Running VMs over the network is considerably slower and not ideal.īy setting up Workstation as a server, you can access the same virtual machine from different computers and use the processing power of the server to run the VM.
A clone will take up double the space and the clones will not be synced. However, neither of those two options are necessarily ideal, especially if you have one high-end machine that you are using to run all your VMs.
This is great because if you have multiple copies of VMware on different computers, you either had to clone your VM or you had to store your VMs in a central location like on a NAS. There’s a cool feature in VMware Workstation that basically lets you share your VM from one machine so that you can access it from any other machine remotely.
