The new VMware Instant Clone Technology included in the View component of the Horizon 7 Enterprise Edition improves and accelerates the process of creating cloned virtual desktops over the previous View Composer linked-clone technology.

This white paper provides a technical explanation of Instant Clone Technology and its use cases, benefits, and limitations.
