VMware vSphere Client
Overview:
The vSphere Client is used to administer the virtual environment within the VMware world. This is a Windows-only app and as such needs a native or emulated Windows environment to run in.
Note! The VMware vSphere Client application falls under the Unsupported Application category and listed with only Bronze compatibility. Therefore, the installation process is manual with additional workarounds needed.
