Using Horizon Accelerator

Horizon Accelerator is an add-on SKU to the Horizon Universal License subscriptions.

Horizon Accelerator provides you with ongoing day-0 to day-2 support to your Horizon Cloud environment and the ability to gain insights and visibility into your environment.

With Horizon Accelerator, you gain a faster time to value and eliminate complexity and the learning curve around your VDI environment. The dedicated VDI expertise augments your IT staff and eases the burden of day-0 through day-2 operations.

You access the Horizon Accelerator features in the Control Center, within the Horizon Universal Console.

Requirements

When the licensing associated with your Horizon Cloud environment entitles you to use Horizon Accelerator, the Horizon Universal Console displays Accelerator in the left-pane navigation.

As new features are released, they become automatically available.

To verify the licenses associated with your environment, use the console's Subscriptions page. To use Horizon Accelerator, your environment requires:

• A Horizon subscription that provides for add-on SKUs.
• Horizon Accelerator license.
• You have onboarded to Horizon Cloud.

Horizon Accelerator Control Center

With this control center, you gain insights and visibility into the resources within the providers that are configured with your Horizon Cloud environment, while at the same time avoiding the need to log into each provider's UI or portal and examine each individual resource.

• Operational insights

  The Operational Insights view provides actionable insights and on-screen guidance into resources within the provider that you might adjust to reduce operational costs.

  Each resource-related area highlights issues that might exist, and reveals opportunities for optimization.

• Infrastructure resources insights

  The Provider Resources view works in tandem with the Operational Insights view to provide visibility into the provider resources.

  This ability to gain visibility to the state of the provider resources can be especially helpful for your Horizon Cloud environment's administrators who might not have access to the provider's portal.

  Within the Provider Resources view is a feature for exporting resource data into a downloadable file format. A refresh feature provides for obtaining the data for the moment you want to see it.
