VMware announced Horizon App Manager now available for on-premises use

Posted: 02 May 2012 09:45 AM PDT

Today VMware announced that Horizon App Manager 1.5 will be available for on-premises use.

Horizon App Manager is VMware's single sign on (SSO) portal for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications that was released in May 2011 hosted by VMware and sold on a per-user subscription.

Horizon App Manager enables organizations to centrally manage the provisioning, access and usage of public and private SaaS application, supports the main SaaS providers like Box.net, Google, Salesforce and WebEx, allows federated login on apps that supports Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) or Open Authentication (OAuth2) and provides split-key identity storage for legacy web applications.

Later in this quarter, Horizon App Manager 1.5, will be available as a virtual appliance that companies can host in their data centers maximising the control over this authentication provider and service providers can host for their costumer or for their direct use.

VMware announced Octopus beta release

Posted: 02 May 2012 08:32 AM PDT

Today VMware announced the beta release of Project Octopus, its Enterprise cloud file sharing application that appeared in the Apple App Store in the first week of April.

Octopus uses synchronization technology from Zimbra and Mozy in order to enable enterprise data sharing, with centralized policy management for administrators, on- and off-premise and offers clients for iOS, Android, web browsers, etc.

Project Octopus will offer, in the final release, integration with VMware Horizon, VMware View and Project AppBlast.


Beta program is open to all and will last through VMworld. The beta is open to all and will last through VMworld. Due to limited support resources, priority will be placed on customers with active engagements.

Release: VMware View 5.1

Posted: 02 May 2012 08:09 AM PDT

Today VMware disclosed the new features of VMware View 5.1, its Virtual Desktop Infrastructure platform. This version is the follow up of version 5 which was released in August 2011.

The most important features can be summarized as follows:

  • View Storage Accelerator, already announced for View 5.0 and lifted at the last moment, this feature is borrowed from vSphere's Content Based Read Cache (CBRC) and basically caches frequently used disk blocks into VDI host's RAM avoiding frequent reading of the same informations from central storage.
  • View Persona Management is now extended to physical machine with the main purpose of VDI migrations or OSes migrations.
  • vCenter Operations (vCOPs) Manager for View is a new version, optimized for virtual desktop deployment, that provides end-to-end realtime monitoring of desktop and users. Already announced at VMworld Europe last year now includes a very requested feature: the ability to monitor PCoIP performance. This new release could help companies to use a single management stack for both private clouds/infrastructures and VDI.

We also wish to report an important consideration by Brian Madden:

.. the biggest thing we recently learned from VMware (thanks to Vittorio) is that they are planning (in the future) to deliver single remote Windows applications via PCoIP, and they will also deliver complete remote Windows desktops via HTML5. That's huge. Right now you can only connect to a complete remote Windows desktop via PCoIP. VMware demonstrated technology they're calling "AppBlast" which delivers single applications via a browser, but that was HTML5 only. So basically in the future we'll be able to connect to single remote Windows apps via PCoIP or HTML5, and complete remote desktops via PCoIP or HTML5.

Piston plans to integrate VMware’s Cloud Foundry into OpenStack

Posted: 30 Apr 2012 04:56 PM PDT

Today Piston Cloud Computing, Inc., a one-year old company that has developed a private cloud operating system built on OpenStack and named Piston Enterprise OS, announced a new community open source project called Cloud Provider Interface.

Cloud Provider Interface will integrate OpenStack with Cloud Foundry, VMware's open source PaaS available through various private and public cloud distributions.

This "marriage of convenience", using the words of Krishnan Subramanian, principal analyst at Rishidot Research, comes unexpected in an infrastructure landscape that wants OpenStack opposed to VMware and Amazon WebService but seems more logical on a PaaS perspective, where VMware tries to place itself as an open source player.

Piston will work on a Cloud Foundry BOSH (an open source tool chain for release engineering, deployment and lifecycle management of large scale distributed services) CPI for OpenStack that will extend Cloud Foundry deployment over OpenStack in addition to VMware and AWS.
