VMware’s much awaited launch of its Horizons DaaS product came to be today. This service is a product of the Desktone procurement last year and its integration into the Horizon suite. The official announcement can found here from VMware. Ever since I started hearing of the direction for Horizon suite I had concerns on how this may play out with Microsoft’s ever so draconian licensing policy of dedicating hardware and SAN to a singular customer’s workload only. It will be interesting to find out how VMware is working with Microsoft to deliver a cost-effective solution based upon Microsoft’s past licensing position. We shall see.
