VMware Horizon
Virtual Desktops and Apps Anywhere, Anytime
What is VMware Horizon?
VMware Horizon enables a digital workspace with the efficient delivery of virtual desktops and applications that equips workers anywhere, anytime, and on any device. With deep integration into the VMware technology ecosystem, the platform offers an agile cloud-ready foundation, modern best-in-class management, and end to end security that empowers today’s Anywhere Workspace.
How does VMware Horizon work?
VMware Horizon runs remote desktops and applications in the data center or the cloud and delivers them to employees as a managed service. It offers flexible deployment options across private and public clouds, such as Microsoft Azure, VMware Cloud™ on AWS, Google Cloud VMware Engine, and VMware Cloud on Dell EMC.
Is VMware Horizon a VPN?
VMware Horizon is not a virtual private network (VPN). It uses a unified access gateway (UAG) to allow secure remote access to Horizon. It does support remote access to desktops and apps via a VPN, but it's generally not necessary to use a VPN with a UAG.
Optimal Virtual Desktop and App Experience
Unique integration with VMware technology
Leveraging VMware’s virtualization heritage and leadership in Software-DefinedData Center (SDDC) and digital workspace technology, Horizon delivers unique benefits across management, networking, security and user experience. Built on VMware Cloud Foundation™, Horizon can leverage the market-leading capabilities of VMware vSphere®, VMware vSAN™, and VMware NSX to deliver real-timedesktops and applications, strengthen security, and simplify and automate day 2 operations.
End-to-end, Zero Trust security
Horizon delivers secure remote access to corporate resources from bring-your-own or corporate devices and centrally hosted desktops and apps. Intrinsic security that is built into your VMware infrastructure helps provide complete security from the device, across the network, and into the data center and cloud. VMware Workspace ONE®Access establishes and verifies end-user identity with multifactor authentication, and serves as the basis for conditional access and network microsegmentation policies for Horizon virtual desktops and apps.
Modern platform for simplicity and speed
Efficiently deploy and easily scale virtual desktops and apps across private and public clouds, all managed from a single control plane. VMware virtualization heritage provides Horizon unique benefits and best-in-class technologies that enable one-to-many provisioning and streamlined management of images, apps, profiles and policies for an agile, lightweight, modern approach that speeds, simplifies and reduces costs. Horizon, powered by the Blast Extreme protocol, delivers an immersive, feature rich user experience for end users across devices, locations, media and network connections.
