VMware Workstation is powerful virtual machine software for the desktop. Optimized for the power user, VMware Workstation runs multiple operating systems - including Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Novell NetWare - simultaneously on a single PC in fully networked, portable virtual machines.

VMware Workstation provides more choice, greater flexibility, and more powerful functionality than any other virtual machine software in the marketplace today.

VMware Workstation has revolutionized the way software and IT infrastructure is developed and deployed. You can build mission-critical Windows- and Linux-based applications, develop and test multi-tier applications on multiple operating systems simultaneously, and archive test environments on file servers and restore them quickly.
Ensure application compatibility and operating system migration. You can support legacy applications while migrating safely to a new operating system and test new operating systems prior to deployment.
