Expand the Power of Your PC with Virtualization


Discover
the true power and flexibility of your desktop or laptop computer with
VMware Workstation. Reduce hardware costs by 50% or more by running
multiple operating systems simultaneously on a single PC. Automate and
streamline tasks to save time and improve productivity. Join the
millions worldwide who use Workstation to:

• Host legacy applications and overcome platform migration issues
  
• Configure & test new software or patches in an isolated environment
  
• Automate tasks for software development and testing
  
• Demonstrate multi-tier configurations on a single PC
  

Use Multiple Operating Systems Concurrently on the Same PC


VMware
Workstation 6.5 makes it simple to create and run multiple virtual
machines on your desktop or laptop computer. You can convert an
existing physical PC into a VMware virtual machine, or create a new
virtual machine from scratch. Each virtual machine represents a
complete PC, including the processor, memory, network connections and
peripheral ports.
VMware Workstation lets you use your virtual machines to run
Windows, Linux and a host of other operating systems side-by-side on
the same computer. You can switch between operating systems instantly
with a click of a mouse, share files between virtual machines with
drag-and-drop functionality and access all the peripheral devices you
rely on.


Take Snapshots & Videos of your Virtual Machines


With
Workstation, you can take a “snapshot” that preserves the state of a
virtual machine so you can return to it at any time. Snapshots are
useful when you need to revert your virtual machine to a prior, stable
system state. Workstation displays thumbnails of all your snapshots on
a single screen, making it easy for you to track and revert to a
previously saved snapshot.
You can even use Workstation 6.5 to record and play video files that
capture all changes to a virtual machine over a period of time. This
function is exclusive to VMware Workstation and is incredibly useful
for software debugging, Help Desk forensics, sales demonstrations and
training.


Run an Entire Multi-tier System on a Single Host Computer


Run
multi-tier enterprise applications on a single piece of hardware by
managing network-connected virtual machines with the Teams feature of
Workstation 6.5. Teams let you create virtual network environments that
include client, server and database virtual machines.
With Workstation Teams, you can turn an entire multi-tier
environment on and off with a single click of the mouse button.
Workstation displays live thumbnails of all connected virtual machines,
enabling you to easily identify and switch between the virtual machines
associated with a team.


Clone your Virtual Machines to Accelerate Deployment


Installing
operating systems and applications can be time consuming. With clones,
you can make many copies of a virtual machine from a single
installation and configuration process. This capability makes it fast
and simple to distribute standardized computing environments to
employees and students, or to create a baseline configuration for
testing.


Take Your Virtual Machines With You


Workstation 6.5
includes the ability to create and deploy secure virtual machines
(called ACEs). Mobility is one of the primary benefits of this feature,
as it enables users to securely take their desktops with them on
portable media devices such as USB thumb drives.
