Instant access to VMware View virtual desktops possible from any
web browser supporting HTML5 - no software installation required on the
end-user device
Beta Details and Registration
Closter, NJ, (March 30, 2011) -
Ericom Software, a global leader in Application Access and Desktop
Virtualization solutions, today announced the availability of a beta
version of a patent-pending HTML5 client for VMware View – the first VDI
solution to work natively with Chrome, Safari and other browsers with
HTML5 and WebSocket support. The solution does not require Java, Flash,
Silverlight or any other underlying technology.
HTML5 technology enables development of rich,
highly interactive browser-based applications. Ericom has developed a
fully functional, high-performance HTML5 client that enables seamless
access to VMware View virtual desktops. Running wholly within the
browser, the client runs on devices with an HTML5 compatible browser and
requires no additional software installation on the end-user device.
Ericom’s pure HTML5 client for VMware View provides
multiple benefits to organizations of all sizes, as well as to Cloud
desktops and DaaS providers, including:
- Support for Windows, Linux, Mac and Chrome OS (HTML5 client is the only way to support Google’s Chrome OS)
- Runs on netbooks, desktops, laptops and thin clients, and supports Intel x86, ARM or any other CPU architecture
- Looks and works the same way on all supported device types, thus reducing training and help desk costs
- Enables IT staff to publish desktops to end-points, for which
native VMware View clients either do not exist or cannot be created
(e.g., Google Chrome OS)
- Can be deployed to locked-down end-points, kiosks and computers for which the user does not have administrative privileges
- Simple, easy and inexpensive to maintain - does not require any
infrastructure for deployment, upgrades or patches – simply put new
version on the server.
- Includes Ericom Blaze RDP Compression and Acceleration technology
Brian Berns, Ericom Software’s President and COO
commented: “Eliminating the need to install and maintain VMware View
client software provides direct cost savings, ease of implementation,
enhanced security and wider platform support that will accelerate the
adoption of View. We are proud to be the first company to provide this
exciting, breakthrough technology, enabling virtual desktop access to
become intuitive, flexible and above all – simple.“
Scott Brousseau, Senior VP & CTO of PBG
Networks, a VMware partner and an Ericom Partner commented: “As a VMware
partner with a focus on VMware View, we are very excited with this new
offering from Ericom. Ericom’s HTML5 client will definitely enable more
VMware View deployments, empowering users to access their desktops
on-demand, from virtually anywhere, and through any means of web
access.” Brousseau added “We have implemented Ericom’s PowerTerm
WebConnect as an alternative to Citrix XenApp at many sites and they
have consistently delivered quality and innovative technology.“
