I predict that by the end of next year, VMware Horizon 6 will be neck-and-neck with Citrix XenDesktop / XenApp in the enterprise. I base this prediction on talking to many customers (several of them very large), who are seriously looking at Horizon 6 as their next platform to replace their current XenApp 6.

VMware App Volumes 3.0 Doing UEM – Deep Dive

#VMware App Volumes 3.0 Doing UEM – Deep Dive

VMware App Volumes 3.0 Doing UEM – Deep Dive

VMware released app volumes a while ago, today I thought it was time to do a deep dive and see what they created. Strangely we now have two app volumes versions, the 2.5 and the 3.0 version. Customers on version 2.10 are not advised to go to 3.0, which is odd as everyone was expecting a new version that would be the successor of the 2.10 version. Customers can’t upgrade the appstacks to the 3.0 version so they would need to rebuild.

My View 7 upgrade

Hi there, It is now time to upgrade my lab to Horizon 7. The info below will help you to do the same. Important note is that I am just doing the View 7 upgrade and not implementing anything else – like True SSO. That will perhaps come later. Like in my 6.2 upgrade I am not ready to start using the Access Point appliance – but still have the Windows based Security Server. The hardest thing of this upgrade – for me – was to find the bits. Life of a vExpert though. Lets get started!
