VMware continues to build out its virtual desktop infrastructure and Desktop-as-a-Service platform and announced new capabilities to make it easier for IT to manage Horizon deployments wherever they may be, on-premises or in the cloud.

It brings together VMware Workspace ONE with VMware Carbon Black Cloud and VMware SASE. Horizon Control Plane services available on more cloud environments for greater flexibility.

In addition to supporting on-premises deployments, VMware Horizon on VMware Cloud on AWS, and Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure, this service is now available for VMware Horizon on Azure VMware Solution environments.

Lifecycle Management, enabled through Desktop-as-a-Service with VMware Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure, simplifies initial onboarding and continuous configuration by enabling automatic install, upgrade and scaling of Horizon infrastructure.

Stijn Haemhouts, deputy director ICT at Antwerp Police Department described how the organization uses VMware Horizon to get officers information and resources they need in the field, "With VMware Horizon, we've essentially turned our police vans into a mobile workplace. Thanks to VMware Horizon we can now deliver all necessary information via our FOCUS platform to the agents in the field. As a result, it now takes barely three minutes to be on the crime scene while it used to be six and more." Read the case study.

Customers can use existing on-premises Horizon infrastructure, such as Horizon Connection Servers, to support employees connecting to public vSphere-based cloud environments like Horizon on Azure VMware Solution and Horizon on VMware Cloud on AWS. Horizon now supports PostgreSQL, giving IT choice in selecting an open-source database for Horizon events, if needed.
