Configuring VMware
VMware virtualization enables you to run multiple virtual machines on a single physical machine. VMware Horizon Client is a
locally installed software application that communicates between View Connection Server and thin client operating system. It
provides access to centrally hosted virtual desktops from your thin clients.
In every ThinOS release, the Horizon Client version may be updated to newer version. For information about the latest Horizon
Client version, see the latest Dell Wyse ThinOS Release Notes at www.dell.com/manuals.
NOTE:
If you are upgrading your thin client to the latest ThinOS version, you must ensure that the Horizon server or agent
version is updated to support the latest horizon client version. For more information about the client and server/agent
version compatibility, see the VMware Product Interoperability Matrices page at www.vmware.com.
This section provides information about how to configure a VMware broker connection on your ThinOS device, and other
VMware features that you can configure on ThinOS.

1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click Remote Connections.
