Software developers rely on VMware Workstation’s integration with Visual Studio, Eclipse, and SpringSource Tools Suite to streamline the development and testing of their applications in multiple environments.

Quality assurance teams use Workstation to efficiently and economically test applications on a complex matrix of operating systems, application platforms, and browsers—all while doing away with repetitive configuration tasks.

Systems engineers and other technical sales professionals love Workstation because it gives them the power to demonstrate complex multi-tier applications with ease. Workstation can simulate an entire virtual network environment—including clients, servers and database virtual machines—all on a single PC.

Instructors use VMware Workstation to create virtual machines for students that contain all the lessons, applications and tools required for the course. At the end of each class, VMware Workstation can automatically revert the virtual machines back to their original state, making the classroom ready for the next set of students.

IT professionals that have the technical capabilities to deploy VMware products and those that are just learning use VMware Workstation to effectively demo VMware vSphere on a single PC in a repeatable, reliable manner. Configure and test virtual machine deployments before deploying them to test or production. Build a personal lab for experimenting with multiple operating systems, applications, and for preparing for VMware Certification tests (i.e. VCP).
