Starting from the 5.2 version, VMware View is now called VMware Horizon View (according with the new position in the VMware Horizon Suite). But the upgrade path (of the View part) is still quite similar with previous version (see also VMware View 5.1.2 update or VMware View 5.1 upgrade path) and is well described in [...]

I’ve already write a post with the comparison between PCoIP and RDP (PCoIP vs. RDP) and some considerations on how use each protocol in a VMware View infrastructure. Other protocols, like HP RGS (Remote Graphics Software) has been removed (from View) years ago, and protocols from other solutions (like, for example, SPICE) are not included. [...]

I’ve already describe the upgrade path to VMware View 5.1, but things change and there are additional patches for this View version (that is currently in version 5.1.2). Of course also HCL may change (with more support) and, for example, recent version of View 5.1 are fully compatible with recent version of vSphere 5.1.
In a View environment the PCoIP is usually the right choice and on a LAN works really well (see also the previous post about PCoIP and RDP differences). But on a wide-area networks (WANs)you have to consider some aspects to have a reasonable reactivity or to maximize the number of remote clients: you must consider [...]
In a VMware View environment usually PCoIP protocol is preferred to the RDP one due to several reasons. I don’t want to spend too much time about the latency, throughput, reactivity, user experience different between those two protocols… in most cases PCoIP is better compared to RDP. But PCoIP protocol has some limits that your [...]
Actually Windows 8 is not (officiall) supported with VMware View, at least not as a virtual desktop. About the View Client, starting with the 5.2 version it support also Windows 8 as a client (for more information see the previous post). But in order to use Windows 8 as a virtual desktop it is more [...]
Actually Windows 8 is not (officially) supported with VMware View, at least not as a virtual desktop. About the View Client, starting with the 5.2 version it support also Windows 8 as a client (see the official guide). Both the 32 and 64 versions (are supported: Windows 8 Professional and Windows 8 Enterprise) works fine [...]
One year ago, I’ve described how to disable the certificate warning in the Windows View Client 5.0, by using GPO or a direct change in the local registry (on the client). Now, with the new version 5.1 of the View Client there is a new way client side:
VMware vSphere 5.1 There is a good post with a complete reference for all vSphere products: Configuring CA signed certificates for VMware vCenter Server 5.0.x – http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2015421 Configuring CA signed SSL certificates for vSphere Update Manager in vCenter 5.1 – http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2037581 Creating certificate requests and certificates for the vCenter 5.1 components – http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2037432 Configuring CA [...]
During the keynote of the second day, Steve Herrold have present the new End User Computing (EUC) solutions from VMware. Starting from the new View and Mirage approach where you can handle both physical and virtual desktop and you really plan both Windows OS migrations (from XP to 7 for example), but also handle the [...]
In the previous posts we have discuss about the architecture and the deployment of NexentaVSA for View. Has you have probably notice the configuration of NexentaStor VSA is really simple: just an OVF deploy, a test to verify that all is fine and a convert to template to be used during virtual desktop pool deployment.
