Desktops and Applications in Omnissa Horizon 8

This guide is specific to the Horizon 8 2309 release.

If your Horizon 8 deployment is for a version different from 2309, please use the guide specific for your deployment's version. For Horizon 8 versions later than 2309, use the Version selector at the top of this page to select another version.

Please note: Starting with this 2309 release, the two previously separate Windows and Linux Desktops and Applications guides were merged into this single guide here named Desktops and Applications in Omnissa Horizon 8.

You can also deploy pools of desktops and applications running on multi-session hosts such as Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS).

Intended Audience

This information is intended for anyone who wants to create and provision desktop and application pools. The information is written for experienced Windows and Linux system administrators who are familiar with virtual machine technology and datacenter operations.
