As blogged earlier this week VMware has announced a new product suite known as VMware Horizon Suite,
VMware Horizon Suite is still in Alpha release. Horizon is a platform that will make it easier administrators to manage the challenges associated with consumerisation (mobility, cloud, and employee BYOD) while also providing a simple working environment for your end users, no matter what the device is.
VMware Horizon Suite brings together many of the technologies within VMware – Project Octopus, Project AppBlast, ThinApp, VMware Horizon Application Manager and VMware Horizon Mobile, as well as the management of VMware View. This not only includes VMware technologies, but also software that runs on Windows and applications delivered via Citrix XenApp, for example.
This makes it possible for enterprises to get the consistent governance they need, while workers enjoy separate personal and business workspaces and consistent access to applications and data on any personal device.
Through a central Web management console, the VMware Horizon Suite enables IT to provide a service catalog for all company data and applications. Horizon Suite will understand a user’s context (device, location and connectivity level) and then apply policies across applications, data, and devices no matter where that data or applications resides (Windows, Web, SaaS or Mobile).
With Horizon Suite, end users can also securely access and share their data and files from any device. You can get a feel for what it looks like in the video below:
Horizon manages from the middle, rather than the endpoint, through identity, context, and policy. And through its web console, IT can deliver a customised service catalog to users so they can select delivery of on-demand Windows, Mobile, SaaS, and Web-based applications to end-users on any device.
VMware Horizon Suite provides the security, governance, and manageability enterprises need while also providing all of the freedoms of choice and work style associated with the BYOD and consumerisation of IT trends.
