VMware View & Automation & Managemt

It's about balancing user and IT requirements like manageability and flexibility.
In terms of sales op'y for every dollar license there is 4$ hardware and 6$ services.
New in View 3:
- composer to optimize storage; based on linked clone technology
- offline desktop (experimental)
- thin app for app distribution




Not a good solution for smaller customer because of the upfront cost. Ideal is a customer who has software assurance. The savings are in management cost so lowering TCO, which is different from typical server consolidation projects.

There is a special Desktop Compentency program even.

The savings




Labmanager is also ideal as a training and demo tool because is invredibly easy and fast to deploy machines on the fly from a library of machines.
