VMware View

I was one of the speakers at the Dutch VMUG event, my presentation covers the introduction to the installation and administration of VMware Virtual Desktop Manager (VDM). VDM is a connection broker for VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). It connects users to virtual desktops running on VMware Virtual Infrastructure (VI), and plays a critical role in security, access control, and overall desktop management. VMware VDM integrates with Active Directory and VirtualCenter to manage and deploy desktops to end users. VDM also provides a client that enables users to connect to virtual desktops using either a Windows PC or thin client. VDM provides a secure environment for deploying and accessing virtual desktops and leverages existing Active Directory functionality for authentication and login. You need the PowerPoint Viewer 2007 to open my presentation.

I’m running on Red Bull the past few days. My VMUG presentation is nearly ready, the image shows a glimpse of it. I’m going to talk about Virtual Desktop infrastructure, in particular my presentation will take a close look at VMware VDM2, the Virtual Desktop Manager that will be launched by VMware next year. Besides the presentation I created a video leader that will be used for the video footage I’m going to collect during this event. Some numbers, the Dutch VMware User Group Event 2007 has 400 attendees, 14 sessions, 11 sponsors and two parallel labs. Be aware of someone who wants an interview with you ;-) See you next Friday.
