“Real-Time Audio-Video” Overview
Webcams were unsupported with Horizon View desktops, unless specifically used
with optimized UC vendor solutions
USB redirection of webcams and headsets resulted in bandwidth explosion
• Single webcam stream can result in 60 Mbps upstream to remote desktop
• Due to bandwidth explosion, unable to support USB webcam redirection over
WAN
Before
After General support for microphones and webcams with Horizon View desktops
Broader application support for use with webcam video and microphone audio
Audio/video from microphone/webcam is encoded and compressed on client
endpoint
• Bandwidth reduction to as little as 300-600kbps

GoogleTalk
View Agent
• Audio and video captured on client device
• Audio/video encoded and compressed
• Compressed audio/video sent back to remote desktop
• On View desktop, audio/video decoded and presented to virtual webcam driver and virtual audio driver

Comparison: Real-Time Audio-Video vs. UC Optimized Solution
Real-Time Audio-Video UC Optimized Solution (Microsoft,
Cisco, Avaya, Mitel)
Description VMware delivered “Real-Time Audio-Video” to enable
improved microphone/webcam performance with View
desktops
Solutions from UC providers that work optimally
in VDI environment
Use Cases General bi-directional audio/video support with
applications inside VDI desktops
Enterprise grade UC VoIP and video chat, call
centers, etc.
Media processing All media is host-side rendered All media is rendered on client endpoint
Pros • Broader generalized application support
• Completely scalable (client-side rendered
media)
• Point-to-Point media delivery
Cons • Host-side rendered solution
• Media hairpinning
• Limited application support

Flash URL Redirection
Streaming of live video events from Adobe Media Server
Overview
Stream live video events optimally to
Horizon View desktops
Support for live video streaming on Adobe
Media Server
Supported with Windows and Linux thin
clients
Benefits
Stream live video events to virtual desktops
without affect datacenter server and network
Enables new multimedia use cases with virtual
desktops
Adobe Media

Multicast stream
28
How “Flash URL Redirection Works” works
View agent
SWF File
• JavaScript intercepts and redirects
• Shockwave File (SWF) from View
agent to View client
• User clicks on URL inside browser with
embedded JavaScript
View client
• On client, a local player opens up
contents of SWF file and contacts media
source
Adobe Media
Server

• Adobe Media Server
streams packetizes video stream and puts
it on the network
• Flash player opens up outside of Horizon
View desktop session and plays video locally

Key Takeaways
VDI landscape is changing
• Customers demanding more out of their virtual desktops
• Mobility, Unified Communications & Collaboration are all key
• Customers are expanding their VDI deployments to more users
VMware has the broadest 3d virtualization portfolio in the industry,
with software 3d, shared and dedicated 3d graphics capabilities.
View Media Services enables scalable UC with Horizon View
desktops.
View Media Services with Real-Time Audio-Video expands
application support for bi-directional audio and video.
Scalable live video streaming is now possible for Horizon View
desktops

Case Study: Fuse Networks
Situation
• Existing VMware Horizon View user
• Wanted to extend virtualized desktop use to its
contact center agents
Challenge
• Contact center agent access to desktops from
remote locations and from home
Solution
• VMware Horizon View with Mitel UC Advanced
Results
• An agent can launch their View session from any
windows laptop or PC exactly the same way they
launch a View session from the office.
“Our agents are
people that provide
customer support, who
can now do it from
their home. They can
do it from the hotel
room. They can do it
from the office.” – Tim
Maio, Founding
Principal Fuse
Networks

Case Study: East Coast Insurance Company
Situation: • Needed to move offices to a new location
• Virtualization already deployed in data center & some desktops
Challenges: • Productivity of remote workers & field sales
• Expense & disruption of moving hardware from location to another
Solution: • Deployed 150 virtual desktops with VMware View & Mitel UCA softphone
• Expanding to 350 users this year
Results: • No hardware on site - now have centralized management for all desktops
in the field
• Mitel Unified Communications solution allowed standardization on one
platform, VMware, for both data center and desktop
