Introduction to VMware View 1
With VMware View, IT departments can run virtual desktops in the datacenter and deliver desktops to
employees as a managed service. End users gain a familiar, personalized environment that they can access
from any number of devices anywhere throughout the enterprise or from home. Administrators gain
centralized control, efficiency, and security by having desktop data in the datacenter.

Advantages of Using VMware View
When you manage enterprise desktops with VMware View, the benefits include increased reliability, security,
hardware independence, and convenience.
Reliability and Security
Virtual desktops can be centralized by integrating with VMware vSphere and virtualizing server, storage, and
networking resources. Placing desktop operating systems and applications on a server in the datacenter
provides the following advantages:
n
Access to data can easily be restricted. Sensitive data can be prevented from being copied onto a remote
employee's home computer.
n
Data backups can be scheduled without considering when end users' systems might be turned off.
n
Virtual desktops that are hosted in a datacenter experience little or no downtime. Virtual machines can
reside on high-availability clusters of VMware servers.
Virtual desktops can also connect to back-end physical systems and Windows Terminal Services servers.
Convenience
The unified management console is built for scalability on Adobe Flex, so that even the largest View
deployments can be efficiently managed from a single View Manager interface. Wizards and dashboards
enhance the workflow and facilitate drilling down to see details or change settings. Figure 1-1 provides an
example of the browser-based user interface for View Administrator.
