VMware View 5 and Horizon

VMware used the Las Vegas VMworld conference to announce a pair of “new products and services for the post-PC era.”

VMware View 5 is the latest release in the company's line of desktop virtualization management tools. According to VMware, version 5 provides advanced 3D graphic support, improved scalability for voice and video services, and protocol enhancements that provide “...as much as 75% bandwidth improvements over LAN and WAN connections.”

VMware Horizon application manager provides a centralized console for managing and deploying virtual Windows applications across the network. The latest Horizon release includes Horizon mobile, a tool for integrating the VMware desktop virtualization environment with mobile systems.
