The “thin-edge” architecture reduces the footprint of the Horizon infrastructure that resides in your Azure subscription.

We’ve outlined these benefits in past blogs, but let’s take a closer look at the details of how Horizon Cloud next-gen can deliver lower cost, unprecedented scalability, advanced automation, and improved visibility and troubleshooting: Lower cost Additionally, advanced automation via published APIs lets you integrate Horizon more deeply into your IT environment and Day 2 management processes, while proactive monitoring means VMware can identify and resolve problems before they affect you and your users. This modern architecture significantly reduces the cost associated with deploying Horizon Cloud infrastructure while increasing scalability to unparalleled levels. Horizon Cloud next-gen customers will enjoy features and capabilities never seen before, including a unique “thin-edge” architecture that drastically reduces the amount of infrastructure deployed in your environment. For customers, it means unprecedented scalability and cost optimization along with a dramatic simplification of the infrastructure required to deliver enterprise-class desktop and app virtualization.Įarlier this year we launched a Limited Availability program for Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure customers, and today we’re pleased to announce that Horizon Cloud next-gen is now Generally Available to all Horizon Cloud environments on Microsoft Azure! The future of VMware Horizon DaaS For us, “next-gen” represents a complete rewrite of the Horizon architecture that allows us to modernize every corner of the desktop and app virtualization infrastructure so many customers rely on, built entirely from the ground up. Last year at VMworld, we announced the VMware Horizon next-generation hybrid DaaS architecture.
