Deploy Desktops
VMware View is easier to deploy and manage than competitive offerings—The Tolly Group
15+ steps to implement
5 steps to implement
Scalable for large enterprise deployments
Data stored centrally SSL encrypted connections Security Server Integration with SecurID for
two-factor authentication Single Sign On Support
Smart Card Proximity Card Biometric authentication
Client
Secure and Scalable support fordesktops and users
View Manager
Security Server
Check-out hosted VM to local physical computer
Extend security and encryption policies
“Heartbeat” back to the datacenter; administrators can deactivate if necessary
Check in the delta only
Enable offline access and mobility Offline desk top is currently experimental
Template
View Manager
vCenter
Provision Desktops
Automate provisioning from a template
On-demand provisioning Multiple types of desktops
Persistent, Non-persistent, Individual
Apply group policies
Banner Health was able to provision 2600 users in under 10
days.
Provision desktops in minutes
Image Updates• Manage thousands of desktops• Streamline desktop management
with View Composer– Quick provisioning– Simplify update, patch, and
upgrade activities while retaining user settings
– Guarantee updates are applied to every desktop
Simplify desktop image managementSingle Image Management

What’s Coming down the pipeView 4.5
•Windows 7 support
•A new administrative console in flex with delegated roles, a dashboard, troubleshooting capabilities, and an events database.
•Persona management (virtual profile management & ThinApp application provisioning) to deliver a unified way to manage user data, application access and provisioning
•View composer enhancements, including detach/attach/archive of the persistent disks (formerly named user data disks), tiered storage support and refresh/recompose/rebalance for non-persistent pools of desktop images
•Support for latest vSphere release
What’s Coming down the pipeView 4.5
•Local (aka Offline) Desktop, including provisioning and management of desktop images for employee owned IT (EOIT) for mobile users.
