Accessing VMware Workstation from tablets and mobile devices

Unlike VMware ESXi, there is no application for either iPad, Android, or Windows to access VMware Workstation remote machines in an easy way remotely. This doesn't mean that you're without any options though; there are VNC clients for tablets, and there's also a TeamViewer client that allows you to access a VMware Workstation virtual machine or host remotely. So accessing a VMware Workstation virtual machine from a tablet is not much different from accessing a virtual machine from a regular computer. Just install the VNC client or TeamViewer client and follow the procedures described earlier in this chapter.
