More Reasons at a Glance

Works the Way You Do
Workstation’s user interface has been designed for a connected workspace with clear menus, live thumbnails and a robust virtual machine library. The virtual machine library makes it easy to view your local and remote virtual machines. Use search to quickly find the virtual machines that you need whether they are running on your local PC, vSphere or another instance of Workstation on the network.

Run Multi-tiered Applications on a Single PC
Manage multiple, network-connected virtual machines simply by putting them in the same Folder. Folders in the Virtual Machine Library make it easy to start and run complex multi-tier enterprise applications on a single PC with just a click of the mouse.

Snapshots and Clones: The Ultimate Time Saver
Snapshots preserve the state of a virtual machine so you can return to it at any time. Snapshots are useful when you need to quickly revert your virtual machine to a prior system state to install a new build of an application, “uninstall” a patch or eliminate malware.

Installing operating systems and applications can be time consuming. With clones, you can make many copies of a virtual machine from the baseline installation and configuration. This makes it fast and easy to maintain standardized computing environments for employees and students or to create a baseline configuration for testing. Linked clones enable you to accomplish the same thing while using a fraction of the disk space.

Printing that Just Works
Your PC printers are automatically accessible to your Windows and Linux VMs—no configuration or drivers required. Your PC’s default printer even shows up as the default in your VM too.

The PC Time Machine
Buggy applications, hardware failures, viruses and other malware do not give you fair warning to take a manual snapshot. AutoProtect automatically takes snapshots at set intervals, protecting you from unexpected bumps in the road, making it easy to go back in time to when things were good.

Recycle Old Hardware
Quickly and easily convert all those Microsoft Windows and Linux-based physical PCs sitting under or around your desk into Workstation virtual machines. Get all the benefits of virtualization while freeing up desk space and hardware.

Protect from Prying Eyes
Protect your virtual machines from prying eyes with 256-bit AES encryption.
