Security and Resiliency
VMware vSphere ensures that your data and applications remain highly available, secure, and resilient. Build your software-defined data center (SDDC) on VMware Horizon and enjoy access to a full suite of security- and efficiency-boosting technologies. Applications and data are protected by continuous, automated screening and proactive response to threats. In the case of infrastructure failure, vSphere with Operations Management will keep your data available without interruption.
End-user access is managed through IT-defined policies which can include Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), conditional access, and application whitelisting. Choose what your employees can access and prevent sensitive data from leaving your network and being moved to an unauthorized computer. To further enhance security, use vSphere Instant Clone to rapidly create a pristine VM each time an end user logs in and destroy that VM each time the end user logs out.
Deployment Options
VMware Horizon can be deployed in three ways: on-premises, cloud-hosted, or hybrid. With an on-premises model, you can choose to use a private cloud or even utilize an air gap to maintain a closed system that is not connected to the internet. The cloud-hosted option allows you to utilize VMware Cloud or another cloud service. This cloud can be deployed on AWS or Azure and integrates the Horizon Control Plane. A hybrid model allows you to link on-premises and cloud-hosted platforms in a federation. VMware Horizon offers the opportunity to adjust your deployment as the needs of your business changes.
End-User Experience
VMware Horizon supports multiple end user Operating Systems including Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. By authenticating your employees using smart cards and MFA, Horizon protects your data from unauthorized access. End users experience a feature-rich VM with low latency access to data and applications. Access local printers, USD and webcams, and monitors without interruption, making Horizon an ideal platform for bring your own device (BYOD) environments.
Choosing VMware Horizon
The flexibility, competitive cost, security, elasticity, and simplicity of VMware make it a compelling option for your on-premises, hybrid, or cloud-based data and applications. With strong support for BYOD workplaces, Horizon provides comprehensive management tools and an excellent end-user experience. The fully integrated VMware virtualization platform allows the hypervisor to dynamically adjust your system to suit your needs, allowing you to allocate resources effectively.
