VMware: Crush the Quo
- 2. You’ve relied on Citrix in the past. And they were the only game in town when it came to published apps. But now you have a choice… MOVE FORWARD WITH VMWARE—the only platform purpose-built for the mobile cloud era. Horizon 6 allows you to crush the quo so you can transform the delivery and management of desktop and application services.
- 3. FOUR REASONS WHY YOU NEED TO MOVE 1 2 3 4 VMware Horizon 6 provides full support for published applications and desktop sessions with RDSH–as well as so much more! Microsoft recently announced the End of Availability of Server 2003. So, if you are using this platform, you have some choices to make. Citrix has announced the End of Maintenance of XenApp 5.0, and you are looking at some steep support costs to stay with the status quo. If you are not on Citrix XenApp 7.5 or XenDesktop 7.1 and you are looking to move, you are looking at a full rip and replace from their Integrated Management Architecture to their Flexcast Management Architecture.
- 4. WHY VMWARE? Unlike other vendors, VMware provides a single platform to support you from the datacenter to devices. VMware Horizon 6 and the Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) provide great performance and results.
