VMware View™ is the industry’s leading desktop virtualization platform, and the only purpose-built solution for delivering desktops as a secure managed service. Built on the proven power of VMware vSphere™, only VMware View provides the platform, management tools and rich user experience that organizations need to reduce costs, streamline administration and increase end-user satisfaction.

VMware View: Built for Desktops

Enterprises today are facing a serious desktop dilemma. End users increasingly need the freedom and flexibility to access their applications and data from a multitude of devices and locations. Unfortunately, this need is driving up costs for IT organizations as they attempt to balance user needs with financial constraints, internal policies, and compliance requirements.

With VMware View, you can solve this dilemma by virtualizing desktop operating systems, applications and user data, decoupling these components from their underlying hardware. IT administrators can then centrally manage and provision these desktop components from the datacenter creating a rapidly deployable private “desktop cloud” infrastructure.

What are the Key Benefits of VMware View?

• Reduce Operational Costs by 50% - Centralizing your desktop infrastructure with VMware View makes it faster, easier and less costly for IT staff to provision, deploy, maintain and monitor desktop images across their entire life cycle. In fact, IDC Research reports that VMware View customers have been able to lower the total cost of ownership for their desktop infrastructures by 50 percent, saving more than $500 annually per user.1
  
  
• Simplify Desktop and Application Management - Using VMware View, you can manage tens of thousands of virtual desktops, applications and user data from a centralized administrative interface while simplifying key IT processes such as provisioning, configuration management, connection brokering, policy enforcement, and application assignment.
  
  You can also strengthen security and control by hosting virtual desktops centrally to prevent data leakage while leveraging vShield Endpoint for enabling centralized anti-virus, SSL for encryption and support for authentication with smart cards and RSA SecurID® tokens to enable secure access to virtual desktops.
  
  
• Deliver Rich User Experiences on Demand - VMware View is the only solution that lets you deliver rich user experiences for end-users across your organization on any device at any location—online or off the grid. High-performance PC-over-IP (PCoIP) technology lets users work with their virtual desktops via a LAN or WAN connection, while VMware View Client with Local Mode enables them to work offline and leverage local processing resources. The result is a seamless user experience that combines the best of VDI and client virtualization.
  
  
• Standardize on a Common Virtualization Platform - VMware View is built on the industry-leading VMware vSphere virtualization platform, providing unparalleled performance, scalability, reliability and availability for virtual desktop environments. It also means that for the first time, your organization can standardize on a single common platform for your entire IT infrastructure, from the desktop to the datacenter and even through to cloudbased services from external service providers.
