VMware Horizon Apps -- Expanding Upon the VMware Horizon 7 Portfolio of Solutions

Horizon Apps is a new solution that adds to the Horizon 7 portfolio of on-premises offerings. Customers can choose the updated Horizon 7.1 for their desktop strategy or Horizon Apps for a holistic application-centric strategy using published applications. In addition to the benefits delivered by JMP and BLAST, customers also benefit from significant provisioning costs that are roughly half of the competition.

A technology preview of Microsoft Skype for Business for Horizon 7.1 will also be available and the solution will offer secure collaboration to keep corporate data secure in the datacenter to prevent data leakage. IT administrators can experience simple management with greater visibility, policy management and control through centralized deployment and application updates.
