Hi all
here we have open discuss about one of VMware View nice feature witch is LocalMode (Offline)
we need to get the full advantage & disAdv of this feature
I will put what I undrestand from reading the View Docs
and here is mine
Benefits of using Local Mode
- Using the User PC or laptop hardware resource instance of using Data Center resource
- Mobility & flexibility to work anywhere
- In case of network, services down or power down in Data Center, users still can work on their (VirtualDesktop VDT)
- The application might run faster on local computer
- View admin can make The image be expire in case of Lost or stolen Laptop
- Can apply Organization Security Police on VDT
- The VDT disk is always encrypted & protected
- VDT periodically synchronize with Data Center, for updates & backup data
Disadvantage of Local Mode
- Can’t use with Thin Application ThinApp
- Can’t download the VDT if there is no enough hardware capacity on user device.
- Can’t use with smartphone or tablate.
also what happen when user VDT expire, are they need to download again from LAN, or they can do it over WAN?
