Enterprises today are caught in a desktop dilemma. On one hand, IT organizations face pressures around cost, compliance, manageability and security. This is aggravated by the existing PCcentric computing paradigm which is expensive to manage and restricts IT agility to respond to changing business dynamics. On the other hand, end-users increasingly require the freedom and flexibility to access their applications and data from more devices and locations. This desktop dilemma – which pits end user freedom against the need for IT control – can drive up costs, impact security, and overwhelm IT resources. To break free from this dilemma, organizations are looking for an agile and adaptive approach to computing that enables IT to balance the needs of the enterprise with the needs of end users for a flexible, high performance computer experience.

Desktop virtualization with VMware View allows organizations to do more with less and adopt a truly user-centric and modern approach to computing. By decoupling the applications, data and operating system from the end point, and by moving these components into the datacenter where they can be centrally managed, desktop and application virtualization offer IT a more streamlined, secure way to manage users and provide agile desktop services that can be accessed on-demand.

VMware View is the end-to-end solution that simplifies IT management, increases security and control of end-users while decreasing costs by centrally delivering desktop services from your cloud. VMware View enables highly available, scalable, secure and reliable desktop services unmatched by physical PCs. Delivering the high fidelity performance and user experience across locations, View with PCoIP provides users with a rich, personalized desktop for access to data, applications, unified communications and 3D graphics.
