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 businesses that build, test, or demount software for any device, platform, or cloud rely on Workstation Pro.
Run multiple operating systems on a single PC
VMware Workstation Pro lets you run multiple operating systems simultaneously on the same Windows or Linux PC. Create true Linux and Windows virtual machines and other desktop, server, and tablet environments, with virtual networking simulation and network state, for code development, solution architecture, application testing, product demonstrations, and more.
Develop and test for any platform
Workstation Pro supports hundreds of operating systems and works with cloud and container technologies such as Docker.
Connecting to VMware vSphere
Securely connect to vSphere, ESXi, or other Workstation servers to launch, control, and manage both virtual machines (VMs) and physical hosts. A common VMware hypervisor maximizes productivity and simplifies the transfer of VMs to and from your local PC.
Securing and isolating environments
Run a second, secure desktop with different privacy settings, tools, and network configurations, or use forensic tools to investigate operating system vulnerabilities. Workstation provides one of the most secure hypervisors in the industry and offers powerful features for IT security professionals.
vSphere Connectivity
Use Workstation Pro to connect to vSphere, ESXi, or other Workstation Pro servers. Drive remote Linux or Windows virtual machines (and others), control power operations, or transfer virtual machines to and from vSphere environments. A common VMware hypervisor enables easy portability.
Clones for rapid duplication
Save time and energy and ensure an exact copy when repeatedly creating the same virtual machine configuration. Use "Linked Clones" to quickly duplicate a virtual machine while significantly reducing physical disk space. Use "Full Clones" to create completely isolated duplicates that can be shared with others.
Useful snapshots
Create a restore point that can be restored on the fly, which is perfect for testing unknown software or creating customer 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 third-party software to design complete data center topologies using real-world routing software and tools. New to Workstation is network simulation to introduce packet loss, latency, and bandwidth restrictions.
High-performance 3D graphics
VMware Workstation Pro supports DirectX 10 and OpenGL 3.3, delivering a smooth and responsive experience when running 3D applications. You can run the most demanding 3D applications, such as AutoCAD or SOLIDWORKS, with near-native performance on a Windows virtual machine.
High-resolution display support
Workstation Pro is optimized to support high-resolution 4K UHD (3840×2160) displays for desktop computers and QHD+ (3200×1800) displays used on x86 laptops and tablets. It also supports multiple monitors with different DPI settings, such as a new 4K UHD display alongside an existing 1080p HD screen.
Cross-compatibility
Create Linux or Windows virtual machines that can run across the entire VMware product portfolio, or create restricted virtual machines for use in Horizon FLEX. We even support the open standard so you can create and read virtual machines from other vendors.
Monster Virtual Machines
Create large virtual machines with up to 16 virtual CPUs, 8 TB 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.
Restricted access to virtual machines
Protect company content by restricting access to Workstation virtual machine settings, such as drag-and-drop, copy-paste, and USB device connections. Virtual machines can be encrypted and password-protected to ensure that only authorized users have access.
Shared virtual machines
Quickly share and test applications in a simulated production environment. Run VMware Workstation Pro as a server to share a repository of pre-loaded Linux and Windows virtual machines in any desired configuration with your teammates, department, or organization.
