The Changing Landscape Can Enhance Horizon View

The Software-defined Datacenter

• Automation and policies covering the full needs of compute, storage and

networking

The Horizon Suite and supporting a Workspace beyond Windows

• VDI is an excellent way to turn the Windows workspace into a cloud service,

but there is a growing trend of workspaces not centered on windows

Image Management

• Mirage provides unified image management for physical and virtual machines

with layers and easy user data persistence

Desktop-as-a-Service and Multi-site capabilities

• Emerging needs of turning a VDI solution into a full-blown self-service model,

and handling the complex deployment topologies of very large deployments.

• Need to plug-in 3rd party components for portions of the architecture

Software Defined Storage Can Simplify Management and Reduce Cost

Reduce Desktop TCO with a “virtual SAN” on local storage Overview

Benefits

Virtual SAN

Overview

Benefits

Simplified management and administration

Eliminates the need for storage sizing and design

Reduce CAPEX costs of VDI

Scale out model – Scale IOPS, capacity & compute

simultaneously

Leverage new Software Defined Datacenter capability

with Storage Virtualization

Uses local storage on ESXi hosts

Presents an abstracted data-store that spans multiple

hosts for resiliency and removes single point of failure

risks

Delivers storage capacity and performance – Leverages

SSD & HDD

Policy based storage management


Accelerate Control

Horizon is the Platform for Workforce Mobility


Overview

Benefits

Enhanced Usability: A single pane of glass

to access desktops, apps and data

Standardized access across Windows

Desktops / Apps and SaaS apps

SSO lowers support costs and improves

productivity

Secure Access to Application, Data & Desktop from a Browser

Potential Horizon Suite Support for User Entitlement to Desktops and SSO

View Desktop pools are connected into
