Overview

Client Virtualization from HP offers an end-to-end solution based on the best managed and virtualization-ready HP ProLiant and BladeSystem servers, HP Storage, and HP Thin Client access devices. It is a desktop replacement solution that provides IT teams with the flexibility to quickly deliver and refresh desktops (no matter what the device is), reduces the business risk associated with potential data loss or theft, and lowers the complexity and cost of desktop management, while continuing to provide end-users with the functionality of a stand-alone desktop.

VMware View is built on the industry-leading VMware vSphere virtualization platform, providing unparalleled performance, scalability, reliability and availability for virtual desktop environments. That means your organization can standardize on a common platform for your entire IT infrastructure, from the desktop to the data center to the cloud.

This virtual desktop solution is a blueprint for HP VirtualSystem, a strategic portfolio of infrastructure solutions, which serves as the foundation for your virtualized workloads. Based on HP Converged Infrastructure (CI), HP VirtualSystem utilizes market-leading capabilities from VMware to centralize administrative tasks, improve scalability, optimize workloads, and reduce complexity.

Together, HP and VMware have created a complete Client Virtualization Reference Architecture that capitalizes on the strength of a nearly decade-long relationship. It offers simplicity, with an integrated data center solution that provides an optimized combination of compute, store, networking, and system management. This fully tested solution can be deployed quickly, managed efficiently, and scaled flexibly up and out as your requirements change.
