VMWare Workstation 6 for Linux

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.

VMware Workstation 6 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.

With Workstation, you can take a “snapshot” that preserves the state of a virtual machine so you can return to it at any time. You can even use Workstation 6 to record and play video files that capture all changes to a virtual machine over a period of time.

Run multi-tier enterprise applications on a single piece of hardware by managing network-connected virtual machines with the Teams feature of Workstation 6. With Workstation Teams, you can turn an entire multi-tier environment on and off with a single click of the mouse button. With the cloning feature, you can make many copies of a virtual machine from a single installation and configuration process.
