For an end-user enablement, vRealize Orchestrator Plug-in for Horizon integrates with vRealize Automation to provide self-service access to applications and desktops. The plug-in workflows can be integrated with the request and approval processes that are built into the vRealize Automation service catalog, allowing end users to refresh their own desktops. End users can make requests that follow a standardized and auditable process that can result in immediate action, or they can direct their requests for administrative approval. For desktop environments where virtual machines must support rapid change and reuse, end users can provision desktops for themselves and de-provision, or recycle, the desktops to reduce waste of resources and capacity.
