Simplified Desktop Management
Layered Image Management
Manage your endpoint image as a set of logical layers owned by either your IT organization or the end user. Update IT-managed layers while maintaining end-user files and personalization.
Then, if an endpoint malfunctions, IT can restore the system layers on the endpoint to fix an issue, without compromising user applications and data. Or quickly migrate a user from an old PC to a new PC without losing any end-user data or personalization.
Horizon Mirage complements and extends existing management processes and solutions for the PC life cycle.
Desktop Backup and Recovery
Full PC snapshots and ongoing synchronization of changes in the data center ensure quick desktop recovery. By quickly restoring the system to a new device, you can minimize end-user downtime when a PC is lost, stolen or damaged.
Application Layering
Easily deploy individual applications or groups of applications— or VMware® ThinApp® packages—to any collection of end users by leveraging Horizon Mirage managed- application layering. Applications common to a certain team can be grouped into a single application layer and applied to all of the
endpoints for a group of employees. VMware ThinApp is included in Horizon Mirage.
Scalability with Small Infrastructure Footprint
Horizon Mirage is designed to support up to 1,500 end users per Horizon Mirage server, and it can easily scale up to 20,000 end users per server cluster.
Branch Office Optimization
Optimize branch office management by enabling any Horizon Mirage client endpoint to be a branch reflector. A Horizon Mirage branch reflector allows you to download any updates once from
the Horizon Mirage server, followed by peer-to-peer updates to other Horizon Mirage clients in the branch office. Advanced algorithms ensure that only required data is sent between the Horizon Mirage server and Horizon Mirage clients in a remote location or office.
Flexible PC Image Deployment
Provision centrally managed Horizon Mirage images to physical Windows desktops and laptops, or support “bring your own computer” initiatives by delivering IT-managed images to virtual machines with VMware Fusion Professional, which is included in Horizon Mirage.
View Desktop Image Management
Manage virtual desktops in your Horizon View environment using Horizon Mirage. Install and update Mirage layers to full clone virtual machines in persistent desktop pools, just as you would with physical PCs. This includes updating applications, OS patches, and base images. Managing virtual desktop images with Horizon
Mirage also allows updates to applications without affecting userinstalled applications and data. IT can effectively use Mirage to manage both physical and virtual endpoints at scale.
Empowering End-User Productivity
Across Boundaries
Personalized Performance
Enable end users to leverage the local computing resources of their desktops and laptops and maintain offline productivity. Images managed by Horizon Mirage install natively onto Windows desktops and laptops—or as virtual desktops in Fusion Professional running on Mac or Linux systems. Image layering gives end users
the flexibility to personalize their systems.
Optimized and Adaptive Experience
The Horizon Mirage client monitors the resources being used on an end user’s PC to ensure that the backup and synchronization processes never interfere with user productivity. Horizon Mirage
dynamically adjusts CPU, RAM and network usage as needed to guarantee a seamless end-user experience.
Self-Service File Access and Recovery
The Horizon Mirage file portal enables end users to access any file on their endpoint from any Web browser. Users can also restore any file or directory with a few clicks.
