I've heard a lot of discussion in the last two weeks since VMworld 2012 San Francisco about Horizon Suite, View, Horizon Data, etc... how they'll be combined or replace each other, which one is the broker, blah blah blah..and what I can't help but scream to myself is, "You're missing the point!". What I believe VMware showed at VMworld with their Horizon Suite is the new "Workspace".
Last week I spent about 100 hours on the ground in San Francisco at VMware VMworld which had I'm told had over 20,000 attendees. Given my focus is on End-User Computing (EUC) I attended almost exclusively sessions from VMware's End-User Computing track, my only deviation was for my last session I attended on Thursday which was an advanced esxtop session. I attended mostly breakout style sessions but on Wednesday I discovered Group Discussions.
There is such a broad space that VMware covers with their products it’s impossible to cover everything that was announced at VMworld 2012 in San Francisco. What I can attempt to do is point you towards the enormous amount of content that was created by VMware and others before, during, and after the VMworld conference.

Found some very helpful information over on Duncan’s website Yellow Bricks.com regarding the management network and jumbo frames, on vSphere 5.
http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2012/01/20/no-jumbo-frames-on-your-management-network/
For our reference, I’ve copied the content below:
“Another thing to check if you experience this error is to see if you have jumbo frames enabled on the management network, since this interferes with HA communication.”
This is document here in a note: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2006729
To make it crystal clear: disable jumbo frames on your management network with vSphere 5.0 as there’s a problem with it! This problem is currently being investigated by the HA engineering team and will hopefully be resolved.
