INTRODUCTION
 Enterprises are planning to embrace Cloud Computing

as the new model of infrastructure that helps them leverage IT better for their business.  VMware has announced several interesting products and solutions that could help enterprises benefit from Cloud Computing.  These range from infrastructure management to application development platforms and even something for end-user computing.

VMware VCloud Director

 VFabric incorporates a data management and application scaling layer that gives developers access to services that make the Cloud Computing infrastructure.  The vFabric integrated platform services include:  Tc Server: A lightweight application server based on Apache Tomcat application server that is optimized for Spring and ideally suited for virtual environments.  Gem Fire: A data management service that speeds up application performance and eliminates database bottlenecks by providing real-time access to globally distributed data.

 RabbitMQ: It's a cloud ready messaging service that facilitates communications between applications inside and outside the data center.  ERS: It's a dynamic load balancer, and is an enterprise version of the Apache web server that distributes and balances application load.  Hyperic: It enables application performance management through transparent visibility into modern applications deployed across physical, virtual, and cloud environments.

VMware View 4.5

 VMware View 4.5, is an updated desktop management and delivery solution that enables organizations to move from desktop architecture to modern, user-centric model.  This enables users to work on their virtual desktops over LAN or WAN, while VMware View with Local Mode enables secure offline access while leveraging local processing power of the device.  It decentralizes the operating system storage, which enables desktop environment to scale linearly and also with low latency.

VMware -ThinApp 4.6

 ThinApp 4.6 simplifies the application delivery by

encapsulating applications into a single package that can be deployed, managed and updated independently from the underlying operating system.  This saves the cost of application porting by deploying it virtually, as the application virtualization encapsulates the application into a single executable file, which can be deployed on any Windows operating environment.  This eliminates installation conflicts as each virtual application is isolated from each other and the operating system.
