Skype for Business on Linux Gets VMware Horizon Thin Client & Zero Client Users Really Talking
With the release of VMware Horizon Virtualization Pack for Skype for Business on Linux, Thin Client & Zero Client users who have this Operating System are starting to reap the benefits of device communication...
VMware Horizon Skype for Business on Linux Will Get You Talking About Its Benefits
If you have not heard, VMware announced the release and availability of their VMware Horizon Virtualization Pack, which includes Skype for Business on Linux – and the benefits are something to talk about. Here are some things you might not know that go along with this amazing new, upcoming Linux functionality.
For the first time ever, Skype for Business for Linux is able to be delivered within a virtual desktop environment, while offering a quality user experience. With VMware’s optimized Skype for Business on Linux solution, just like Microsoft Windows, Skype audio and video communications is offloaded peer-to-peer, or entirely to a central multi-party call or meeting. Users can expect secure data during chats and file-sharing, easy and centralized deployment application, and user-friendly collaboration with all devices and platforms. Not to mention… potential, lower associated costs are also possible with choosing communications to be conducted at endpoints, instead of a data center.
