Horizon Cloud Next-Gen Features
Horizon Edge
A thin edge architecture, deployed using Horizon Edge, reduces the footprint of the Horizon infrastructure by replacing pods with a single Edge Gateway.
Advanced Automation
API-driven architecture provides ability to integrate additional tooling, services, and workflows, creating automation to support environments.
Simplify Management Across Multi-Cloud
Single cloud-based management interface for all deployments unifies and streamlines administration across Horizon environments.
Stable Environment
With more management components moved into the Horizon Control Plane, there are less components to manage, providing high levels of stability.
Faster Time to Value
A turnkey pod-less architecture makes DaaS easier to deploy, leading to faster time to value.
Deployment Options
A multi-tenant, cloud-scale architecture enables you to choose where virtual desktops and apps reside – on-premises, hybrid, or multi-cloud.
