VMware View is a commercial desktop-virtualization product developed by VMware, Inc. Its first two releases (2.0.0 and 2.1.0) sold under the name VMware VDM, but with the 3.0.0 release in 2008〔 〕 VMware Inc. changed the name to "VMware View". "VMware View" became "Horizon View" with the launch of Horizon 6 in April 2014.〔 〕 VMware View provides remote-desktop capabilities to users using VMware's virtualization technology. A client desktop operating-system - typically Microsoft Windows 7, Vista or XP - runs within a virtual environment on a server. The VMware View product has a number of components which are required to provide the virtual desktops, including:: * VMware vSphere for Desktops (includes ESXi, VMware's hypervisor) * VMware vCenter Server (management of virtualization environment) * View Composer (advanced View management, with automation and cloning) * View Manager (administration of the View Environment) * View Client (communication between View and the desktop OS) * VMware ThinApp (application virtualization) * View Persona Management (user profile management) * vShield Endpoint (offloaded desktop antivirus) Although VMware licenses vSphere hypervisor per physical CPU-socket,〔http://www.vmware.com/products/datacenter-virtualization/vsphere/compare-editions.html〕 it licenses VMware View per concurrent desktop.〔 http://www.vmware.com/products/view/howtobuy.html〕 The bundled hypervisor, vSphere for Desktops, is functionally equivalent to vSphere Enterprise Plus.〔http://blogs.vmware.com/euc/2011/08/desktop-virtualization-with-vsphere-5-licensing-overview.html〕 VMware View has two licensing options, Enterprise and Premier. Enterprise comes with vSphere for Desktops, vCenter Server, and View Manager, and has an MSRP of $150 per concurrent desktop. View Composer, Persona Management, vShield Endpoint, and ThinApp are included in the Premier edition at an MSRP of $250 per concurrent desktop.〔http://www.vmware.com/products/view/howtobuy.html 〕 In order to transport a view of the desktop to users, keyboard, video, mouse and other interactions travel over a LAN connection. VMware View supports both the Microsoft-developed RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) and the Teradici-licensed PCoIP (PC-over-IP) protocol.〔 http://www.vmware.com/company/news/releases/teradici_vmworld08.html〕 Users establish client connections to VMware View sessions by running a VMware View Client on a local host. The product supports most versions of Windows, along with Mac OS X. Specific embedded clients are also supported for a large number of thin clients, for a list of supported clients refer to the VMware website.〔 〕 An open-source product called "VMware View Open Client" can connect from a Linux or Mac OS X desktop to remote Windows desktops managed by VMware View.〔 (VMware: VMware View: VMware View Open Client - Now Available ) 〕 The client uses rdesktop under-the-hood to connect to the host. An HTML5 Client for VMware View is available to enable access to VMware View desktops directly from within any HTML5-compatible web browser such as Safari, Chrome, Internet Explorer and Firefox (for Windows, Linux, Mac and Chrome OS devices, such as Chromebooks).〔 〕 (Ubuntu 12.10 can login to VMware View desktops ) directly from the login screen. ==Versions== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「VMware Horizon View」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
