VMware Workstation is a type-2 hypervisor software application that enables users to create and run virtual machines on their desktop or laptop computers. It allows multiple operating systems (OS) to run on a single physical machine, each with its own virtual hardware and system resources such as CPU, memory, storage, and network adapters. With VMware Workstation, users can create, configure, and manage multiple virtual machines, including different OSes, applications, and tools. It also provides features such as drag-and-drop functionality, seamless integration with the host operating system, and support for a wide range of hardware devices. VMware Workstation is a popular choice among developers, IT professionals, and power users who need to test software, run legacy applications, or simulate complex network environments. It is available for Windows and Linux operating systems and offers a 30-day free trial.
