The old team functions have been removed in version 8 and replaced with a more consistent configuration for groups of VMs. Read the Workstation user manual for information.
Although at first it might appear that the teams feature has been removed, you can add team attributes to any virtual machine in this version of Workstation.
The team structure has been converted to a simple folder of virtual machines.
A new advanced settings dialog box has been added for network adapters to let you throttle the bandwidth of incoming and outgoing transmissions and simulate packet loss.
You can perform power operations on several virtual machines at the same time by selecting virtual machines on the folder tab and pressing the power button on the toolbar. If all of the virtual machines in a folder are in the same power state, you can select the folder to perform a power operation on all of the virtual machines in the folder.
You use a global Workstation preference to configure the delay between powering on virtual machines.
To implement LAN segments, you can use traditional VMnets or put all of the virtual machines that you want to communicate on the same custom VMnet
