Built on VMware vSphere, the industry's leading virtualization platform, VMware View 4 is a complete desktop virtualization solution featuring a rich, flexible desktop user experience while delivering dramatic efficiency, security, performance, scalability and management improvements - all while reducing desktop total cost of ownership by as much as 50 percent.

Desktop virtualization has long remained a top IT goal because of the added security, manageability and compliance capabilities delivered. Adoption, however, has been limited due to high acquisition costs, insufficient user experience, scalability issues and limitations on the use cases that could benefit from virtualized desktops. With VMware View 4, VMware and its ecosystem of partners  eliminate these barriers, enabling broader, mainstream enterprise adoption of desktop virtualization.

VMware View  4 provides a simplified desktop provisioning and management with flexible on-demand provisioning of thousands of desktops and applications instantaneously and the ability to manage up to tens of thousands of desktops from a single console. It also provides improved security and compliance through centralized management of security policies permissions and updates.

"In addressing the main barriers to broad desktop virtualization adoption - acquisition costs, user experience and scalability - VMware, along with its broad ecosystem of partners is working to pave the way for enterprises to more easily transform their desktops into a managed service with significantly improved security, management, availability and compliance at a reduced total cost of ownership," said IDC industry analyst Mike Rose. "IDC expects that because of these and other advances, organizations will continue to increase the size of virtual desktop environments both in terms of users and use cases."
