VMware View Composer – Single Image Management
Manage 100s or 1,000s of desktops from a single image. View Composer rapidly creates desktop images that share virtual disks with a parent image to conserve disk space, reduce storage needs and radically streamline updates and patch management.
THINAPP
VMware ThinApp™– Eliminate Application Conflicts
VMwareThinApp application virtualization software decouples applications from operating systems by encapsulating them into an isolated file. Remove application conflicts on the desktop and manage applications from a single central location—updating or patching all end users at once.
View Manager provides desktop brokering, authentication, security and a single console to quickly provision, manage and deploy all virtual desktops. Use View Manager to connect users to virtual desktops on VMware vSphere or other resources such as terminal servers, blade PCs or even remote physical PCs.

VMware View with PCoIP provides a superior total desktop experience to all users across any type of network, no matter where users are located. Confidential data and information is removed from the end-point device, and access is tightly controlled and managed. Strong network encryption protects data in transit, and integration with RSA SecurIDenablestwo-factorauthentication.Thesefeaturescanhelp reduce the risk of data leakage or malicious code intrusion and simplify regulatory compliance.
Desktop Business Continuity and Disaster RecoveryVMware View extends the reliability, automated backup, data protection and disaster recovery abilities traditionally reserved for server applications to the desktop. Remotely managing your virtual desktops using VMware View eliminates the need for on-site desktop management and maintenance. Bring the power of VMware vSphere Enterprise Plus to your desktops and standardize on a single platform to manage your desktops through the datacenter to the cloud.
Remote or Branch Offices and Secure Remote AccessDeliverhighperformancevirtualdesktopsfromcentralizeddatacenters or centralized servers onsite, to remote or branch offices such as retail stores, bank branches and physicians’ offices and even offshore facilities. No need to staff remote locations with IT resources, since desktop management and provisioning are performed centrally, and users benefit from a high-performance personalized desktop environment even over a high-latency, low-bandwidth connection.
Windows 7 MigrationEliminate many of the problems typically encountered during OS migrations, such as high costs, application compatibility with the new OS and lack of hardware support Minimize the cost and disruption of migrating users and applications to Microsoft Window 7 desktops. Extend the life of existing desktop hardware to access virtual Windows PC desktops, reduce application conflicts and costly application porting, and regression testing by delivering Microsoft Windows 7 as a virtual desktop with VMware View 4.

Objection Response
The storage requirements associatedwithVirtualDesktopsare too high, Citrix provisioning server allows me to reduce those costs
With linked clones View Composer can drastically reduce the time required to deploy virtual desktops and 100s or 1000s of desktops can be managed as a single image which greatly simplifies patching and maintenance.
