There are two versions of the application: Workstation Player and Workstation Pro.
The package integrates seamlessly with vSphere, the VMware enterprise server virtualization product, resulting in the easy administration of all VMs in a company's data center remotely from the local machine. With multiple VMs, you can choose between fully isolated duplicates or linked clones that rely partially on the original to save hard drive space. Its cloning system makes deploying multiple instances of a similar VM a breeze. You can use VMware snapshots to set rollback points for testing. Its complete data center topologies can be designed and implemented when VMware is integrated with external tools - essentially emulating an entire enterprise DC. Its advanced networking features let you set up and administer elaborate virtual networks for VMs. The software allows for virtual machine open standards, providing the ability to create and run VMs from competing vendors within the VMware product. It permits advanced 3D solutions by supporting DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.1, eliminating image and video degradation within the VMs even when using graphics-intensive applications. Its robust set of functions covers many virtualization needs. With over 20 years on the market, VMware Workstation is often considered the industry standard for virtual machine applications. The default configuration may require changes.
