Virtualization firm VMWare is taking a stab at simplifying the way CIOs and IT administrators manage desktop clients through the release of VMWare View, a desktop virtualization software.

VMWare view hopes to answer the complexities surrounding managing multiple layers of desktop components—from the operating system, applications, hardware, and data—by simplifying its deployment to every thin client, the company said.

Through virtualization, IT managers can dynamically assemble and deliver desktops and applications to users, with a personalized view of individual desktops.

This setup promotes agility and improves the response time for queries, the vendor added. It allows managers to quickly provision desktops and applications to new users through a central management system.

And because the desktop virtualization system uses thin clients instead of full-blown PC systems, users can benefit from less footprint and energy usage as well. Security, meanwhile, is reinforced because all processes are handled within the company firewall. Coupled with SSL encryption, security features that come with VMWare View are proven to be robust.

All these features enable the company to not only save on space and headaches, but on costs as well, with over 50% savings from the usual desktop computing setups. – John Mark V. Tuazon
