VMware Unveils VMware Horizon Suite, Industry's Most Comprehensive Platform for Workforce Mobility VMware Horizon Workspace , VMware Horizon View and VMware Horizon Mirage Deliver the Virtual Workspace to Simplify End-User Computing in the Multi-Device Era PALO ALTO, Calif., Feb. 20, 2013 VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW), the global leader in virtualization and cloud infrastructure, today unveiled the VMware Horizon Suite , a comprehensive platform for workforce mobility that will connect end users to their data, applications and desktops on any device without sacrificing IT security and control. With updates to VMware Horizon View and VMware Horizon Mirage , as well as a new product, VMware Horizon Workspace , the VMware Horizon Suite will enable IT organizations to empower users with a secure, easy-to-manage virtual workspace that delivers a consistent, compelling experience across devices.
Our customers are looking for a comprehensive, enterprise-class solution to empower workers in a world where the proliferation of devices and consumer cloud services have changed user expectations, while putting IT security and governance at risk, said Boaz Chalamish, senior vice president and general manager, End-User Computing, VMware. VMware virtualization has helped hundreds of thousands of customers change what is possible in the datacenter, and we believe it can have the same transformative impact in end-user computing. The VMware Horizon Suite will help our customers accelerate their journeys from the PC Era to the Multi-Device Era.
A report by Forrester Research Inc. finds the use of personal devices outside of IT control alarming with 67 percent of employees using personally selected smartphones and 46 percent using personally selected laptops none of which were approved or issued by the company . And, a recent survey by VMware found that 83 percent of IT administrators wanted to prevent the use of consumer online storage and collaboration applications . The VMware Horizon Suite is designed to solve the security and governance challenges these consumer-ready applications and devices bring to enterprises, enabling IT to meet the demands of their users with a virtual workspace that is secure, compliant and easy to manage.
Instead of treating remote work styles as an exception, success at Jaguar Land Rover will mean designing systems and policies assuming that everyone is mobile, using multiple personal devices connecting over both local and global networks, said Gordon McMullan, acting chief technology officer, Chief Information Technology Office, Jaguar Land Rover Automotive. VMwares Horizon Suite is at the heart of this capability. This will dramatically improve collaboration and productivity of our global workforce.
Single, Unified Platform for End-User Computing
The VMware Horizon Suite will bring together VMware's industry-leading desktop virtualization solution and technologies VMware has built from the ground up to support a mobile, collaborative workforce, including Project Octopus, Project AppBlast, Project AppShift, VMware ThinApp , VMware Horizon Application Manager and VMware Horizon Mobile into a single, unified solution. An integrated platform to support the mobile workforce, the VMware Horizon Suite is designed to transform technology silos of data, applications and desktops into centralized IT services that can be easily provisioned, managed and delivered to end-users. It includes:
VMware Horizon Workspace The New Virtual Workspace
Today, VMware introduced Horizon Workspace, a new product that will simplify the end-user experience and reduce IT costs by combining data, applications and desktops into a single aggregated workspace, that can be securely delivered on any device.
With VMware Horizon Workspace, IT administrators will be able to allocate data, applications or desktops to end users or groups instead of their devices, and end users will be able to self-provision corporate applications and services to reduce the burden on IT. This enables a quick and responsive IT department that can deliver the right data, application or desktop to any device, on the fly. Horizon Workspace will also enable organizations to easily add new devices, users or applications without having to reconfigure the devices or endpoints. In addition, centralized management simplifies the enforcement and management of user policies so the entire solution will enhance safety and security.
