Dunaway Cuts VDI Costs by 40% and Accelerates Performance with Horizon
Dunaway replaced an unstable Citrix VDI environment with Omnissa Horizon after recurring downtime, slow VM launches, profile corruption, and troubleshooting disrupted engineering work and billable hours. After a proof of concept with 20 engineers, the firm completed its migration in 10 weeks, running both environments side by side to minimize disruption. Horizon reduced average VM launch time from about 50 seconds to 12 seconds and improved VM creation by roughly 25%. Dunaway repurposed its former Citrix cluster into a second redundant Horizon pod across separate data centers, improving resilience and enabling maintenance without user impact. The new environment also provides predictable scalability and approximately 40% lower licensing costs, helping engineers spend more time on design an
