Being able to build on top of what we’ve learned with our still-evolving Fling has been crucial, and thankfully we have some overlap in the teams’ history, meaning folks have exactly the right experience needed for this project.

So when we learned about the M1 devices, we knew we had the in-house expertise on both the Arm team, and also on the Fusion bench, to set in motion a plan to re-invent our Mac desktop hypervisor to support this incredible new platform. Delivering ESXi for Arm has been a multi-year effort, and yet it’s still not quite a Product like ESXi on x86 currently is.

Now, we’re no stranger to Arm CPUs, having shipped what is currently a something we call a Fling with ESXi Arm Edition. This is super important to us and to our customers, particularly as more and more operational workflows become automated. Developers and Operations teams can move VMs and templates between data centers, desktops, and clouds with ease. A VMware VM behaves pretty much the same regardless of what product it’s running on. One of the benefits our users appreciate of having older “enterprise-grade” siblings with Workstation on the desktop and ESXi in the data center is that it gives organizations a consistent operating model.

As a side project, this small group were able to essentially rebuild Workstation to run on the Mac using Apple’s UI, thus creating the foundation of what we now know as VMware Fusion With the 2006 transition, a tiny (but incredible!) team of engineers at VMware saw an opportunity.
