VMware’s common hypervisor enables 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 PC. IT professionals, developers, and companies that build, test, or demonstrate software for any device, platform, or cloud rely on Workstation Pro to put the data center in your laptop. VMware Workstation Pro Features Sphere Connectivity Use Workstation Pro to connect to vSphere, ESXi, or other Workstation Pro servers. Manage remote Linux, Windows (and other) VMs, control power operations, or move VMs to and from vSphere environments.
Use “Linked Clones” to quickly duplicate a VM while significantly reducing physical disk space
Clones for Fast Duplication Save time and effort and ensure exact duplication when creating the same VM configuration multiple times. Use “Full Clones” to create fully isolated duplicates that you can share with others. Helpful Snapshots Create a restore point that you can revert to on the fly, perfect for testing unfamiliar software or creating customer demos. Multiple snapshots make it easy to test different scenarios without having to install multiple operating systems.
New in Workstation is network simulation to introduce packet loss, latency, and bandwidth constraints
Efficient Virtual Networking Create complex IPv4 or IPv6 virtual networks for your virtual machines, or integrate with third-party software to design complete data center topologies using real-world routing tools and software. High-performance 3D graphics VMware Workstation Pro supports DirectX 10 and OpenGL 3.3, ensuring smooth, responsive 3D application execution. Run the most demanding 3D applications, such as AutoCAD or SOLIDWORKS, with near-native performance on a Windows VM. High-resolution display support Workstation Pro is optimized to support high-resolution 4K UHD (3840×2160) and QHD+ (3200×1800) desktop displays used on x86 laptops and tablets.
We even support an open standard so you can create and restore VMs from other vendors
It also supports multiple monitors with different DPI settings, such as a new 4K UHD display next to an existing 1080p HD display. Cross-Compatibility Create Linux or Windows VMs that can run across the entire VMware product line, or create limited VMs for use in Horizon FLEX. Monster Virtual Machines Create massive VMs with up to 16 vCPUs, 8 TB of virtual disks, and 64 GB of memory to run the most demanding desktop and server applications in a virtualized environment. Boost graphics-intensive applications by allocating up to 2 GB of available host video memory to a virtual machine.
VirusTotal Results: Configuration:
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 USB device connections. Virtual machines can be encrypted and password-protected to ensure access only for authorized users. Shared Virtual Machines Quickly provision and test applications in a simulated production environment. Run VMware Workstation Pro as a server to share a repository of preloaded Linux and Windows virtual machines in any configuration with your colleagues, department, or organization.
