VMware has released a minor update for its connection broker Virtual Desktop Manager, technology it aquired by snapping up Propero about a year ago. VDM – download a trial here – has now reached version 2.1 (build 596) and includes the following addition features:

  • Multiple sessions per user within a pool
  • Pools spanning datastores in order to better manage resources
  • VDM Configuration Backup (command-line only)
  • Integrate MMR multimedia extensions DLL with VDM Client (Windows XP)
  • Allow blocking of incoming RDP connections that are not from VDM Clients
  • Allow end users to change password
  • Allow end users to restart their VM

Also, the company expects to ship ThinApp 1.0 (former Thinstall, of which the beta 2 was announced recently) as well as Server 2.0 (currently also in beta 2) during the course of this Summer.
