VMware Workstation 11.1.0 adds support for VMware vCloud Air Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand.

- Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand provides on-demand resources with granular metering and usage-based billing.
- Resources are pool-based, allowing deployment of virtual machines with customized configurations.
- Costs are billed monthly only for the aggregate amount of resources consumed across all of your virtual machines.
- On-demand resources complement the subscription services for vCloud Air.
