VMware, a provider of virtualization solutions from the desktop to the datacenter, has launched open source client for virtual desktop infrastructure, VMware View Open Client. Claiming to be the first open source virtual desktop client, VMware View enables IT organizations to host user desktops in the datacenter.
Additionally, it will allow partners to use VMware View source code to optimize their products to deliver virtual desktops to users. In addition, partners will be able to use the source code to help accelerate the development and delivery of solutions for enterprises. "VMware feels strongly about industry collaboration to move the market forward to develop the best solutions. Now we are sharing our source code in VMware View Open Client so vendors can easily optimize devices to create the best virtual desktop solutions. As a result, IT is able to reduce the total cost of providing desktop environments by allowing low-end or less-expensive devices that provide the same feature set as higher-end devices," said Jocelyn Goldfein, VP and GM (Desktop Business Unit), VMware |
