VMware Workstation 16 Pro

Description

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 businesses developing, testing, or demonstrating software for any device, platform, or cloud rely on Workstation Pro.

Run multiple operating systems on one 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 supplement them with configurable simulations of virtual networks and network conditions. Then use the VMs for code development, solution architectures, application testing, product demonstrations, and more.

Development and testing capabilities for every 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

Securely connect to vSphere, ESXi, and workstation servers to start, monitor, and manage both virtual machines (VMs) and physical hosts. A common VMware hypervisor maximizes 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 network configurations, or use forensic tools to identify operating system vulnerabilities. Workstation offers 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 unified environment and allows applications to integrate easily Desktop, data center and cloud can be moved. The workstation provides insight 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, and ensures smooth and fast presentation of 3D applications. So you can run the most demanding 3D applications such as AutoCAD or SOLIDWORKS with near native performance in a Windows VM.

Cloning for fast duplication

Save the time and effort of repeatedly setting up the same VM by using an exact copy. With “Linked Cloning” you can quickly create a VM and significantly reduce storage space on physical media. With “full cloning” you can create completely isolated duplicates that can be shared with other users.

REST API for VM automation

The REST API can be used locally as an extension of the workflow or in remote locations for control. A remote private server can be used. The solution uses the same API framework introduced in VMware Fusion. It provides 20 controls such as virtual host and guest networks, VM operational status, and shared directory management to programmatically embed source code into host directories.

Powerful virtual networks

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

Useful snapshots

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

 

AREAS OF APPLICATION
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.
