Very shortly after Citrix announced its Linux technologies for vApp and virtual desktops in XenDesktop and XenApp, VMware reported that Horizon View will support Linux in 2015. And why these firms have decided to take this step? It is very simple. Companies using Linux and Windows would find a VMware and Citrix unified virtualization tool very useful.
In this way, they would no longer maintain two virtualization platforms, two support teams, two protocols, two clients and two different environments. They could manage everything centrally.
VMware has announced that they will launch VDI solutions for Linux in China. The technology giant bets on a solution for Linux desktops based on Desktone, their desktop as a service solution.
