Wyse Technology, the global leader in cloud client computing, today announced support for VMware View 4.5 upon availability. VMware View 4.5 is a virtual desktop product that establishes a modern, virtualized architecture for desktop computing, enabling a personalized user experience and flexible access to data and information.

By supporting VMware View 4.5 across its line of desktop, mobile, and handheld thin and zero clients, Wyse enables customers to take advantage of the product’s cloud computing architecture to deliver high levels of quality of service for desktop users.

Benefits for Wyse customers include the VMware View 4.5 offline desktop access feature, providing supported clients the ability to perform work even when disconnected from the corporate network.
