'Through our expanded partnership with Symantec, we can deliver Desktop-as-a-Service solutions for enterprise organizations and service providers that offer the security, management and compliance customers require – all baked directly into a virtual desktop infrastructure and accessible to end users regardless of device or location.' 'VMware is committed to enabling the delivery of IT as secure, cloud-based services to end users,' Young said. In a statement released in support of the agreement, VMware Vice President and General Manager of End-User Computing Chris Young touted the integrated aspects of these new DaaS solutions. According to Symantec, these new solutions will utilize Symantec Endpoint Protection, the Altiris Client Management Suite, VMware vShield, VMware View, VMware vCloud Director, and VMware vSphere 5 to deliver a 'secure, manageable and cost-effective DaaS solution' that leverages 'on-premise Virtual Desktop Infrastructures (VDI) with the efficiencies and scalability of cloud computing.' With the largest VMworld ever as a backdrop, Symantec and VMware have announced that they'll partner to develop new desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) offerings that will include features designed to ease virtual desktop deployment, simplify management, and enhance security.
