• Run virtual machine clusters, containers, and Kubernetes on a single PC

VMware Workstation Pro allows you to run multiple virtual machines,  OCI containers ,  and  Kubernetes  clusters at the same time on the same Windows or Linux PC. Create fully-featured and secure isolated Linux and Windows virtual machines and other desktop, server, and cloud environments, complete with configurable  virtual networks  and simulate network conditions , for use in code development, solution architecture, application testing, product demonstrations, and more.

  • Run nested or connect to vSphere remote VMware

Securely connect to   vSphere   via   vCenter Server   or   ESXi   to launch, control, and manage both virtual machines (VMs) and physical servers. A  common VMware  hypervisor maximizes productivity and allows easy transfer of virtual machines to and from your local computer, and enables the deployment of entire local  VMware Cloud Foundation environments  , perfect for Experiment with the next big thing.

  • Developed and tested for every platform

Workstation Pro supports hundreds of operating systems to run and build applications of any type and now has added support for Build, Run, Pull and Push OCI containers and the ability to create   Kubernetes clusters   with   type   and   Minikube  , as well as providing tools for users to deploy   Kubernetes the hard way . Workstation Pro is an essential part of the development and testing cycle by providing applications with a production-like environment, helping developers find bugs early and release great code on time.

  • Safe and isolated environment

Run a secure second monitor with various privacy settings, tools, and network configurations, or use forensic tools to investigate operating system vulnerabilities. Workstation offers one of the most secure hypervisors in the industry and provides useful features for IT security professionals, such as the ability to 'sniff' virtual network traffic and export it to PCAP format standard.

Featured

– vSphere integration

The workstation serves as the ultimate companion to vSphere. A  shared hypervisor  brings environmental fidelity like no other, ensuring that applications can be easily moved between desktops, data centers, and the cloud. Workstations provide insight into remote clusters, data centers, and virtual machines, and allow users to quickly deploy ESXi and vCenter Server Appliance as virtual labs locally on a single PC .

– CLI for Containers and Kubernetes

Workstation Pro brings with it a new CLI for commanding OCI containers and  Kubernetes clusters of the  type : & lsquo; vctl & rsquo ;. With vctl, Workstation Pro users can Build, Run, Pull and Push OCI container images. Locally, Workstation deploys a small appliance virtual machine to host the containers, giving them their own IP address on & lsquo; vmnet, & rsquo; eliminates the need for port forwarding and consumes less resources during operation.

– High performance 3D graphics

VMware Workstation Pro supports DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.1, providing a snappy and responsive experience for running 3D applications. Users can run the most demanding 3D applications or modern games with flawless performance in a virtual machine, supporting the latest high-performance graphics hardware.

– Powerful virtual network

Create a complex IPv4 or IPv6 virtual machine network with added support for the Jumbo Framework, or integrate with third-party software to design a full data center topology using software and tools routing in the real world. Test the resiliency of the Virtual Network Simulator application by introducing restrictions on packet loss, latency, and bandwidth.

– Clone for quick copying

 

Save time and effort and ensure exact copies when creating the same virtual machine setup multiple times. Use “Linked Clone” to quickly clone a virtual machine while significantly reducing physical disk space. Use “Full Copy” to create completely isolated copies that can be shared with others.

– Useful snapshots

Create a restore point to revert on the go, which is perfect for testing unknown software or creating customer demos. Multiple snapshots make it easy to test a variety of scenarios without installing multiple operating systems.
