VMware View Components

YoucanuseVMwareViewwithVMwarevCenterServertocreatedesktopsfromvirtualmachinesthatare

runningonVMware®ESX™serversanddeploythesedesktopstoendusers.Inaddition,VMwareViewuses

yourexistingActiveDirectoryinfrastructureforuserauthenticationandmanagement.

Afteryoucreateadesktop,authorizedenduserscanuseWeb‐basedorlocallyinstalledclientsoftwareto
