VMware Workstation 11 arrives this month with Windows 10 Tech Preview readiness and cloud connectivity with VMware vCloud Air integration. vCloud Air is a public cloud platform built on vSphere and compatible with on-premises datacenters includes infrastructure, disaster recovery, and various applications as service offerings.
