Horizon DaaS Powered FAQs
What is the VMware Horizon DaaS Platform?
The VMware Horizon DaaS Platform is one of the leading solution offerings available. With low cost, a subscription-based, multi-tenant, multi-datacenter and secure desktop-as-a-service solution is one of the top offerings in the market. It has been designed to address enterprise-class scale, but it can be a solution to simplify and make processes more user friendly for large to small companies. The Horizon DaaS Bundle can help enterprises create or extend their VDI footprint without increasing costs, infrastructure, management and ownership. Service providers can now offer enterprises a fully customizable desktop service accessible via the Internet or dedicated network from any location, on any compatible device and with the same user experience as traditional on premise PCs.
