At VMworld 2012, VMware has previewed the alpha version of the VMware Horizon Suite, a new platform that aims to offer a flexible corporate workspace in the cloud for mobile workers to connect from anywhere using any device. Furthermore, VMware also demonstrated how the combination of VMware View and Wanova Mirage will enable customers to transform the legacy Windows desktop for the cloud Era.
Boaz Chalamish, Sr. VP & GM, End-User Computing, VMware said, “Migration to Windows 7 and 8, bring your own device (BYOD), and the cloud are challenging IT organizations with new complexities and risks. VMware’s continued investment and innovation in end-user computing will help IT organizations free the desktop, redefine the corporate workspace and embrace a new way of working in the post PC era.”
Prasad Calyam, Research Director - Networking &Virtualization, Ohio Supercomputer Center/OARnet, Ohio State University said, “Delivering desktops as a cloud service from the data center using VMware View makes centralized endpoint management simple and easy. VMware's expanded desktop capability using central image management for local execution with the acquisition of Wanova Mirage will offer another way to support mobile workers in an organization."
