VMware Horizon software is used to deliver virtualized desktops. It is a modern platform for providing and using VDI. With its help, administrators can automate and make the management of virtual workstations and applications more secure.
FAQ
For desktop virtualization, we use the new edition of the vSphere platform, VMware Horizon, which includes all the features of vSphere Enterprise Plus. The platform provides scalability, high availability, and optimal performance for all virtual desktop workloads.
A virtual workplace is a solution that allows you to organize remote work for employees without the need to install and download corporate applications on physical devices such as PCs, laptops, or smartphones. All business programs and data are stored in the cloud. Any platform can be used to connect: Windows, macOS, Android, iOS.
We use VMware Horizon 8 to implement the DaaS model for renting remote VDI workstations. Each remote desktop is represented by a separate virtual machine, whose resources, unlike a terminal server, are not shared with other users, ensuring stable performance.
VMware Horizon 8 is integrated with VMware’s software-defined data center, which includes vSphere and NSX. Businesses get a ready-made solution for on-premises and public cloud environments that eliminates the need for disparate storage, virtualization, and networking products.
