Requirements VMware View to the infrastructure of the company:
. The number of desktops in the organization or unit, which implements VMware View, must be at least 50-100. The more - the better. Economic effect solution makes it with a large number of virtual desktops.
. The infrastructure of the company must be present and run Microsoft Active Directory. VMware View manages the rights of users is based on the AD (although in principle possible, and integration, such as Novell eDirectory).
. Option deployment solutions VMware View - a few, so choosing the correct model of infrastructure deployment of virtual PC is a key factor that determines how much investment will be done, how much flexibility will be resolved, and how quickly and safely, users will receive their virtual PCs.

What makes the use of virtual desktop infrastructure VMware View for the organization:
. Virtual PC are stored on a shared storage system, located in a secure data center. Physical access to the data of employees - is limited.
. Centralized deployment of virtual machines allows them to simplify maintenance and updating. Rather than manage each computer separately, you can update and maintain their complex at the level of virtual infrastructure.
. You can access your PC from anywhere with Internet. When useful? Imagine a situation where your employees are mobile and work with corporate laptops. Lost laptop - lost data, which can get all those who use them to harm us. With the use of VMware View, laptops mobile workers become merely a "thin clients for virtual desktops in the data center.
. Virtual PC saves space occupied in the storage system and maintain one set of operations, hundreds of virtual desktops. It creates a basic disk image with the necessary applications installed, then VMware View Composer creates for each desktop drive differences (Technology Copy On Write), which exist only at the time of existence of virtual desktops. Thus, altering the basic disk, we make a change and all razvertyvaemye from the desktops.
. Obtaining virtual desktops ?On Demand?. The specificity of virtual machines allows you within minutes to deploy a new virtual PC on demand from a template, without having to install the OS and applications.

How is VMware View:
. Corporate users with their own virtual PC.
. Employees in remote offices or in fields. Their data are securely protected in the main data center company.
. Users with limited personalization of their workstations. Here are just the basic approach of virtual PC.
. Mobile workers working in potentially dangerous in terms of loss or theft of information field.
