    Overview
    Dizzion provides a fully managed end user computing platform that is purpose built to efficiently operate workloads at scale. Services range from virtual desktops and workspaces to a complete application suite delivery. Service offered: • Cloud Delivered Desktop – Windows • Cloud Burst Desktop – Disaster Recovery • Desktop Application Streaming – ThinApp and XenApp The Dizzion Cloud Management Portal provides self-service allowing customers to choose how much they want to control and manage. The portal is an included feature of the Cloud Delivered Desktop offering. Dizzion Cloud Delivered Desktops are targeted towards enterprise organizations who wish to be in full control of where their data resides. A benefit of the Dizzion Cloud Delivered Desktop is the ability to control corporate data that is being used by remote workers, yet presents a liability if stored on that endpoint device. Dizzion users can control data saves, redirecting them to secure corporate storage in the datacenter. The ability to manage desktop upgrades, patching, adds and changes from one central location, eliminates the need to physically address each endpoint. This is a benefit to organizations with remote workers, multiple locations and a limited IT staff. Extending the life of aging equipment by repurposing simply as a virtual desktop viewer, and dramatically shortening the boot times, especially during boot storms are additional benefits of Dizzion Cloud Delivered Desktops.

    Reviews from Real Users

    VMware Horizon View stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Several major ones are its flexibility, powerful performance, and virtualizing capabilities.

    David G., a systems engineer at a tech services company, writes, “This product is great for desktop management. It enables you to update one golden image, save it and basically deploy it... It makes management a lot easier. There's also the huge savings. We've (used) it with the pandemic because everybody had to work from home. Even if there weren't enough laptops to go around, almost everybody has a home computer. It was just a matter of installing Horizon on your home computer and connecting to the office using two-factor authentication. They made it really simple.”
