Reading Time: 4 minutesI’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: 2 minutesLiquidware Labs has recently released the ProfileUnity FlexApp™ version 5.5: this new version includes several big updates for ProfileUnity such as FlexApp Department Installed Applications, a fresh new Admin Interface, automated setup with Microsoft Active Directory, and numerous other significant new features:

Unfortunately, as written in the post, certain certifications (that pay more) are not represented due to their exclusive nature. These include CCIE: Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert and VCDX: VMware Certified Design Expert, and mainly all the Top IT Certifications.

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 minutesIn 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 minutesIn 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 minutesActually 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 card (virtual hardware 8 is required).
