hi, you can look into VMWare Horizon View - https://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/view/VMware-Horizon-View-Datasheet.pdf http://whychoosevmwareeuc.com/
With VMWare Horizon View, you can access the Windows VM via an VMWare View Client or web browser interface. It also supports port redirection for USB, local printing etc. It can be configured to be securely accessed over internet from any device - iPad & android tab, Windows/Linux/Mac laptops/Desktops. Access protocols are - RDP, VMWare PCoIP & VMWare Blast. *Mr. Debapriya Biswas* Mobile & WhatsApp: *+91 9903074673* Skype ID - *debapriyabiswas* *Personal Website: http://dbiswas.strikingly.com/ <http://dbiswas.strikingly.com/>* On Sat, Mar 26, 2016 at 8:52 PM, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > I don't know too much about this, but I use a Mac at work and we have a > Citrix VDI farm.
