VMware Public Beta Programs

  • VMware Workstation Technology Preview 2012
    The VMware Workstation Team is excited to release the VMware Workstation Technology Preview - 2012.  With the recent availability of Windows 8 Consumer Preview, Windows Server 8 Beta, and Ubuntu 12.04 Beta (Precise Pangolin) we believe it is the perfect time to get your feedback on new capabilities that may appear in future releases of VMware Workstation.
  • VMware Fusion Technology Preview 2012
    The VMware Fusion Team is excited to publically release the VMware Fusion Technology Preview - 2012.   This Technology Preview does not contain major new features, but it does include significant changes to our core virtualization technology.  With the recent releases of the Windows 8 Consumer Preview and the OSX Mountain Lion Developer Preview we believe it is the ideal time to release our latest platform so that Fusion users have the best virtual environment to try these new operating systems.
  • My VMware Beta
    My  VMware – a new integrated, self-service, account-based site – will  transform your product license and support experience by simplifying and  streamlining your organization's interactions with us. The My VMware Beta sandbox is a temporary environment which provides an opportunity  for you to interact with, explore, and experience the new My VMware site.
  • VMware vCenter™ Admin Portal Technology Preview
    To get started, please take a look at the VirtualCenter Administrator Portal (VCAP) Overview document as well as the Installation Guide that spells out the compatibility requirements for the release.
  • VMware vCenter™ Server 2.5 on Linux: Technology Preview
    Your involvement in this early testing is an important part of the release process, and your timely and thorough feedback is critical to the success of the program and to the release.

    With VMware vCenter Mobile Access, you can monitor and manage VMware Infrastructure from your mobile phone.
