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 […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteOne 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:

Reading Time: < 1 minuteDuring 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 move from physical to virtual (with a real good live example from Vittorio Viarengo). The next part was the Horizon Suite that can handle the access to all desktops, applications, data of you EUC. Included the Horizon Mobile that could […]
