The first is VMware Horizon View, previously known as VMware View. Horizon, which is being introduced a week before VMware's annual partner conference in Las Vegas, consists of three different products.

That need led to the move by VMware away from using the letter 'v' at the beginning of most of its products to adopting the 'Horizon' moniker for its VDI offerings, Goodman said. VMware Horizon Suite was developed with the recognition that users need to remotely run business apps from any device, Goodman said. To succeed, they need to transform their apps to run as a service.' But, businesses tend to buy point solution after point solution after point solution, and that just doesn't work.

'New users increasingly expect to access their apps from anywhere,' he said. The development of the VMware Horizon Suite comes as a new generation of IT users are bringing new devices running a wide range of new applications to the business environment, Goodman said. VMware on Wednesday renamed its VMware View virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) technology as VMware Horizon and introduced its new VMware Horizon Suite, which brings together several related technologies into an integrated VDI solution.Д«oth existing VMware VDI technology and technology from some recent acquisitions have been brought together in the new VMware Horizon Suite, said Ben Goodman, lead evangelist for end-user computing at VMware.
