VMware supports the OVF standard on the following platforms:

  • The OVF Tool is useful with many VMware products, including Workstation, Player, VMware Fusion, ESXi hosts, vCenter Server, and vCloud Director.
  • OVF version 0.9 and 1.0 are supported for import and export by VMware products.
  • VMware Studio can generate OVF packages.

OVF support is built into the vSphere Client that installs from and is compatible with vCenter Server.
