button. Workstation displays live thumbnails of
all connected virtual machines, enabling you to easily
identify and switch between the virtual machines
associated with a team.
* Clone your Virtual Machines to Accelerate Deployment
Installing operating systems and applications can be
time consuming. With clones, you can make many copies
of a virtual machine from a single installation and
configuration process. This capability makes it fast
and simple to distribute standardized computing
environments to employees and students, or to create a
baseline configuration for testing.
* Take Your Virtual Machines With You
Workstation includes the ability to create and deploy
secure virtual machines (called ACEs). Mobility is one
of the primary benefits of this feature, as it enables
users to securely take their desktops with them on
portable media devices such as USB thumb drives.
