Embracing Virtualization
Metlac Group produces coatings and inks used to protect and decorate metal packaging. The company’s 80,000 square-meter production site is located in Bosco Marengo, Italy, and features the latest in industrial automation technology. Metlac wanted to enhance employee productivity by improving user experiences and supporting mobility. With this in mind, the company embarked on an end-to-end virtualization initiative, deploying VMware Horizon View to deliver virtual desktops and applications, and VMware AirWatch for highly reliable mobile device management.
