VMware Communities: VMware View™ Bootcamp

Get ready for desktop virtualization with VMware View!

Four new bootcamp installments will be released, starting April 17th. These bootcamps include:

Troubleshooting View
PCoIP Optimization and Tuning Best Practices (update)
Getting Started with Persona Management
View Best Practices

Each morning a new installment will be released.

In this bootcamp series, we show you how to get started and successfully roll out and deploy your virtual desktops and applications. We have sessions covering everything from storage and networking best practices to PCoIP tuning and optimizing your base image. We also touch on VMware's new security server for PCoIP and how you can take advantage of powershell to write your own scripts for View.

At the end of this bootcamp, you will have a good understanding of the VMware View solution, how to roll it out and how to optimize View in your environment.

We are also providing a free e-book of all the presentations included in this bootcamp series--so be sure to register today.
