VMware CTO Kit Colbert touted further benefits of the acquisition
In a blog post:
Delivering desktop applications to users, especially in Windowsenvironments, can be challenging and cumbersome. The installation paradigm for adding and removing applications from a system is heavyweight and fragile. Problems at runtime can easily crop up – such as incompatibilities or conflicts with existing apps – that can interfere with successful application delivery. Preventing these problems often results in complex workarounds, either through scripting or manual intervention. We need a better way, and CloudVolumes provides it.
