Powerful Virtual Machine Software
for the Technical Professional
VMware Workstation is powerful desktop
virtualisation software for software developers/testers
and enterprise IT professionals that runs multiple operating
systems simultaneously on a single PC. Users can run
Windows, Linux, NetWare, or Solaris x86 in fully networked,
portable virtual machines - no rebooting or hard drive
partitioning required. VMware Workstation delivers excellent
performance and advanced features such as memory optimisation
and the ability to manage multi-tier configurations
and multiple snapshots.
With millions of customers and dozens of major product
awards over the last six years, VMware Workstation is
a proven technology that improves productivity and flexibility.
An indispensable tool for software developers and IT
professionals worldwide.
VMware Workstation enables users to:
- Configure and test multi-tier applications, application
updates, and operating system patches on a single
PC
- Easily restore or share archived test environments,
reducing repetitive configuration and set-up time
- Streamline computer-based training by allowing
students to always start from a "clean"
state and experiment with multiple operating systems,
applications, and tools in secure, isolated virtual
machines
- Run software demos of complex or multi-tier configurations
on a single laptop
- Accelerate help desk resolution of end-user problems
with a library of pre-configured virtual machines
