Horizon Application Manager is VMware's new SaaS application delivery solution. It provides a simple, cross-delivery platform for managing virtual applications – if an app can be virtualized with ThinApp, it can be delivered through Horizon to a desktop, tablet, or mobile device. This flexible, simple and quick method of application delivery is the future of workforce productivity! View our slide deck as we explore how VMware Horizon Application Manager empowers IT and gives end-users an easy, secure way to get to their work!
