What’s up at VMware? End-User Computing
VMware, the original virtualization company, is continuing to evolve as virtualization technology heads towards the commodity department. The company’s newest push is around the concept of End-User Computing.
With its end-user computing products and strategy, VMware is aiming to give IT the tools and means to transform “siloed desktops, applications, and data into centrally managed IT services, delivered to end-users securely, on the device of their choice.” This means allowing IT to centrally set policies, encrypt data, ensure corporate governance is followed and do much more on all devices a user may use.
The products under VMware’s End-User Computing umbrella carry the moniker “Horizon” and include:
-
VMware Horizon View
-
VMware Horizon Mirage
-
VMware Horizon Workspace
-
VMware Horizon Suite
