Lower Costs, Enhance Security & Improve Manageability Both Online & Offline
Across the globe customers who have standardized on VMware for server virtualization can now bring the benefits of virtualization to the desktop. IT administrators can deploy virtual machines on every PC and deliver a complete desktop experience that is easy to manage, fast to deploy, less costly to maintain, always-current and radically more secure.
- Protect your desktops from disruption
- Keep your desktops always current
- Increase productivity online and offline
Rapidly provision new desktops anywhere, flexibly and efficiently, when you deploy virtual desktops in a virtual machine, managed from the datacenter. Traditional distributed desktop computing—where everyone in a company has her or his own PC or laptop loaded with applications and data—is costly to own, complex and time-consuming to manage, and can be impossible to secure.
Innovations in Technology
Technology advances previewed at VMworld Europe 2008:
Scalable Virtual Image technology delivers lower operational costs through simple and scalable desktop image management and reduces storage requirements up to 90 percent for virtual desktop infrastructure environments. Quickly deploy, update, and publish desktop images to thousands of virtual machines.
Offline Virtual Desktop Infrastructure previews how a single virtual desktop infrastructure platform may be able to support all enterprise PCs in the future. Let end users "check out" personalized virtual desktops running on VMware virtual desktop infrastructure to a notebook computer for use offline and then "check back in" to the same desktop running in their virtual desktop infrastructure environment.
VMware will also unveil the beta version of its forthcoming application virtualization product, code-named “North Star,” based on technology acquired from Thinstall.
VMware Application Virtualization simplifies application deployment and management by reducing the time and effort to test, package, install, and update applications in physical and virtual desktop environments. Agentless application virtualization requires no pre-installed software on physical or virtual PCs and no new deployment infrastructure or management tools.
