The online VMware Compatibility Guide replaces the former compatibility guides for systems, I/O devices, operating systems, and storage arrays for ESX 3.0 and greater versions, as well as VMware View Client. For compatibility guides of other VMware products or earlier ESX releases and VMware View Client, please use the "Other Documents" tab.

VMware View Manager (formally known as VMware Virtual Desktop Manager) is tested for compatibility with major client device manufacturers. VMware will support a variety of thin client devices with standard options as they come to market.
Product Type Definitions:
Hardware - This is a hardware-based thin client device meeting the minimum requirements of the thin client certification program.
Software - This is a software-based thin client image used to re-purpose your existing x86 PCs into thin clients and meets the minimum requirements of the thin client certification program.
Client Type Definitions:
VMware - This client type is a device which utilizes the VMware View client software and includes functionality as described in the Administration Guide for VMware View Manager: http://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/view_pubs.html
Vendor - This client type is a device developed by specific vendors. This client meets the minimum requirements VMware has set for certification, however specific features of these clients may vary between different vendors and devices.
Certified and Compatible Thin Clients:
Certified - A thin client device listed against a particular VMware View release in the Certified For column has been tested by the thin client manufacturer against that specific VMware View release and includes a minimum set of features supported in that VMware View version.
Compatible - A thin client device certified against a specific VMware View release is compatible with previous and subsequent VMware View releases according to the compatibility guarantees published as part of that specific VMware View release (typically two major releases in both directions). However, a compatible thin client may not include all of the features of the newer VMware View release. Please refer to your VMware View Client documentation to determine which features are included.
