Post Description

Simplify desktop management by breaking the bond between
your desktop OS, desktop applications and desktop hardware.
With VMware View you can manage each independently,
allowing you to effectively update, provision and control 
thousands of virtual desktops from a single console in
minutes rather than days.

View is founded on the VMware Virtualization Platform, the 
most widely deployed and trusted virtualization platform in
the world.

* Reduce IT infrastructure and operating costs by more than 
50 percent.
* Improve security by moving data from end user devices to 
your datacenter.
* Provide the best end-user experience across any desktop
device and network.

This release includes:

* VMware View Client: This is the 32-bit View Manager
Client installer for any end point device running on
Windows XP or Vista. This is how the end user will connect
to their virtual desktop.
* VMware View Client with Offline Desktop: This is the
extended View Manager Client installer that includes the
software needed to test the experimental offline VDI
feature.
* VMware View Agent: This is the View Manager Agent
installer for Windows XP or Vista virtual desktops. This
agent also serves two other purposes as well, it can be
installed on a physical PC to allow for remote connectivity
and also on terminal servers which will allow the pool
creation and load balancing of your terminal server farm.
* VMware View Composer: This is the storage optimization
component which enabled the use of linked clones. This must
be installed on the VirtualCenter server.
* VMware View Connection Server: This is the connection
broker which will handle brokering the desktop sessions.
This installer also houses the replica and security server
installation options for scalability and DMZ deployments.
