VMware launches Cloud-based Desktop Service VMware Horizon DaaS
VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE
A new cloud-based desktop service-VMware Horizon DaaS has been launched byVMware(NYSE:VMW) that delivers cost-effective enterprise-class virtual desktops running on VMware vCloud Hybrid Service.
VMware Horizon DaaS supports both types of desktops in addition to full Windows Client Desktops - all at an affordable price point. The service provides an adaptive user experience across devices, locations, and media for consistent quality and exceptional user experience. It simplifies the delivery of high-quality desktops and applications as a cloud service so customers can quickly bring up desktops from the cloud for any number of end-users in just a few clicks. VMware Horizon DaaS supports enterprise mobility by enabling end-user access to full Windows desktops and applications through the cloud - from anywhere, at any time – using desktops or laptops (PC or Mac), zero/thin clients, Chromebooks or mobile devices (Android or iOS). As a result, the total cost of ownership is significantly reduced by offloading operational overhead and eliminating upfront capital costs. With monthly subscription fees that are predictable and flexible, customers can increase the speed of deployment with an architecture built for the right blend of on-premise and off-premise/cloud virtual desktops.
"Having pioneered the market for DaaS back in 2007, VMware continues to lead by introducing industry-first capabilities and technology innovations to deliver a best-in-class service and solution to our customers," saidSumit Dhawan, Vice-President & General Manager, Desktop Products, End-User Computing, VMware. "Our experience working with customers deploying DaaS the last several years have shown that the majority prefers a blended environment with both on-premise and cloud desktops. However, very few solutions in the market can deliver a seamless end-user experience across multiple clouds like VMware Horizon DaaS."
VMware Horizon DaaS is available immediately from VMware or through select channel partners and resellers in the United States with global expansion expected later in the year........See More
