VMware View(TM) 4 Partner Ecosystem Rallies Behind PC-over-IP Display Protocol
(Market Wire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) PALO ALTO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/09/09 --
VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW), the global leader
in virtualization solutions from the desktop through the datacenter and to
the cloud, today announced broad ecosystem support of the Teradici
PC-over-IP® (PCoIP®) protocol delivered in VMware View(TM) 4, also
announced today (see news release, "VMware Enables Rapid Adoption of
Desktop Virtualization by Driving New Quality, Cost and Scalability
Standards with VMware View(TM) 4").
VMware View 4 is the industry's only purpose-built desktop virtualization
solution, setting a new quality, cost and scale standard while eliminating
critical barriers that have traditionally restricted customer adoption. The
VMware software implementation of the patented PCoIP protocol is a key
feature of VMware View 4, raising the bar for delivering a rich,
high-quality desktop experience to any user -- from the basic task worker
to the most demanding power user -- regardless of location, addressing more
use cases than ever before. With support for native VMware View software
clients and PCoIP-enabled hardware from a variety of ecosystem partners,
VMware View with PCoIP is specifically designed to provide customers the
flexibility to deploy end-to-end solutions with a variety of end point
options to meet the most diverse range of end user and business needs.
Unlike other legacy application delivery solutions, the robust PCoIP
protocol in VMware View 4 is purpose-built for virtual desktop delivery
over any network. The flexible access model enables users to work with a
wide range of applications, view rich media content, choose any number of
monitor configurations and seamlessly access locally attached peripheral
devices such as printers, scanners and mass storage with a PC-like
experience regardless of location or task. The protocol dynamically detects
and adapts to the end user's network connection, automatically analyzing
and optimizing to compensate for changes in latency and bandwidth to help
ensure the best user experience for the scenario.
"VMware prides itself on partnering with a robust ecosystem so that
together we can enable the best desktop solutions based on our diverse
customer needs," said Jocelyn Goldfein, vice president and general manager,
Desktop Business Unit, VMware. "With VMware View(TM) 4, PC-over-IP, and
strong support from the ecosystem, we're expanding the reach of our
solutions and addressing more use cases than ever before while delivering
an optimal experience to end users."
