VMware Workstation 16 Pro

VMware Workstation Pro 16.x for Windows and Linux, English (ESD)
VMware Workstation: Development and testing capabilities for any platform

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 develop, test or demonstrate 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 real Linux and Windows VMs, as well as other desktop, server and tablet environments, and complement them with configurable simulations of virtual networking and networking conditions. Then use the VMs for code development, solution architectures, application testing, product demonstrations, and more.
Development and testing capabilities for any platform

Workstation Pro supports several hundred operating systems and is compatible with cloud and container technologies (e.g. Docker and Kubernetes).
Connection to VMware vSphere

Connect securely to vSphere, ESXi, and workstation servers to start, control, and manage both virtual machines (VMs) and physical hosts. A common VMware hypervisor provides maximum productivity and makes it easy to move VMs to and from your local PC.
Protect and isolate environments

Run a secure second desktop with different privacy settings, tools and networking configurations, or use forensic tools to identify operating system vulnerabilities. Workstation provides one of the most secure hypervisors in the industry and offers powerful features for IT security professionals.
FUNCTIONS
vSphere Integration

Workstation complements vSphere perfectly. A common hypervisor provides a highly uniform environment and ensures that applications can be easily integrated Desktop, data center and cloud can be moved. Workstation provides visibility into remote clusters, data centers and virtual machines. The solution enables users to quickly deploy ESXi and the vCenter Server appliance as VMs on a single PC in a local lab.
Powerful 3D Graphics

VMware Workstation Pro supports DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL 3.3, ensuring a smooth and fast presentation of 3D applications. You can therefore Run the most demanding 3D applications like AutoCAD or SOLIDWORKS with near native performance in a Windows VM.
Clones for fast duplication

Save the time and effort of repeatedly setting up the same VM by using a create an exact duplicate. With �Linked Clones� you can quickly duplicate a VM and significantly reduce the storage space on physical media. Complete cloning� allows you to create completely isolated duplicates that can be shared with other users.
REST API for VM Automation

The REST API can be used locally as a workflow extension or at remote locations for control of an external private server can be used. The solution uses the same API framework introduced in VMware Fusion. It provides 20 operating controls, such as virtual host and guest networking, VM operating status, and shared folder management to programmatically embed source code into host directories.
Powerful Virtual Networking

Create complex IPv4 or IPv6 virtual networks for VMs with additional support for jumbo frames or integrate third-party software to create a Use real routing software and tools to design complete data center topologies Verify application stability through virtual network simulations, with the ability to set packet loss, latency and bandwidth constraints.
Useful snapshots

Create a rollback point to which you can return in no time. This is perfect for testing unknown software or creating customer demos.

APPLICATION AREAS
The solution for Windows virtualization

Workstation Pro provides a desktop virtualization solution for all users. IT professionals have a powerful productivity tool. Developers get a comprehensive development environment. Business leaders can implement BYO initiatives. Students and home users can have the best of both worlds.
