VMware has updated its desktop and application virtualization platform to make it easier for IT teams to support end users who need to regularly shift between working in the office and from home. The latest version of VMware Horizon adds support for an instant clone capability that rapidly provisions personalized virtual desktops and applications enabled by the VMware vSphere platform.

Jeff McGrath, senior director for VMware End User Computing, said interest in hybrid cloud implementations of VMware Horizon has risen sharply.

The VMware Horizon platform is significantly more robust in terms of both the hybrid cloud computing scenarios it supports and the management tools provided to IT teams, said McGrath.

VMware is betting a large installed base of IT organizations that have already standardized on VMware vSphere in both on-premises and now cloud computing platforms will result in more enterprise IT organizations embracing VMware Horizon.
