VMWare Horizon View

Since July of 2014, ITSC is adopting VMWare Horizon View as our new Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). The new solution improves the old one on the followings:

 

  • Shorter login time
  • Smoother and faster connections
  • Access via multiple platforms and devices such as Mac OS X, Apple iOS and Android, in addition to Windows.

 

This VDI now provides 3 desktop pools of software for different computing purposes like Academic/CAD/CAM/graphics and programming software. Your personal documents are shared in all pools for easy access. For access, visit the Installation Guide and User Guide to install the client software.
