VMware To Offer Desktop-as-a-Service Infrastructure on Microsoft Azure

#VMware, which last year announced a deal to integrate its infrastructure with #Amazon 's public cloud, has entered into a deal with Amazon's main competitor, #Microsoft. This time it's for delivery of virtualized desktops and apps on the #Azure public cloud. The announcement, which came as a surprise to many in the industry, means that VMware's Horizon Cloud Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) infrastructure can be delivered via Azure. It will be called "VMware Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure." VMware's press release announcing the deal quoted IDC's Robert Young on the biggest potential benefit for VMware: "The addition of a major cloud platform such as Microsoft Azure has the potential to accelerate the adoption of VMware Horizon among customers searching for a different way to manage and deliver Windows 10 desktops and applications."
