Horizon® Cloud Service™ modernizes virtual desktop and application delivery with a next‑generation hybrid desktop‑as‑a‑service (DaaS) platform. It is designed to scale desktops, control costs and simplify management across distributed environments. The platform uses an innovative cloud‑native architecture that minimizes infrastructure footprint, enhances stability and reduces maintenance overhead. Horizon Cloud enables organizations to rapidly scale VDI capacity, streamline day‑to‑day operations with Horizon Control Plane Services and gain deep visibility into their environments to troubleshoot and optimize performance. This flexible, hybrid‑ready solution supports on‑premises, hybrid and multi‑cloud deployment models, giving IT teams the agility to meet evolving digital workspace needs.

Features

Horizon® Edge™

A thin edge, deployed using Horizon Edge, reduces the footprint of the Horizon infrastructure by replacing pods with a single Edge Gateway.

Advanced automation

An API-driven architecture provides the ability to integrate additional tooling, services, and workflows, creating automation to support 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.
