So here I am sat above the clouds circling London with a great View, and I ask myself what can I do to kill some time. So I decide a blog about VMware Horizon Suite is in order given that both Clouds and View are included it seemed appropriate.
For those of you who don't know VMware last week announced a new suite of end-user computing products called the Horizon Suite.
The suite bundles a numberof products from VMware and is part of the vision which VMware already detailed during the VMware Forum in May last year.
The suite consists of VMware’s View which is now called Horizon View, Horizon Mirage and Horizon Workspace. The suite delivers a complete solution for delivering a consistent workspace across different devices. Among View, Mirage and Workspace also the technologies of Project Octopus and AppBlast, Project AppShift, VMware ThinApp and Horizon Mobile are included too.
Horizon Mirage is centralised management for physical desktop images over the cloud. VMware acquired the Mirage product when it acquired Wanova in May last year.
Horizon Workspace is a new product name containing both Horizon Application Manager and Horizon Data, which we used to know as Project Octopus. Horizon Application Manager offers an Enterprise Application Store capable of presenting Windows-based applications in addition to both public and private cloud based applications. Project Octopus, which is now called Horizon Data provides on- and off-premise enterprise data sharing functionality.
Horizon View is updated to version 5.2 with a raft of new features.
The Horizon Suite will be licensed per named user.
Great move by VMware in what is a very hot topic in most CIO's agendas. Need help, contact us at Equanet.
