Providing disaster recovery for physical desktops is difficult, especially when combined with the need for the flexibility of a remote-first experience.īy contrast, Horizon allows flexibility for providing disaster recovery to desktops and the applications. When planning for user access, a remote-first approach must now be taken.Ī remote-first approach that relies on physical desktops is challenging and introduces many operational and security concerns. The focus is now on how to provide both continuity for the user, as well as business continuity for the IT systems. Times and challenges have changed, and the assumption that users can access an office location no longer holds true. That secondary location would provide replacement imaged physical devices. With physical desktops, this was often planned on the assumption that the users could work from another office location, either owned or leased, that had been primed for them. Where a user is being delivered Horizon-based desktops or published applications from a particular location, contingencies should be made to provide equivalent services from a separate location.ĭisaster recovery plans need to include the ability for users to access desktops and applications. Because organizations depend on Horizon to deliver key services to users, the design of the Horizon services must provide disaster recovery (DR) capabilities to ensure availability, recoverability, and business continuity.ĭisaster recovery for Horizon workloads should be viewed from the perspective of the users. VMware Horizon® is a family of desktop and application virtualization solutions that enable organizations to deliver virtualized desktop services and applications to end users.
