The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is shopping for a replacement of its virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and application delivery solution.

According to a request for offers (RFO), TxDOT’s current system is Omnissa Horizon Enterprise Plus.

The agency requires a solution that can deliver both Windows and Linux virtual desktops including the following features across both on-premises and multicloud environments:

• Remote access

The solution must support high-performance rendering for multiple display protocols, desktop clone technology, real-time application delivery and secure remote access via Unified Access Gateway. Applications must persist across user sessions.
