Take Control of Virtual Desktops across the Enterprise

Deploy and manage secure, portable client PC environments across the enterprise and beyond. With VMware ACE, your organization can combine the power and versatility of virtual machines with the security and control of centrally managed PCs, making it easier to:

• Manage virtual desktops from a single point of control


• Increase security and flexibility for mobile and remote workers


• Safely extend corporate resources to 3rd party unmanaged PCs


• Deliver fully configured virtual desktops for demos and training

Remote workers, business partners and third-party service providers all need access to corporate data and network resources, yet IT must also adhere to an ever-growing list of security and corporate governance regulations that are often at odds with user needs. As a result, many organizations are seeking ways to increase flexibility for their end-users without compromising security and control over endpoint PCs and other critical IT assets.

Harness the Power of Desktop Virtualization

VMware ACE is a comprehensive enterprise solution that organizations use to provision standardized client PC environments inside secure, centrally managed virtual machines called ACEs. Each ACE contains a complete client PC?including the operating system and all applications. Desktop administrators use the dynamic policy configuration capabilities in ACE to lock down endpoints with device and network access control, there by protecting confidential company data and ensuring compliance with IT polices.

Use Workstation 6 with the ACE Option Pack to create, package and deploy ACEs to local and remote endpoints such as aptop and desktop PCs, or even portable USB devices such as thumb drives and portable hard drives. Once deployed, use the ACE Management Server to monitor ACEs and enforce corporate policies from a central location. The ACE Management Server enables administrators to deliver dynamic policy updates to local and remote ACE instances, as well as to control the activation and de-activation of each package for contractors, consultants and other temporary users.
