VMware has announced a new strategic collaboration with Samsung to deliver virtual desktops to mobile devices and enable a new class of dual persona mobile devices. The companies intend to collaborate by integrating both VMware View, the industry's leading desktop virtualization platform, and VMware Horizon Mobile (both announced this week) with Samsung mobile devices, including Galaxy S II and Galaxy Tab 10.1 and 8.9 -- delivering a new way to work for customers that enables seamless and secure use of employee-owned IT devices for accessing both work and personal data.

If you are administering or thinking of implementing a virtual infrastructure then you will hear about the new kid on the block - 'Pano Virtual Desktop'. Pano (by Pano Logic) is a new desktop device design to replace your desktop in your VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) environment. Some say it is the answer to cloud computing and virtualization.
