Last week I was in Japan meeting with the local VMware teams, customers and partners. One of the highlights of my trip was getting the chance to catch up with a great VDI partner NEC. NEC was one of the early partners who joined the VDI Alliance, and was one of the first too launch an end to end VDI solution leveraging VMware's VI3. At VMworld last year, NEC announced their VPCCsolution which was one of the first end to end VDI solutions that offered everything from client to storage. In addition, it was the first solution offering a solution that addresses Multimedia performance issues often found with SBC and thin client solutions.

Their efforts included working with other leading technology providers in the industry and resulted in the first thin client device and software that enables multimedia formats to be decoded on the client side rather than the server side. Because their thin client device, the US100 is a thin-os device. There is little too no management required when compared to other devices that run an embedded OS. Therefore, you end up with the best of both worlds in a client device that requires no management, but can also deliver a PC like multimedia experience. Another feature of the VPCC solution is the tight integration with their IP Telephony products.

The VPCC solution is packaged to fully support the NEC VoIP offerings as well. Not only is this bundling unique but the multimedia integration with the US100 is as well. All the the voice traffic is decoded on the US100 device further reducing any server side decode required. The VPCC solution also comes with its own connection broker that is integrated with the NEC Sigma System Center server management software. One of the features I like most is the ability to do patch management of virtual desktop OS for simplifying patch management. If you are looking for a fully integrated end to end VDI solution you should check out the NEC VPCC offering. If you have never been to Japan, you will find that everyone is very polite. I also find it very service oriented . The food, as expected was also great. Lost of Sashimi!
