photograph wantedA Horizon or Workspace ONE session in use: a virtual desktop on a real screen, or a thin client on a real desk

What it is

Horizon delivers desktops and individual applications from the datacentre to whatever device someone is sitting at. The desktop runs centrally and only the display is sent.

What it is for

Workplaces where the data should not leave the datacentre, short-lived environments such as training rooms and test benches, and line-of-business applications that do not sensibly distribute across a thousand endpoints.

It does not replace a managed laptop. The two solve different problems and coexist in most estates.

What changed

VMware’s end-user computing business was spun out and has traded as Omnissa since 2024. The product and the people stayed. The contracts and the roadmap did not. If you still carry Horizon under a VMware agreement, know where you stand before the next renewal.

What we do with it

Draft, unreviewed

Draft, not yet reviewed. Horizon projects never fail on Horizon. They fail on profile management, on printing, and on the one line-of-business application that has expected a local install since 2011. We plan those three before the sizing rather than after it.

This paragraph is a draft and nobody at soulTec has confirmed it yet. Everything above it describes the product and is checkable against the vendor.
