VMware View enables IT organizations to safely host user desktops in the data center, while letting users access their personalized desktop environments from almost any device, at any time and at a lower cost of ownership than traditional desktop environments, said a press release.

Now, VMware is providing VMware View Open Client for partners, enabling them to use VMware View source code to optimize their products to deliver rich, personalized virtual desktops to users.

In addition, partners will be able to use the source code to help accelerate the development and delivery of solutions for enterprises to provision and manage thousands of virtual desktops simply, securely and at lower operating costs, said the release.

“Now we are sharing our source code in VMware View Open Client so vendors can easily optimize devices to create the best virtual desktop solutions,” said Jocelyn Goldfein, vice president and general manager, Vmware Desktop Business Unit.

“As a result, IT is able to reduce the total cost of providing desktop environments by allowing low-end or less-expensive devices that provide the same feature set as higher-end devices.”

He said this also brings Vmware closer to its Universal Client vision, where users can securely and efficiently access personalized desktop environments, from any device at any time.
