What’s New in VMware Workstation 11.1.0

VMware Workstation 11.1.0 adds support for VMware vCloud Air Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand. Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand is a secure, pay-as-you-go, cloud computing service that is offered VMware which gives IT organizations a VMware compatible platform to create virtual machines, dynamically scale virtual machines and resources up or down, and pay for resources allocated.

  • 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.
