help VMware Horizon FAQ
Is VMware Horizon still owned and branded by VMware?
The end-user computing business separated from VMware and now operates as Omnissa. Current releases use the name Omnissa Horizon, although many organizations still refer to existing deployments as VMware Horizon.
What is the difference between Horizon and an ordinary virtual machine?
A normal hypervisor runs a VM on one host, while Horizon brokers remote access to centrally managed desktops and applications. Administrators can deliver Windows or Linux sessions to users through Horizon clients or a browser.
What are Horizon Instant Clones used for?
Instant Clones rapidly create standardized virtual desktops from a managed parent image. This allows an IT team to update or replace large desktop pools without maintaining every VM as a separate long-lived installation.
Can Horizon be deployed outside an on-premises VMware vSphere environment?
Yes, Horizon offerings support on-premises infrastructure and cloud environments such as Microsoft Azure and VMware Cloud on AWS. The available architecture and licensing depend on whether an organization chooses Horizon 8 or Horizon Cloud.
