The suite bundles together three products - Horizon View, Horizon Mirage, and Horizon Workspace. With VMware positioning Mirage as layering technology, some have asked what this means for Unidesk. Here are the 3 reasons Unidesk continues to be essential for VMware...

This blog post was originally published on VMware's End-User Computing Blog as a guest blog by Tom Rose, Chief Marketing Officer, Unidesk.

Many are under the mistaken impression that Small and Mid-Sized Businesses have simple desktop use cases. And that SMBs can succeed with a simple, but limited, VDI solution. While that may be true for some, it’s definitely not true for most. Unidesk and VMware...

Over 600 people registered to hear the VDI project leads at these schools talk about their technology choices, lessons learned, and benefits realized. That 600+ registered...

Re-learned a rookie lesson on the way home from VMworld 2011 Las Vegas: don’t take a nap before getting on a red-eye - you won’t sleep on the plane. But it did give me the chance to blog Unidesk’s experience and thank 10 of our customers for helping staff our booth!

This was our second year sponsoring VMworld. Last year at VMworld 2010, we had just released Unidesk 1.0, and many IT organizations...

So often at Unidesk, we hear questions like “Do you integrate with VMware View or do you replace View?”, “Do you work with VMware ThinApp?”, "Do I still need Linked Clones", and “Isn’t Unidesk supposed to alleviate the need for ThinApp altogether?”

Read our VMware View Unidesk FAQ, which explains how Unidesk integrates with View the broker, and replaces the various management components...

Raechelle Clemmons, CIO at Unidesk customer Menlo College, just published a new blog titled "Virtual Desktops: Persistent, Non-Persistent, or…Both?" where she did a great job explaining why an analysis of use cases should be Step #1 in VDI design.

Menlo College is using the combination of VMware View and Unidesk to deploy a mix of persistent desktops (desktops that keep all user customizations through...

This week we announced that the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD) is virtualizing its 1,500 desktops with Unidesk, VMware View, and VMware vSphere. While 1,500 desktops is a good-sized VDI deployment, that's not what caught the attention of eWEEK, who ran a nice story on the news. It's that 1,500 desktops represents just about all of the workers at the agency, and all use cases....

If you're a college or university, and you've been struggling with how to give faculty and staff virtual desktops they'll readily accept, VMware and Unidesk have the answer. Yesterday we announced a promotional program that gives education customers a significant discount on Unidesk licenses when purchased with VMware View Premier or View Enterprise academic SKUs. If you're going with a VMware View...
