VMware Horizon Mirage Layers explained
With the newest release of Horizon Mirage everyone is talking about layers, base images, application layering and so one. If you never have worked with Mirage or another layering technology before you may have seen something like this in the past:

Read "VMware Horizon Mirage 4.0 Reviewer’s Guide"
Welcome to the VMware Horizon Mirage 4.0 Reviewer’s Guide. Although Mirage is now on version 4.0, this is the first Reviewer’s Guide for the product. VMware acquired Wanova in 2012 and promptly integrated the Mirage product into the VMware End-User Computing suite to fill the gap of customizing and backing up physical computers. Horizon Mirage is now an integral part of the VMware Horizon Suite of enterprise desktop products. This reviewer’s guide enables you to evaluate Horizon Mirage.

VMware Mirage Architecture and Use Cases
Whenever I talk to customers it seems to me that there there is a large number of people that either have never heard of VMware Mirage or are not familiar with what the technology does for organizations and users. So, despite the title of this post I will also cover some of the VMware Mirage use cases.

VMware Mirage – Migrating XP to Windows 7
VMware Mirage setup continues in my lab. What we have done so far? In the first part we have setup and install the Mirage server. Then, in the second part we have installed the client on one Windows 7 VM, and that VM has been also taken from the “pending devices” into Reference Centralized Virtual Desktop (CVD ). We have also prepared an XP VM which had been “centralized” through the Mirage Console.

Using VMware Mirage in Remote and Branch Offices
Desktop management at remote and branch offices presents a significant challenge to IT departments. The challenge is magnified not just because of how IT must accomplish this feat, but also how they must accomplish it within a reasonable cost structure, while operating centrally or remotely, but with as little disruption to their end user base as possible.

VMware Mirage Released
VMware Mirage enables you to give your users the possibility to use physical desktops (or VMs for VDI solutions), which are protected by Mirage. Protected how? Basically VMware Mirage does backup of the user’s profile, (pics, documents etc…) to a central location. Not only the users files are backed up, but the whole PC get backed up as well.

VMware Acquisition Boosts Intelligent Desktop Virtualization
The difference between VDI and intelligent desktop virtualization (IDV) is that the latter is a Type 1 implementation of a hypervisor on the client, sometimes known as client-hosted virtualization. VDI, in contrast, hosts the desktop environment on top of a virtual machine on a server.

Working at 30,000 Feet
Just a few months ago, Barry and I spent a significant amount of time racking up air miles during a few business trips. In two weeks, we managed to accrue 51 hours of flight time (and yes, we were in coach the entire time!). Needless to say, 51 hours is a substantial time to be up in the air. Crammed seats, small toilets, that never ending “hum” of the engines, kids crying and bad food are just a small list of the joys, as I am sure you’re all aware.

Going from “Eating your own dog food” to “Enjoying your own dog food”
I was previously at a company that, because of an inferior user experience, had to bribe employees by giving them t-shirts and coasters if they switched over to the “new product.” While eating your own dog food is common at most software companies, bribing employees with branded items is not. This is especially the case when the software being touted does not add any value to the user, or worse, creates an inferior user experience.

Wanova Pitches New Approach to VDI With Image Centralization
Even as enterprises have been increasingly testing the waters of desktop virtualization, a great number have stayed on the sidelines, a reluctance that can be explained in part by cost and concerns over a loss of PC performance.

Wanova Releases Mirage 3.0 Client VDI Solution - KILLER!
Wanova releases version 3.0 of its Mirage software, adding new functionality for centralized desktop management for enterprises and disaster recovery for service providers. This image layering approach in Mirage 3.0 extends IT’s ability to centralize images and deliver single image management that VDI provides, while preserving the rich experience that end users expect.

Wanova Issued Groundbreaking Patent in Desktop Virtualization
Wanova announced the issuance of its first of several pending patents by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The patent secures the architecture of centralized, single image management of a primary copy of each PC image within an organization’s network, via Wanova’s unique layering technology; enabling a local copy of the image to run on an endpoint, with constant and optimized synchronization between the two images.

Read "Chasing the Mobile Desktop: How to Tame your Distributed Desktop Environment" White Paper
This white paper surveys existing and emerging approaches to desktop management in the enterprise, covering both traditional systems management methods, as well as newer desktop virtualization technologies. We will discuss their advantages and shortcomings of each approach, and propose an alternative paradigm to desktop management that attempts to reconcile the conflicting needs of user experience and mobility vs. centralized management and control.

Read "Wanova Mirage Use Case-Solution Brief - Global Hardware Migration" Solution Brief
Migrating users to a new PC, whether it is part of a scheduled refresh cycle, or because of loss or breakage of a laptop, is time consuming, expensive, and usually results in lost productivity while the end user ‘re-personalizes’ their desktop. These tasks can include re-installing applications that weren’t centrally provisioned, recovering settings and preferences, and restoring user data. This process is especially challenging when an organization supports remote and mobile users who connect over the WAN, due to the large size of the desktop image that needs to be transferred to the new desktop. With Wanova Mirage, organizations can migrate their users to new hardware in a matter of minutes, while preserving their data, settings and any user-installed applications, dramatically reducing the cost and time associated with the migration process.

Read "Wanova Mirage Use Case-Solution Brief -Desktop Backup and Fast Restore"
Remote and mobile PC users pose a unique business continuity challenge for most organizations. Spotty connectivity can make constant backup cumbersome, yet these users are far more likely to lose or break their PCs. Even organizations that are protecting these endpoints still find that when replacing a remote user’s lost or broken laptop, it can take days to return a user to productivity, and sometimes weeks to get them back to where they were before the loss. Finally, when employees leave the company, they often erase the contents of their laptops, and the company loses valuable data.
