Horizon is an Android app that allows you to remotely access your virtual desktops or applications. There is a unified workspace with high-quality graphics, just like on Parallels.
Workspace
The app enables users to access virtual desktops and applications hosted on VMware Horizon servers. This Virtual Desktop Infrastructure solution provides users with a consistent workspace, even when transitioning from traditional computers to Android devices.
One of the standout features of Horizon is its ability to deliver high-quality graphics. With the Blast Extreme display protocol, you can enjoy clear, high-resolution visuals, even when connecting over networks with low bandwidth.
The client is optimized for the Android ecosystem, taking full advantage of the touchscreen. Gesture controls, pinch-to-zoom, and other features are integrated. Thus, making it intuitive for users to navigate their virtual desktops.
Security
Security is paramount for remote access solutions, and the platform also prioritizes it. The app encrypts all communications between the client and the Horizon server. If ever there is a connection drop, the client’s session persistence feature automatically attempts a reconnection, minimizing disruptions.
