BYOD enable your business with VMware Horizon View

In our current device centric environment, end users expect to be able to stay connected to their professional networks via mobile devices and that’s where this quarter’s software pick comes in. This quarter we have chosen to introduce you to VMware Horizon View, a software that provides an agile and adaptive approach to computing, enabling IT to balance business requirements with the needs of end users.

What is Horizon View?

Horizon View is complete solution for desktop and application virtualisation, brought to us by VMware.  Horizon View offers organisations the flexibility to meet the needs of a mobile and global workforce, all while maintain extremely high levels of security and control. This is done by placing all of your organisation’s desktops into one centralised managed service, keeping all your desktops in one place where you can easily manage and customise desktops to fit the needs of your end-users.

Transforming your desktops into virtual machines with Horizon View will simplify tasks such as troubleshooting and provisioning and will also dramatically reduce the cost of managing each user desktop.  In addition, as all of your data will be stored on virtual desktops your users will be able to access their personal settings and data from any device, in any location, making for better user experience and increased productivity.

Horizon View is made up of numerous components, such as:
  • VMware vSphere Desktop (including vShield Endpoint)
  • VMware vCenter Server Desktop
  •  Horizon View Manager
  •  VMware ThinApp
  •  Horizon View Persona Management
  •  Horizon View Composer
  •  Horizon View Client
This combination of components allows Horizon View to provide you with secure, compliant and easily manageable virtual desktops throughout your organisation.

The Benefits

Desktop virtualisation with Horizon View offers numerous benefits to organisations of all shapes and sizes. These benefits include:


Horizon View is the only end-to-end solution that simplifies IT management, increases security and increases control of end-user access while decreasing costs by centrally delivering desktop services from your cloud.
