Omnissa rebrands VMware Horizon: what IT teams need to know. Following the Broadcom acquisition spin-off, Omnissa charts a new path for the popular Horizon VDI platform. Omnissa - the company formed from Broadcom's spin-off of VMware's End-User Computing division - has completed its rebranding of VMware Horizon to Omnissa Horizon, effective Q1 2026. The rebrand brings new licensing terms, a refreshed support portal, and an updated roadmap centered on AI-powered session management and unified endpoint management (UEM) integration. For existing VMware Horizon customers, the transition is largely transparent at the software level. However, support contracts, portal access credentials, and renewal pathways are now routed through Omnissa's new partner ecosystem rather than Broadcom's enterprise agreement structure. Organizations using Horizon through a Broadcom ELA should verify their entitlements directly with Omnissa by March 2026. The Omnissa Horizon 8 2503 release introduces adaptive graphics rendering that reduces GPU overhead in multi-session desktop pools by up to 22%, according to internal benchmark data. Compare Select is tracking this release for inclusion in its Q2 2026 VDI comparison report.

Organizations across retail and highly distributed frontline environments use Omnissa DEX to proactively improve reliability, reduce support overhead, and keep employees productive at scale. * ASDA, one of the UK's largest grocery retailers, used Omnissa Workspace ONE(R) and Omnissa Intelligence to support the migration and ongoing management of 55,000 devices across more than 600 locations.
