On Big Sur, it will run VMs, Containers, and Kubernetes clusters by using Apple’s APIs.įusion 12 Player and Fusion 12 Pro also now support eGPU devices. On Catalina, it runs the same way it always has: with our kernel extensions. No longer needing kernel extensions to run Fusion on Mac, and making it more secure and ready for the future of macOS.Ībout this, VMware also mentions that Fusion 12 will fully support macOS Catalina at launch, and is ready to support macOS Big Sur once it’s made generally available.

This feature allows for USB 3.1 hardware devices to be passed into virtual machines with full driver support. In these releases, VMware also added support for USB 3.1 virtual devices. The feature makes Fusion and Workstation more secure out-of-the-box without sacrificing performance or quality, according to VMware. The SBR runs the virtual graphics engine in a separate thread with reduced privilege.

VMware said this capability enables users to allocate up to 8GB of vRAM to your 3D accelerated guest to maximize gaming and 3D app performance.įusion and Workstation, now feature a new security enhancement: Sandbox Renderer (SBR). They also provide workload mobility and compatibility between the Desktops and Data Center virtual infrastructure.įusion and Workstation now both support running games and apps with Direct3D version 11, otherwise known as ‘DirectX 11’, or OpenGL 4.1.

These features will ship with Workstation Player as well as Workstation Pro, making it accessible to everyone.īoth products have been updated to support connections to vSphere 7 through ESXi and vCenter for remote VM operation and configuration. Currently available in Fusion, vctl allows users to push, pull, build and run OCI container images, and now also includes the ability to deploy kind Kubernetes clusters. The key focus of these two releases is containers support, vSphere 7 Compatibility, DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.1, USB 3.1 Support, and more! Workstation and Fusion are VMware’s solutions that allow you to run, from your OS, multiple OSs to build, test, or demo software and platforms.Ĭritical Features for Workstation and FusionĪs a critical and significant feature, VMware brings Kubernetes and Containers to Workstation for Windows with the CLI vctl. Both products offer new features and capabilities for IT Admins, Developers, and everyone else. VMware Workstation 16 and Fusion 12 have been announced this week.
