VMware Certifies Thin Client Vendors
VMware has created a certification program for thin client devices that allows enterprises to choose from more VMware-certified hardware options that work with VMware’s virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) technology. The company said that open standards ensure that thin client devices running on multiple platforms will give virtual desktop users a consistent experience. Companies can choose what type of device suits their business needs, rather than being limited to a specific device that will only support that company’s VDI.

visionapp Brings App Delivery Management
Application delivery management provider visionapp has made available the One Solution Strategy virtualized application delivery infrastructure management system. The Server Management component  allows IT departments to create servers with a high degree of automation and the ability to enforce a methodology, according to the company. Additionally, the Workspace Management component makes sure all application delivery actions look and feel consistent for the user no matter what platform they are published with, visionapp said. The One Solution Strategy has integration capabilities with Citrix products including XenDesktop, Provisioning Server and XenApp.

PlateSpin Connects With XenServer
Novell subsidiary PlateSpin has added interoperability with Citrix XenServer for its product line focusing on server virtualization. The company said that PlateSpin’s Workload Portability and profiling technology helps Citrix customers in accelerating the integration of XenServer into data centers. Additionally, Citrix officials said the company uses PlateSpin’s PowerRecon data center analysis and planning product for its virtualization readiness assessment service. PlateSpin executives said that all future releases of its products will have the ability to work with Citrix.

SonaSafe Sports Mailbox Backup
Sonasoft, a provider of backup and recovery automation for Microsoft Exchange, SQL and Windows Servers, has added mailbox backups, customized ports and enhanced replication to its SonaSafe product suite. The company said backup of mailboxes larger than 2GB on the Exchange server is “impossible” because of limitations in the Mail Application Programming Interface, which generates .pst Personal Folder files in Microsoft products. The dynamic mailbox backup capability automatically splits those large mailboxes into smaller files. Sonasoft also said that the new version of SonaSafe reduces storage costs by having one complete backup of a mailbox and then having incremental backups as needed.
