VMware View 4 Desktop Virtualization
VMware announced today (11/9/2009) the new version of VMware View, formerly Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). Besides full support for running virtual desktops on the new vSphere platform, VMware view brings with it rich media that other VDI makers cannot deliver using the Remote Desktop Protocol.
VMware has partnered with Terradici systems to integrate the PC over IP protocol (PCoIP) which overcomes obstacles faced in many desktop deployments where streaming media and audio are not delivered in step from the Virtual Machine to the desktop.With PC over IP, your end users will have a solid, rich media experience.
Common reasons for using Virtual Desktops include:
1. Extending the life of existing desktops by moving the processing and memory resources of the desktop to server class hardware
2. Additional security features by having the Operating System and all of its files residing in a central location, rather than on individual desktops
3. Reduce costs by deploying workstations from a single location
