Take Control of Desktop and Data Security
Securing traditional desktop and laptop computers is at best difficult. Cisco VXI with VMware View provides greater control over desktop and laptop environments while adding an exceptional level of security to the end-to-end infrastructure.
Gain Superior Control and Agility of Desktop Operations
The solution from Cisco and VMware supports migrating users to a new environment while simplifying the deployment of a new virtual infrastructure and the virtual desktops that run on it. After the solution is implemented, deploying additional virtual desktops to new users is accomplished in minutes -- rather than weeks.
Provide an Exceptional User Experience
Balancing user needs with the need for IT department control, Cisco VXI with VMware View enables users to access desktop environments consistently across locations and devices, regardless of network availability. High desktop and application responsiveness and smooth graphics performance are provided by network quality of service (QoS) optimized on a per-virtual machine basis and the PC-over-IP (PCoIP) display protocol.
Simplify Operations and Maintain Compliance with VMware View Templates and Cisco Service Profiles
Cisco VXI with VMware View automates the process of scaling infrastructure. From the hardware stack to individual virtual desktops, IT departments can consistently create and manage virtual infrastructures in compliance with best practices, industry guidelines, and government regulations.
