Omnissa Horizon on Nutanix
The world of work has exploded in complexity. It’s no longer just about supporting people in the office—today, there are a myriad of work options. Hybrid work, frontline workers, offshore teams, regulated environments, and fully remote global talent must all be supported, making modern digital workspaces and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) more critical than ever—and more complicated to deploy. Organizations need the ability to deliver secure, high-performance desktop experiences – anytime, anywhere, on any device.
Omnissa and Nutanix redefine EUC with a flexible, secure solution that simplifies operations and enables seamless virtual desktop and app delivery across hybrid and multicloud environments.
Hybrid EUC Agility, Security, and Scalability
Traditionally, running VDI at scale required a patchwork of infrastructure components. Deploying Omnissa Horizon on Nutanix gives you agility and choice, including the ability to deploy a complete EUC environment in the datacenter, at the edge, in the public cloud, or at a certified Nutanix service provider. For on-premises and private cloud deployments, Nutanix can be deployed on hardware from all leading server vendors. Choose the native Nutanix AHV hypervisor for cost efficiency, or VMware ESXi should it be required. The solution is also supported on AWS.
No matter where you deploy, the Nutanix platform delivers:
- Integrated file services: File services are an essential part of most EUC deployments. The Nutanix Unified Storage solution eliminates the need to deploy and manage separate storage—with enterprise-grade features including ransomware and malware protection.
- Security and resilience: The Nutanix platform features rigorous authentication, role-based access control, auditing, and a customizable security dashboard. Built-in resilience features include a self-healing architecture, HA, and native data protection and DR. Nutanix Flow Network Security software delivers microsegmentation without management complexity.
- Scalability: Omnissa Horizon on Nutanix delivers consistent performance and seamless end-user computing. Scale from hundreds to thousands of users, regions, and platforms with ease.
Predictable Pricing for Maximum Value
Omnissa Horizon on Nutanix offers flexible pricing and clear visibility into usage, enabling predictable scaling and cost control for hybrid EUC deployments, eliminating the surprises that can arise when scaling EUC on traditional infrastructure. Nutanix VDI licensing offers per-user licensing with flexible terms up to five years. Licenses are portable across on-premises and public cloud environments, and Nutanix Unified Storage is provided on a per-user basis.
Combining the strengths of the Nutanix software-defined architecture and Omnissa’s proven benefits for EUC, this solution delivers strong ROI with simplified operations and flexible scaling, so you can start small, scale fast, and adapt to changing business needs.
