Description

Is an Intel® ARC™ GPU capable of running VMware Horizon?

VMware Horizon is a modern platform for secure delivery of virtual desktops and apps across the hybrid cloud.

This solution provides media acceleration via AV1 encoding and decoding on Intel ARC Graphics (and Intel Data Center GPU Flex Series) optimized by the Intel® oneAPI Video Processing Library (oneVPL).

Please visit VMWare’s website for more information on its software technologies and use cases.

Note: Intel Arc Graphics does not support any virtualization technology. This article refers exclusively to VMWare’s Horizon product, and it refers to delivery methods of the virtual environment, not the set up of the virtual machine itself.
