Chromebooks are wedging their way further into the enterprise world thanks to a new deal between its maker, Google, and VMware.
Announced amid VMware's Partner Exchange in San Francisco on Wednesday, the virtualization giant's Horizon View desktop-as-a-service has been optimized for Google Chromebooks.

The pipeline is designed to provide access to legacy Windows-based applications, data and desktops via a Web-based application catalog on Chromebooks thanks to VMware's Blast HTML5 Desktop Access software.

Rajen Sheth, director of product management for the Google Chrome team, explained in a blog post on Wednesday morning how Desktop-as-a-Service on Chromebooks can not only serve to bridge old and new technologies -- but eventually replace them altogether.

As the countdown to Windows XP end of life continues, deploying Chromebooks and taking advantage of a DaaS environment ensures that security vulnerabilities, application compatibility and migration budgets will be a thing of the past.​
