This session will include a product demonstration of VMware View 4.5

VMware View is the only purpose-built solution for transforming application and desktop management. Head and shoulders above the competition, it enables unprecedented flexibility for users at half the cost and one-third the complexity of other solutions. VMware View lets enterprise IT manage operating systems, applications, and user data independently of each other. In addition to providing flexibility and freedom for end users, VMware View is simpler and less costly to manage—and it increases IT control.

End-user Experience: Your customers can improve business agility and support user flexibility while taking advantage of virtualized desktops. As the first desktop virtualization solution to support offline mobility, VMware View allows end users to access their desktops in the office, from home, or while traveling. VMware View also accommodates changing business needs, such as adding new desktop users or groups of users, while providing a consistent experience to every user across devices and locations.

Management and Security: Your customers can streamline desktop management and improve security using VMware View. Your prospects can manage desktops, applications, and end-user data centrally in the datacenter. They also can provision desktops instantly to new users, departments, or offices. Using linked clone technology, it’s easy to update and maintain thousands of desktops with one master image. And since all data is maintained within the datacenter, VMware View minimizes risk and data loss.

 - VMware View Basics
 - View 4.5 - What's new?
