Also, while many of our users now rely on web apps, some still need to access legacy applications. Since Chromebooks are secure VDI endpoints, we get the best of both worlds by using VDI solutions for desktop and application virtualization.” —Cliff Dixon, Vice President of IT, Quality Distribution, Inc.

Navigating Diversity in Operating Systems and Browsers. April 22, 2013. Google’s new computers are fast, easy to manage and always up-to-date. Chromebooks and Chromeboxes run business web applications lightning fast and provide a secure virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) platform for client applications. They’re fully supported as endpoints by VMware, a leading provider of virtual desktops and Desktops as a Service. A rising player Starting at $179, Chromebooks are the fastest-growing segment of the PC industry. 1 The Chrome device family includes devices from manufacturers like Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus, Samsung, Acer and Toshiba. And it continues to expand, with the latest Chromebooks running on Intel’s powerful Haswell processors. VMware on Chromebooks Employees will be able to access their Windows applications, data and desktops using VMware’s Blast HTML5 technology from a Web-based application catalog on their Chromebook. To enable HTML access, administrators install components from the VMware Horizon View Feature Pack on the connection server and virtual machine. Chromebook users simply launch virtual applications by entering a URL to open their Horizon View desktop and login— no installation required. IT can also pre-configure Chromebooks with shortcuts to specific sets of virtualized applications that different users need. Cloud companion Chromebooks feature a fast and secure native browser, so your employees don’t need to access a central server just to use the web. Today’s information workers already use an average of 9.6 web applications to do their jobs. 2 As demand increases for web applications like Google Apps, Salesforce and Zendesk, Chromebooks are ideal devices for harnessing the collaboration, scalability and mobility benefits of the cloud. Productive mobility Speedy, simple and secure, Chromebooks are lightweight and have built-in wireless modems, so employees enjoy a consistent experience in the office, at home or on the road. They feature Chrome browser’s simple interface, which is already familiar to many users. Easy and secure management Chromebooks update automatically with the latest features and security fixes, so they get better—not slower—over time. And with built-in virus protection and 24/7 support, Chromebooks are easy to manage. Their web-based management console allows IT administrators to control users, devices and apps.
