While not an official Broadcom release, VMware Workstation Pro 17 can be made portable using virtualization wrappers to create zero-footprint environments on USB drives for virtual machines. This setup provides mobility for IT labs, utilizing version 17's vTPM for Windows 11 and enhanced graphics while requiring high-speed external storage and administrative rights on host machines.
