This week we released new versions of ThinApp, Horizon App Manager, and vCloud Connector. ThinApp 4.7 integrates with Horizon 1.2 now, to allow you to easily manage your virtualized applications on Windows. The new capabilities include dynamic entitlements, secure single sign-on, a management interface, and monitoring and reporting. The new vCloud Connector 1.5 will help you transfer workloads between clouds more reliably and efficiently. Users can now view VMs and templates across multiple clouds and perform basic operations through a new Web-based UI of vcloud.vmware.com.
