VMware Horizon is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution for desktop and application virtualization. It helps organizations ensure business continuity and employee productivity while reducing costs. With a flexible infrastructure that can scale to the cloud, Horizon allows for a hybrid-cloud architecture, enabling deployment both on-premises and in the cloud. This approach not only modernizes desktop operations but also enhances security and management capabilities.

VMware Horizon can improve ROI by lowering financial barriers to technology adoption through its subscription model, which spreads costs over time. For example, ABC Corporation saved approximately $600,000 in hardware costs by moving its disaster recovery site to the cloud. Additionally, by simplifying image management, the organization reduced its image management costs by $234,000 over three years, demonstrating significant potential savings and efficiency gains.

VMware Horizon enhances end-user productivity by providing consistent access to desktops and applications, thereby reducing downtime. For instance, ABC Corporation estimated that its 2,500 full-time employees would gain an hour of productivity per year, resulting in savings of $187,500 over three years. The Universal Broker service further optimizes user experience by routing users to the most suitable virtual desktop or application, improving overall efficiency.
