LAN streaming has an average start-up time of just a few seconds. For example, less than 10% of Microsoft Office needs to be physically streamed to the client in order for it to run. Block-by-block network streaming: Applications virtualized execute once the minimum amount of code required to run the application is available in the desktop’s memory. 100% User Mode execution: Client runs on locked-down, unmanaged “kiosk” PCs without Admin rights to execute applications, enabling it to be used on managed and unmanaged PC. Applications run directly from the compressed state without first caching data to the hard disk, achieving better performance and security of data. Zero-runtime execution: With no installed agent, no footprint is left on the endpoint device. NET applications on the same OS without conflict as the applications run independent of one another.

Modification: Deploy Office 97, 2003, 2007, and. They've made a GUI for choosing the labs, and on flatscreens around in the room you can see statistics such as most popular labs and total number of VMs created and labs completed (see pictures below).- Application isolation: Isolated applications run in a virtual bubble in restricted user accounts without requiring any host A VMware employee told me that part of the custom code is calculating the most popular labs, and then pre-deploying a number of these up front as to reduce waiting time.įurthermore, the whole user experience is pretty cool. What you're actually experiencing is that as soon as you're choosing a lab, then almost instantly you have two ESX servers and a number of VMs provisioned for you. It works so well that you're not even thinking about what is going on under the hood. So far, I have taken four labs, and I must admit that I'm impressed. The whole solution is based on a number of Lab Manager installations with a custom interface on top of it which has been built for the purpose.

There's also a fail-over possibility to a datacenter in Europe, should an issue occur. Here in Copenhagen there are around 240 thin clients with each two screens running up against two datacenters in Florida and Virginia with a dedicated 100 Mbit line over the Atlantic. There's been a lot of talk about the hands-on labs at this years VMworld.
