Brand New: VMware Identity Manager now available! (vIDM)

Today VMware released the next evolution of the Workspace Portal (FKA Horizon Workspace) which is now introducing itself as VMware Identity Manager, or vIDM for short. vIDM is offered as both an on-premises solution as well as a hosted solution on vCloud Air.
