Maintain Software License Compliance Using Current Tools and Processes
Streamline overall desktop management and keep license proliferation in check. VMware desktop virtualization solutions let you plan operating system and application migrations across native and virtual infrastructures using the same control, inventory and asset systems. You can also enforce license compliance through the same policy-based usage mechanisms—like Active Directory and LDAP. The solution seamlessly plugs into existing discovery and asset management systems, so you can use standard discovery and audit tools to manage and track the distribution of applications over both physical and virtual systems.
VMware virtual desktop solutions let you:
- Provision assets and access privileges based on user roles, not machines.
- Audit and control license access using existing procedures and controls.
- Easily demonstrate separation of duties.
Cut Costs and Maintenance with User-based Provisioning
Let users provision their own software over a physical or virtual infrastructure and reduce application license count costs. In a virtualized infrastructure, users can access the same application, rather than multiple licenses of the application, from multiple locations. The application resides in the datacenter, on an image of the user’s desktop. That means the user can run the application from anywhere—at work, at home, or on the road—without installing multiple licenses. VMware desktop solutions are device-agnostic. This keeps license count low, while reducing management costs and simplifying audits.
