1 Introduction
VMware Horizon Flex is a virtualization platform for desktops, which allows running virtual machines locally on users’ computers, both on Mac and with Windows, while connectivity to the company’s data center isn’t available. At the same time, the virtual machine utilized by the user can be Windows-based or have guest OS Linux inside.
