Reading Time: 4 minutes 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.
Reading Time: 3 minutes VMware Partner Exchange is a big event, like VMworld, but dedicated to the VMware partners (like the international Microsoft WPC or other similar events). This year will be held at Las Vegas from 25 to 28 February.
Reading Time: 5 minutes 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 bandwidth constraints and latency issues. The PCoIP display protocol provided by VMware adapts to varying latency and bandwidth conditions, but some optimization may be needed.
Reading Time: 3 minutes 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 have to consider in your design and mainly are described in the View Architecture Planning guide.
Reading Time: 3 minutes 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 complicated. First you must run Windows 8 on vSphere (and this is really simple with vSphere 5.1 where both Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 are supported as a guests). Just remember to enable the 3D support in the video […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes 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 and requirements are just the same as a Windows 7 Client (1 GB of RAM and a x86-based processor with SSE2 extensions, with a 800MHz or higher processor speed). Also features are exactly the same of Windows 7 Client, including […]
Reading Time: < 1 minute 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:
