Rapid Deployment – Service Model
Horizon Cloud on Azure combines the management functionality of the Horizon Cloud Service control plane with the cost-saving capacities of Microsoft Azure. You can take advantage of the Horizon Cloud Service to manage your desktops and remote applications. This includes managing VDI and RDS-hosted applications on Microsoft Azure infrastructure, as well as the flexibility to choose the deployment option that best meets the needs of your organization or use cases.
Because Horizon Cloud is a native cloud service, there are clear lines drawn for management responsibilities. The customer provides the Azure tenant, AD, OS licenses, and image/apps. VMware manages the desktop virtualization infrastructure, while providing support, and Microsoft provides the underlying infrastructure.
