VMworld Europe 2009: Client Virtualization Platform (CVP)
Today VMware announced new collaboration with Intel Corporation to deliver the VMware Client Virtualization Platform (CVP) as a new product that will be part of the VMware View suite of desktop virtualization products. According to the press-release, the upcoming Client Hypervisor requires Intel vPro:
VMware CVP is a bare-metal client hypervisor optimized to run on desktop and notebook client PCs utilizing Intel® Core®2 and Centrino® 2 processors with Intel® vPro™ technology.

This helps customers further reduce the operating costs of PC management while boosting business flexibility and end user productivity.
This is already a little more information than we got during the keynote speech. I think Stephen Herrod will dive a little deeper tomorrow during his keynote session. I will keep you posted!
