virtual desktop

Hello,

We  have few computers in our office that need replacement because the  hardware has begun to perfom a bit sluggish. I am considering  implementing virtual desktops on the existing hardware. We have one  server that can be used as VMWare Server.

Is it possible to run OS  such as Windows 7 as a virutal desktop on the existing hardware. Could  you please explain which Vmware product can do this task. End users  should be able to use audio and usb devices on their respective desktops

Thank you

Mottakutty

First of all, this doesn't have to do anything with Thinapp Smiley Happy

Second, have look at product VMWare View.

Your hardware would need to be able to run vSphere which in turn could host your Windows 7desktops.  You would also need vCenter and a couple of View Connection brokers to make this happen.   Check out the VMware View page for more information and to download an evaulation of the software.
