Vox Mobile and VMware Horizon: Empowering the Digital Workspace

2020, among other titles, will be the Year of the Remote Workforce. And, this transition to working from home won’t be ending any time soon as leadership in many organizations have embraced telework or a hybrid of remote and in-office work as their new normal.

 

Yet, the workarounds that were good enough for a few months of quarantine don’t make good business sense when it comes to a new way of working. To ensure that this new working model doesn’t go south, organizations of all sizes are transforming their on-premise physical desktops into digital workspaces. So much more than your average virtual desktop, digital workspaces provide users—from office staff to power-using engineers to a fleet of call center reps—with exactly what they need to power their organizations.

 

VMware Horizon Cloud: Anytime, Anywhere, Any Device

When it comes to the digital workspace, the focus on the end-user experience is more than just providing a virtual desktop. Instead, it’s about refining the experience by streamlining how users work—since not everyone needs a full desktop—and empowering the devices they use to do that work.

 

VMware Horizon Cloud with its best-of-both-worlds approach connects workers anywhere with their on-premise infrastructure in a cloud environment. Horizon Cloud on Azure makes it easy to stand up virtual desktops from anywhere and enabling your IT team to efficiently provision new clients, centralize desktop management, and improve security and compliance. The ability to efficiently and cost-effectively deliver, manage, and monitor virtual desktops and published applications to end users who may not need access to a full desktop can dramatically influence the user experience and your bottom line.

 

No Digital Workspace Too Big

Engineers, designers, scientists and other power users have traditionally relied on dedicated graphics workstations to perform the most demanding tasks, such as manipulating 3D models and visually analyzing large data sets. These standalone workstations aren’t only expensive to purchase and set up, but also require costly maintenance to ensure they are performing optimally.

 

VMware Horizon is an easy-to-manage, scalable solution that allows power users to have access to and the ability to manipulate complex models and very large data sets from virtually anywhere. With the appropriate network bandwidth and suitable remote client devices, IT can now offer the most advanced users a secure and immersive 3D-graphics experience from any laptop or mobile device.

 

Real-Life Success

One of the industries hardest hit by the pandemic was the commercial airline industry. When airlines shut down, thousands of travelers needed to be notified of cancelations and incoming calls from worried travelers rose substantially. One industry-leading airline had so many customer calls that they had to increase their call center by about 500% to handle them all. VMware Horizon enabled them to keep up with this increased volume without having to add any physical infrastructure or hiring a whole new workforce, using IP phones and the devices representatives already had. IT was able to pivot quickly by transitioning existing customer service agents and re-provisioned airline staff to digital workspaces, tying hyperscalers that the airline already had to cloud-based desktops, to address the influx of calls and put customers’ minds at ease.

 

And it paid off. As some airlines are going down, this one is taking flight stronger than before thanks to VMware Horizon digital workspaces.
