VMware vShield Endpoint offloads virtual desktop antivirus and

antimalware scanning operations to a dedicated secure virtual appliance

delivered by VMware partners. Offloading scanning operations improves

desktop consolidation ratios and performance by eliminating antivirus

storms; streamlining antivirus and antimalware deployment; and

monitoring and satisfying compliance and audit requirements through

detailed logging of antivirus and antimalware activities.

VMware vCenter Operations Manager

for View provides end-to-end

visibility into the health, performance, and efficiency of virtual desktop

infrastructure (VDI). It enables desktop administrators to proactively ensure

the best end-user experience, avert incidents, and eliminate bottlenecks.

Designed for VMware Horizon View, this optimized version of vCenter

Operations Manager improves IT productivity and lowers the cost of

owning and operating VDI environments.

Traditional operations-management tools and processes are inadequate

for managing large View deployments, because:

 The amount of monitoring data and quantity of alerts overwhelm

desktop and infrastructure administrators.

 Traditional tools provide only a silo view and do not adapt to the

behavior of specific environments.

 End users are often first to report incidents. They also troubleshoot

performance problems that lead to fire drills among infrastructure

teams, helpless help-desk administrators, and frustrated users.

 Lack of end-to-end visibility into the performance and health of

the entire stack—including servers, storage, and networking—

stalls large VDI deployments.

 IT productivity suffers from reactive management and the

inability to proactively ensure quality of service.

VMware vCenter Operations Manager for View addresses these

challenges and delivers higher team productivity, lower operating

expenses, and improved infrastructure utilization.

Key features include:

 Patented self-learning analytics that adapt to your environment

and continuously analyze thousands of metrics for server,

storage, networking, and end-user performance

 Comprehensive dashboards that simplify monitoring of health

and performance, identify bottlenecks, and improve

infrastructure efficiency of your entire View environment
