  • Omnissa Horizon Cloud Service - next-gen
  • Horizon Cloud in Microsoft Azure

  If client systems connect from outside the corporate firewall, use an Omnissa Unified Access Gateway appliance so that client systems do not require a VPN connection. If your company has an internal wireless network to provide routable access to remote desktops that devices can use, you do not need to set up Unified Access Gateway or a VPN connection.
