Sun VDI Software 3 Early Access 2 is now available!

About 45 minutes ago we released Sun VDI Software 3 Early Access 2. You can get it from the Sun VDI Software download page (scroll to the bottom). This is tremendously exciting release for us, the culmination of many months of work by our excellent engineering team.

What have we done? A lot! We've expanded our VMware support so you can do much larger deployments (yes, we support multiple vCenter servers!), we've included a virtualization platform based on VirtualBox that can do VDI desktops for older versions of Windows, Solaris, Ubuntu, etc., and we've added support for Open Storage and the Sun Storage 7000 Unified Storage Systems to massively reduce storage expenditure. We've also added built-in support for ActiveDirectory.

I'll be going into more detail in the coming weeks. But if you're looking at deploying VDI, download the early access release right now, kick the tires, and let us know what you think at virtualdesktop at sun . com.

The Sun Virtual Desktop Connector component of Sun VDI Software has been updated to patch 3. Dirk gives some detail on the changes (including support for VMware ESX 3i!) and lists the patch numbers. However, it looks to me like SunSolve is being a bit picky, so I wanted to give you direct URLs:
