Last chance to buy View Enterprize Bundle or Add On is September 30, 2013.That same licensing model doesn't make sense for a Horizon View deployment with dynamic provisioning that might be supporting multiple shift workers.Īlso, VMware has announced the End of Availability for ThinApp, View Enterprise, and Horizon Application Manager on February 20, 2013. It is their corporate desktop or laptop that was delivered when they started for the company.

The total cost, not including support, is $85,000.00.īuying Horizon Mirage as a Named User makes sense, the business user is using a traditional endpoint device. Then I would spend $60,000.00 on Mirage licenses for the 400 users with physical devices that I want centrally managed from my data center. They will spend $250.00 for Concurrent User pricing for Horizon View, and then purchase Workspace and Mirage for $150.00 a Named User.įor example, if I have 100 users in a call center that will be using Horizon View, I will spend $25,000.00 on the Horizon View bundle. I think in the end, many customers are going to take an a la carte approach for purchasing the products. So, even though it is $100,000.00 cheaper, you could have a lot of wasted product licenses if your business partners aren't using the entire suite. Instead, the Named User is bundled all the products whether they are using them or not. With Named User, you can't specify Joe Smith that is using a thin client in a call center consumes a View license and Jane Brown in application development with a traditional endpoint gets a Mirage license. When Horizon Suite was first introduced and I saw the price, I thought it was a fantastic deal for an additional $50.00 until you look at the Named User pricing model and how it changes Horizon View to Named User licensing. If you add in 3 years technical support, which costs $166.00 a user, we are adding another $83,160.00 in the overall licensing costs for a total of $333,160.00. Personally, I love the Horizon Suite, but if I were going to deploy this for 500 users it would cost me $250,000.00 not including support. VMware has updated their licensing model for the Horizon Suite to include a concurrent option the list price is $500.00 a concurrent user compared to $300.00 for the named user bundle.
