The year may be coming to a close, but the end user computing market is still ripe with 
opportunity. Looking back on 2015, there was no shortage of observations about how the market progressed in just a year, and VMware continues to support and accelerate this wave of transformation. We at VMware are motivated by how our customers are using our technology, and this year we heard from several of our customers about how they use our new Horizon innovations to transform business processes.
One of the best parts of the year has been hearing firsthand from our customers about how they drive desktop transformation with VMware. During VMworld US and VMware Europe, we heard from more than 15 customers, including Auburn University, Societe Generale, Southern New Hampshire University, Telecom Italia and Thales, about their desktop transformation journey. The VMware team is blown away by our customers’ ability to innovate at such as a rapid pace and change the way their industry does business.
NVIDIA is an excellent example of an industry-leading customer accelerating desktop transformation. As a customer and partner, VMware and NVIDIA work closely together to support internal desktop deployments and also enrich the user experience.
“Maximizing the productivity and flexibility of our global workforce is critical to our business as the world’s leader in visual computing,” said Sunny Bedi, vice president, Corporate IT, at NVIDIA. “By enabling remote access to engineering and design applications while maintaining the security of our IP, VMware Horizon with vSphere helps make our workforce more effective.”
VMware is committed to providing customers with the tools they need to completely transform their business processes, enhance security and drastically improve productivity. The announcement of VMware’s Business Mobility strategy and the release of Horizon 6 pushed the innovation envelope and provided customers with the ability to deliver any application to any device, anywhere with security and management that is simple and unified. Customers rapidly adopted these innovations and shared their Horizon 6 experiences with us in this video montage featuring BDP International, Kroll Ontrack and Southern States Cooperative.
We also made significant strides in continuing the momentum of Horizon Air, enabling our customers with a cloud service that delivers virtual desktops and applications without the hassle and cost of managing their own infrastructures. Customers like 77NRG (hear their story here) and University of Wisconsin, which shared their unique use case at Educause, continue to embrace Horizon Air to drive innovation within their organizations.
As we move into the new year, VMware will continue using customer feedback to develop the Horizon product portfolio and extended EUC solution suite to meet the needs of our customers.
Happy New Year to you all, and we look forward to innovating together in 2016.
