VMware View for Government-Agency Multilevel Secure (MLS) Desktops

| Cloud & Virtualization, Productivity, White Papers

Human lives depend on the multilevel secure (MLS) desktops used in government agencies. Yet today’s government MLS systems are not always as efficient as they could be. They typically consist of complex webs of networks and devices running multiple operating systems and applications over a host of network connections. Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) provides a compelling solution to many of these challenges. This paper summarizes the challenges of traditional MLS desktop solutions, recaps the technologies that make VDI a viable option, and highlights the capabilities of VMware View and the added value of products from ClearCube and RTCS.
