In a November 2016 report by IDC, VMware was named the leading company for virtual client computing software.

VMware was one of three companies in the “Leader” segment of the “IDC MarketScape Worldwide Virtual Client Computing Software Vendor Assessment,” followed by Citrix and Microsoft. VMware was also ranked highest in the “Strategies” and “Capabilities” categories. According to the report, IDC acknowledges VMware’s acquisitions in the virtual client computing sector – AirWatch, Desktone, and CloudVolumes – but believes VMware will be successful in “integrating the disparate products into a cohesive whole.”

The report also notes that Dell’s acquisition of EMC has bolstered the company’s portfolio, “Based in large part on the increased demand in hyperconverged infrastructure for delivering virtual client computing workloads, VMware’s choice to run the Horizon workloads on hyperconverged infrastructure and vSAN-ready nodes as a key differentiator from competing offerings in the market stands to become increasingly interesting in the wake of the recently completed EMC-Dell merger.”
