Omnissa is excited to announce Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure Standard Subscription, a cost-effective and scalable desktop as a service (DaaS) offering designed to simplify virtual desktop and application delivery. The offering allows customers to use Horizon Cloud on Azure to deliver optimized single-session VDI desktops or multi-session RDSH (Remote Desktop Session Host) desktops and apps, while streamlining management and modernizing app delivery. Furthermore, Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure offers a superior, personalized end-user experience that boosts productivity and satisfaction with end-users. Let’s take a closer look.
Horizon Cloud on Azure Standard Subscription allows IT to choose between single-session and multi-session configurations for VDI and RDSH. Single-session VDI gives each user a dedicated virtual machine, which provides efficient resource utilization, personalized experience, and enhanced security. For single-session VDI, IT can offer end users dedicated/persistent and floating/non-persistent desktops. Multi-session, also known as RDSH, provides both published desktops and published applications that are available as shared sessions from a virtual machine, allowing multiple users to share resources leading to reduced costs.
Managing virtual desktops and apps in any cloud and across data centers can be challenging, but the cloud-hosted Horizon Control Plane simplifies it with a suite of next-gen SaaS services for unified management of Horizon deployments, including Horizon Cloud on Azure. The Horizon Control Plane provides various management services like app and image management, power management, unified brokering, and monitoring.
These are just some of the comprehensive set of services on the Horizon Control Plane that help IT teams simplify management of their Horizon environments.
Traditional app lifecycle management in virtual desktop and app environments is often complex and time-consuming. To reduce complexity and time, Horizon Cloud on Azure Standard Subscription includes App Volumes and Apps on Demand, available directly from the Horizon Control Plane. App Volumes improves application delivery by allowing IT to package applications once and deploying them across Horizon 8, Horizon Cloud, and even other virtual desktop and app solutions. IT can use App Volumes to separate app management from OS management and therefore reduce the number of OS images being managed. App compatibility is no longer an issue as App Volumes supports diverse app formats that can be delivered anywhere. With Apps on Demand, IT can further reduce lifecycle management, time and infrastructure costs by delivering apps to users when they need them, not if they need them.
To provide a great user experience, Horizon Cloud on Azure desktop and app experience can be optimized via the Blast Protocol, personalized with Dynamic Environment Manager (DEM), and accessed using Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub.

As a DaaS solution managed by Omnissa and deployed on Azure, Horizon Cloud on Azure shifts the responsibility of infrastructure management to Omnissa, while providing the desktop and app scalability needed to grow with ease. While several options are available to get entitlement to Horizon Cloud on Azure, the new Horizon Cloud on Azure Standard Subscription is a great entry point to get started with DaaS on Azure. At just $9 user/month (with an option also available for concurrent users) customers can take advantage of all the services in the Horizon Control Plane to streamline management, leverage App Volumes to reduce app management costs, and provide exceptional experience to their users.
