This document outlines a session on VMware View 5.0 and performance of PC-over-IP. It discusses trends in end user computing moving to any device access. New features in View 5.0 include improvements to the PCoIP protocol that provide up to 75% bandwidth reduction and better server consolidation. Performance tests show View 5.0 provides better response times, lower bandwidth usage, and lower guest CPU usage compared to previous versions. The document recommends best practices like enabling client side caching and disabling build to lossless to optimize performance over WAN links.
VMware vCenter Infrastructure Navigator is an application awareness plug-in to vCenter Server, and provides continuous dependency mapping of applications. Infrastructure Navigator offers application context to the virtual infrastructure administrators to monitor and manage the virtual infrastructure inventory objects and actions. Administrators can use Infrastructure Navigator to understand the impact of change on the virtual environment in their application infrastructure. Infrastructure Navigator helps virtual infrastructure administrators perform the following tasks:
Make accurate first-level triage to help either eliminate the problem or associate the problem with the virtual infrastructure when business service users report problems.
Assess change impact. Manage and communicate virtual infrastructure issues for critical applications.
Understand the application and business impact of changes to the virtual infrastructure on applications.

Enterprise Management – Solution Suite Overview
A look at each new solution suite and how they can be used in harmony to make strides towards delivering IT as a service.
Mark Stockham, Enterprise Management Specialist
When a global Telecommunications firm's comprehensive virtualization strategy required visibility into thousands of virtual servers spread across 5 U.S. data centers, they turned to Net Optics and its Phantom solutions.The Telco faced the challenge of supporting numerous VoIP call centers for compliance, security and call quality. This virtualized architecture encompasses more than 150 VMware ESX servers and 1600+ virtual servers. The Telco chose Net Optics Phantom™ HD, working in conjunction with the Net Optics Phantom Virtual Tap, to fulfill this complex demand. Only the Phantom solution delivers the necessary robustness to process extremely high data bandwidths.

Package, Stream, Manage. Application virtualiization isolates applications to create a conflict free environment with manageability as the cornerstone to successful service delivery in large organizations. With App-V, deploy applications in seconds to thousands of computers automagically.
This is the first post in my series about the new features in Windows Server 2008 R2. As in my series about the new features of Windows 7, I will update the articles when I learn about new features. I will discuss some of the new features in more detail soon. Essentially, the term "virtualization" covers three different technologies in Windows Server 2008 R2: Server Virtualization, Desktop Virtualization, and Presentation Virtualization. Server Virtualization is based on Hyper-V 2.0, which will get quite a few interesting new features. The virtualization technology ehind Desktop virtualization, i.e., Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), is also Hyper-V. This is probably the most important new feature in Windows Server 2008 R2. Presentation Virtualization is nothing but the good old Terminal Server. Technically, I find it a bit odd to use the term "virtualization" in this context, but from a marketer's point of view, it probably makes a lot of sense. Note that Microsoft renamed the "Terminal Services" as "Remote Desktop Services" in Windows Server 2008 R2.

Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Setting Default Recommendation Description
Caches image content on
Client Side Caching On Leave Default
client to reduce retransmission
Enables the ability to enable
Build to lossless On Turn Off
or disable build to lossless
Reduces BW usage of audio
Session Audio BW limit 500Kbps 50 - 100Kbps
with usable quality
In WAN conditions, this will be
Change to 10-15 based
Maximum frame rate 30 helpful for video playback and
on network settings
fast graphics operations
Set it as per network Good for better bandwidth
