Streamlined access
The login process is simplified with the Single-Sign-On option. End users log in only once, and get access to all the desktops
and apps they need to do their jobs. No need to log in separately to each virtual desktop or app.
Easy access from any device
The software client app—VMware Horizon Client™—is available on your device of choice. To access your virtual desktops
and applications, you can connect to your VM from a Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Chromebook, or Android device. Or you
can use a web browser as an HTML client. Horizon Clients can be downloaded from my.vmware.com.

VMware Horizon Control Plane
Unifies and simplifies management across pods (multiple instances of Horizon configured for the cloud), providing
monitoring and management of images, applications, and lifecycles.
VMware Unified Access Gateway
Provides secure remote access to Horizon for users who are outside the corporate network to access their virtual desktops
and published applications, without using a VPN. For more information, see Introduction to Unified Access Gateway.
Horizon Connection Servers
Authenticates end users through Active Directory and securely connects them to the Horizon Agent, which has been
installed in the desktops and RDS Hosts. Manages sessions between users and their virtual desktops or published
applications. These published applications are hosted on Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH) virtual
machines (VMs). The Connection Server also includes the instant-clone engine, which provides single-image management
with automation capabilities.
Horizon Cloud Connector
The Horizon Cloud Connector is an appliance that connects your Horizon 7 or Horizon 8 implementations to the Horizon
Cloud Service. VMware Horizon can be delivered on-premises, or on a variety of public clouds built on both VMware vCloud
Foundation and cloud-native platforms. For high availability and disaster recovery purposes, you can also take a hybrid
approach and deploy on both on-premises and public cloud, and join the two.
VMware Horizon Agent
Allows the VM to be managed by Connection Servers, and allows a Horizon Client to form a protocol session to the VM. VMs
can be virtual desktops, Remote Desktop Session Hosts (RDS Host), physical desktops, or PCs.
VMware Workspace ONE® Access
An identity and access management solution that is included with Horizon, and provides your end users with an app catalog
to access Horizon desktops and apps, web apps, and SaaS apps through a browser. It is included with all versions of Horizon
as either a VMware-managed SaaS solution or a user-managed, on-premises deployment.
RDSH servers
Remote Desktop Session Host server farms and virtual desktop pools that are created from the golden image to provide
published applications and session-based remote desktops to your end users.
VMware vSphere®
The hypervisor that hosts the components of your Horizon architecture, including the server VMs, desktop VMs, RDSH
server VMs, and so on.
Conclusion
VMware Horizon is a software solution that makes delivery of virtualized desktops and apps easy and secure. You can use Horizon
for device redirection, unified communications, access to applications and desktops, and more. VMware Horizon provides easy
Single Sign-On access on any device, and deploys virtual desktops to any location. End users are free to work anywhere.
