VMware Horizon Suite
Contributor(s): Colin Steele
VMware Horizon Suite is a collection of products and technologies designed to help information technology (IT) administrators deliver desktops and applications and secure data on a variety of endpoint devices.
Horizon Suite is made up of three technologies:
- Horizon View - VMware's desktop virtualization platform
- Horizon Mirage - provides centralized image management for both physical and virtual desktops
- Horizon Workspace - enterprise mobility management software that provides users with a single workspace for their data and applications, accessible from any device
Workspace pulls in the functionality of Horizon Application Manager, a tool for managing software access that was released in 2011; Horizon Data, a file-sharing application; and Horizon Mobile, a mobile virtualization and app wrapping tool.
VMware announced Horizon Suite at VMworld 2012 and released the product in February 2013.
