Questions tagged [vmware-horizon-view]

VMware View is a commercial desktop-virtualization product developed by VMware. Its first two releases (2.0.0 and 2.1.0) sold under the name VMware VDM, but with the 3.0.0 release in 2008 the name changed to "VMware View". "VMware View" became "Horizon View" with the launch of Horizon 6 in April 2014.

Horizon View provides a streamlined approach to delivering, protecting and managing virtual desktops (VDI) and apps while containing costs and ensuring that end users can work anytime, anywhere, across any device.
