Furthermore, a Linux node stays behind as brokering service to the Control Plane and your Virtual Applications and Desktops as well. The Engine will automatically be removed after a successful deployment. This is a Linux Virtual Machine that will be used as a sort of relay server of the Horizon Cloud to deploy all the workload in Azure.
A simplified, and an automated wizard will help you with the connection to Azure, and a temporary Deployment (JumpBox – sandbox) Engine will be placed in your Azure Infrastructure-As-a-Service environment. After succeeding this, you’ll receive access to the Horizon Cloud control plane – or also known as the Astro GUI – where all the magic happens. You first purchase the service at your VMware CSP or Sales representative – the service is unfortunately not yet available from the Azure Marketplace. The architecture picture – Horizon Cloud works pretty straightforward and simple.
All the other management tasks are all taken place from the Horizon Cloud Control Place – mostly automated – without user interaction. Some of them need to be managed by yourself, but talking about the Azure variant – your Virtual Desktops images are your own responsibility and will be placed in Microsoft Azure Infrastructure-As-a-Service (IaaS). Horizon Cloud delivers different options to deliver your Workspaces. With the latest Horizon Cloud on Azure product support in particular. VMware Horizon Cloud is one upcoming player in this field, rapidly growing and increased their product stack in the past 3 years – resulted in doubling their market share. And I must admit, Horizon Cloud is doing great steps so far – I’m very impressed after implementing the solution on my own Azure subscription. It’s no longer cool to have a fully functionating Remote Desktop or VDI environment, there are much more things involved right now to make a real difference on the workspace market and all the vendors are fighting to have the best Virtual Desktop solution on a Cloud, or better say, multi-cloud perspective. “The end of ‘Fashion-IT’ - customers will only pay for value and not technology.”Ĭustomers just aren’t impressed anymore by simple and small improvements and flashy lights.
