End-to-end Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Functionality
- Central administration of desktops from any location: Manage virtual desktops in a data center where you can more easily perform upgrades, patches and desktop maintenance.
- Scalable management: Store and manage thousands of virtual desktops on hundreds of physical servers from a single management console.
- Streamlined provisioning: Deploy new desktops in minutes instead of days or weeks using automatic desktop provisioning.
- Desktop isolation: Give each end user an isolated virtual desktop and help to eliminate the availability and performance problems associated with shared application technologies.
Simplified Desktop Management & Secure Provisioning with VMware VDM
- Desktop management: Deploy VMware Virtual Desktop Manager (VDM) to manage connections between remote users and centralized virtual desktops.
- Flexible provisioning: Deploy individual desktops for each user or create persistent and non-persistent desktop pools.
- Strong network security: Protect sensitive corporate information, using SSL tunneling to ensure that all connections are completely encrypted.
- Complete integration with Microsoft Active Directory: Control access to centralized desktops using your existing directory services infrastructure.
- Failure redundancy: Enable a high level of fault tolerance for your virtual desktop infrastructure with robust technology for connection redundancy and reliability.
Support for strong authentication: RSA, The Security Division of EMC, has certified that Virtual Desktop Manager 2 is interoperable with RSA SecurID® and provides the added security of two-factor authentication for tightened access control.
Familiar End-user Experience
- Application compatibility: Run off-the-shelf, legacy or custom applications with no modifications.
- No end-user training required: Deliver complete, unmodified desktop environments to end users.
- Flexibility: Provide end users with their own desktop that they can customize to suit their needs and access from anywhere, or provision desktops that are more restricted and revert to a known consistent state upon log-off.
- Access to local devices: Allow users to access local printers, USB devices and other peripherals.
Seamless Integration with VMware Infrastructure 3
- Unified management of servers and desktops: Use a common management interface for administration of desktops and servers throughout your virtual infrastructure.
- Consolidated backup: Provide centralized backup for virtual desktops while helping to eliminate backup traffic from your network to improve performance.
- Automated failover and recovery: Make it easier to keep desktops running even when server hardware goes down, and recover quickly from natural disasters and unplanned outages.
- Dynamic load balancing: Help balance desktop computing resources automatically as user needs and application loads change over time.
