VMWARE’s virtualization of the desktop is here
http://www.internetnews.com/ent-news/article.php/3663296
EMC (Quote) subsidiary VMware, Inc. said it has upgraded its software for disseminating virtual machine desktops to PCs and laptops, a valuable tool for corporate employees who can’t conduct their work tied down to a desk.
VMware ACE 2 Enterprise Edition lets an IT administrator provision a Windows or Linux PC environment, including operating system, data and applications, into a virtual machine and deploy it to any client.
The product aims for the best of both worlds, granting employees access to their corporate software from any PC or laptop while allowing IT admins to maintain the control required by the company.
This is important for companies with employees that travel and need to access their machines from multiple locations without dragging around a laptop. ACE 2 also fits the bill for independent contractors who need to access the network of a company they are working for from their home computers.
I have to do on call as part of my current role, so I’ve been issued with a work laptop. It sits powered off for most of its life, and then at 3am or whenever I get called, it’s switched on ready for me to connect in and fix the problem. I’d love to be given a vmware session, and run everything from that, I’ve got a pc and the work laptop just takes up space in my spare room.
