If not, you might be missing out on one of Workstation’s best features.
Why? Teams allows you to quickly simulate real-world multi-tier environments.
This is very useful for individuals who develop, build, test, support or demo
multi-tier applications.
For example, let us assume that you want to run a multi-tier application
based on MySQL, Apache Tomcat and different browsers running on different
operating systems. Traditionally you would need multiple physical machines to
set up such a configuration, but with VMware Workstation Teams, you can quickly
and easily accomplish this on a single PC.
Workstation’s “New Team Wizard” (File->New->Team) will guide you
through the process of selecting the VMs, setting up the LAN segments and
simulating real-world network performance by controlling network bandwidth and
packet loss rates on any network segment that connects two virtual machines in a
team.
Try it out today and post your comments. If there is reader
interest in the comments, I will create a quick video of how to create a Team in
Workstation.
