For example, the Image Management Service can reduce operating system image count by enabling IT to manage and distribute desktop images centrally and automatically across different clouds and pods. Gaining access to the Horizon Control Plane cloud-hosted management services, such as image management and universal brokering, helps IT simplify their on-premises VDI and app management and cut down on operational costs. While Horizon Universal Subscription offers the most benefits for customers by providing access to all Horizon Control Plane services, the Horizon Standard Subscription provides a simple path for Horizon Standard on-premises customers to start using cloud-based management to optimize their existing deployment immediately. With the upgrade to Horizon Standard Subscription, no redeployment is needed for existing on-premises workloads and it’s easy to extend desktop and app workloads to the cloud if that’s what you want to do.

With Horizon Standard Subscription, IT can choose where to deploy their Horizon desktops and apps from a wide variety of cloud deployment options – including on-premises and public clouds. Let’s take a look at these new offerings in detail. Available today, these new offerings give customers more options with which to access these cloud-native VDI and app management capabilities. Today, we are excited to introduce two new Horizon subscription offerings with many of the same key features as the Horizon Universal Subscription: Horizon Standard Subscription and Horizon Apps Standard Subscription. In sum, customers can gain management efficiencies from the cloud for their on-premises environment and expand use cases and capacity to the cloud when they’re ready. The Horizon Universal Subscription also entitles on-premises customers to new cloud-enhanced use cases like disaster recovery and cloud bursting, while providing new hybrid and multi-cloud deployment options for desktops and apps across public and private clouds.

These services are designed to help customers simplify management and reduce operational costs for on-premises Horizon deployments. VMware’s Horizon Universal Subscription provides a great way for Horizon VDI and published apps customers to gain access to the innovative cloud management services hosted in the Horizon Control Plane.
