I wanted to do a live blog on the Keynote but my streaming audio collapsed so many times that I can’t write a decent article… but luckily Scott was in the room and he managed to publish an article a few minutes after the keynote ended. So read it here. Great stuff,

One of the problems with VDI has always been RDP. Especially when connecting over a WAN. Key with VDI is, like Paul Maritz just stated in his keynote, is user experience. VMware just announced an alliance with Teradici to achieve a greater user experience for a true remote PC.
The protocol will be incorporated into a future release of the newly announced VMware View set of products that extend VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) to include both server hosted virtual desktops and client virtual desktops that can run on any laptop or desktop computer. VMware View will provide a personalized view of users’ desktops from any device, anywhere, while providing centralized management of desktops in the datacenter.

oSo there have been a couple of major and innovative features and visions released over the last two days. But that’s not where it ends. The official VMworld hasn’t even begun yet and here’s the next announcement: VMware View.
So what will be announced today: VMware View Composer, VMware Offline Desktop and Client Virtualization which all are directly related to VDI.
VMware View Composer – Advanced image management for virtual desktops allows you to:
VMware Offline Desktop – Access virtual desktops whether online or offline to:
VMware Client Virtualization – With virtualization for laptops and desktops PCs you can:
So what more can I say than just wow… and again everything resolves around easier management, automation and reductions in resource needs… And indeed VMware View is what used to be VMware VDI.
update: you can find the formal announcement here.

Chad just wrote an amazing article about what vStorage actually is. Besure to read this one!
vStorage has been something that VMware and EMC have been working together on for a long time, in fact, before it was called vStorage (which was recent) – it used to be called VMAS a name only engineers would like. In fact, we’ve been working on this from almost right after the original acquisition before the program even existed formally.
