A year of innovation in Horizon Cloud. * Last updated 05/22/2026 Over the past 12 months, Omnissa, LLC has continued to evolve Horizon Cloud with a clear goal of making it: easier to deploy, more flexible to operate, and capable of running workloads across more environments than ever before. From streamlined onboarding to expanded infrastructure support - and new operational capabilities, the pace of innovation reflects its ongoing investment in helping customers deliver secure virtual desktops and applications anywhere. Here's a look back at some of the major milestones from the past year. Faster time to value. One of the most significant enhancements this year was the introduction of Express Onboarding. This capability streamlines the deployment process, reducing the time and complexity required to get started with Horizon Cloud. By simplifying initial setup and automating key steps, Express Onboarding helps organizations accelerate their path from deployment to production, making it easier to evaluate, pilot, and scale Horizon Cloud environments. Omnissa, LLC also introduced Horizon Cloud on Azure Standard, a new offering designed to provide greater flexibility in how customers purchase and deploy Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure. This option expands subscription choices and offers a more cost-effective entry point for organizations delivering single-session or multi-session desktops and applications in Azure. By aligning packaging and licensing more closely with common deployment patterns, Horizon Cloud on Azure Standard helps customers optimize costs while maintaining the full Horizon experience for delivering secure, cloud-hosted desktops and apps. Customers interested in trialing Horizon Cloud on Azure can do so on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. Together, these improvements focused on a core objective: helping customers realize value faster while reducing operational friction. Greater flexibility and operational control. Another major milestone was the introduction of Self-Managed Pools, which expand how organizations can deliver desktops through Horizon Cloud. With this capability, customers can bring existing desktops under Horizon Cloud management and brokering while maintaining control over the underlying infrastructure and lifecycle operations. This provides new flexibility for phased migrations, specialized workloads, and environments where infrastructure control remains a priority. Omnissa, LLC also introduced Linux desktop support on Microsoft Azure, including support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Ubuntu Server in single-session desktop configurations. These desktops support both pay-as-you-go and bring-your-own-subscription licensing models, enabling organizations to deliver developer workspaces, engineering environments, and other Linux-based use cases alongside Windows workloads within the same Horizon Cloud environment. For service providers and managed service partners, Omnissa, LLC introduced the Horizon Cloud Partner Admin Console (PAC), a multi-tenant management interface that allows MSPs and resellers to oversee all customer tenants from a single UI, rather than navigating separate environments one at a time. With role-based access controls and cross-tenant visibility into session activity and connection health, the PAC is purpose-built for partners delivering Horizon Cloud as a managed service at scale. Another addition is the introduction of Horizon Cloud Cost Insights, a new capability that gives administrators direct visibility into Azure desktop infrastructure spending, including actual incurred costs, potential costs, and estimated savings, surfaced directly within the Horizon Universal Console at both the deployment and pool group level. This makes it easier to pinpoint where spend is concentrated and validate whether cost-saving power management policies are actually working. Complementing this, a beta feature is also available that delivers data-driven recommendations based on observed historical usage, helping administrators proactively reduce over-provisioning and idle resource consumption across Azure desktop pools. These capabilities significantly broaden the range of workloads Horizon Cloud can support, while giving customers greater visibility and control over how they operate and optimize their environments. Expanding infrastructure choice. A major focus over the past year has been expanding where Horizon Cloud can run. Omnissa, LLC introduced a tech preview integration with Platform9, enabling Horizon Cloud workloads to run on Platform9 Private Cloud Director environments. This approach allows organizations to deliver VDI workloads on private cloud infrastructure while benefiting from high availability, live migration, and modern cloud management capabilities. It also reflects a broader strategy to give customers more infrastructure choice and flexibility. Omnissa, LLC also announced Horizon Cloud OpenStack Edge, currently in beta, which enables desktop and application workloads to run on OpenStack-based infrastructure. This capability is particularly relevant for sovereign cloud providers, service providers, and organizations with regulatory or data-sovereignty requirements, allowing them to deliver Horizon-based services on open infrastructure while still benefiting from the Horizon Cloud control plane. In parallel, Omnissa, LLC continued to expand AWS and multi-cloud deployment options, providing customers with more ways to run Horizon workloads on native cloud infrastructure and hybrid environments. These efforts reinforce Horizon Cloud's role as a unified control plane that spans clouds, private infrastructure, and hybrid deployments. Omnissa, LLC also announced a tech preview of Horizon Cloud on Nutanix, extending the Horizon Cloud control plane to run on Nutanix AHV-based hyperconverged infrastructure. This builds on the broader Omnissa-Nutanix partnership, which reached a significant milestone with the GA of Horizon 8 on Nutanix AHV and brings cloud-managed desktop delivery to organizations already running or considering Nutanix as their infrastructure foundation. Looking ahead. The pace of innovation in Horizon Cloud isn't slowing down. Each of these investments is designed to help organizations adapt to evolving workforce needs, support a wider range of workloads, and deploy virtual desktops and applications in the environments that best meet their requirements. As Omnissa, LLC move through 2026, customers can expect continued advancements that build on this foundation, further expanding flexibility, improving operational simplicity, and extending Horizon Cloud to new platforms and use cases. The past 12 months has been an exciting one for Horizon Cloud, and the year ahead promises even more innovation.

Omnissa achieves FedRAMP High authorization for Workspace ONE. * Last updated 05/18/2026 The Omnissa Government Services (OGS) team is excited to share that the OGS FedRAMP High environment received a Federal agency Authorization to Operate (ATO) on March 20, 2026. This authorization allows the environment to operate at the FedRAMP High impact level and support Workspace ONE's existing production workloads for U.S. government customers. FedRAMP, or the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, is a U.S. government-wide program that establishes standardized security, risk assessment, and continuous monitoring requirements for cloud service providers. It enables federal agencies to adopt cloud technologies more efficiently while ensuring sensitive government data is protected through rigorous, independently validated security controls. Achieving FedRAMP authorization is a critical requirement for cloud solutions used by federal agencies - and one of the highest bars for cloud security in the industry. Since earning its first FedRAMP Moderate authorization in 2016, Workspace ONE has helped customers in highly regulated environments securely manage devices and deliver applications at scale. FedRAMP Moderate supports workloads involving controlled, but less sensitive, government data. That foundation expanded with the move to FedRAMP High in 2023, which is designed for the most sensitive unclassified data - where a security breach could have severe or catastrophic impact to government operations. Now, with this latest FedRAMP High ATO, Omnissa aligns the authorization fully under the Omnissa brand and positions Omnissa to use the authorized system to meet other public sector requirements. This milestone reinforces its ongoing commitment to delivering industry-leading digital workspace solutions for organizations with the most demanding security, resilience, and compliance requirements. "We see ourselves as a long-term partner to the federal government - not just a technology provider. Our investments in compliance, resilience, and digital experience are designed to support agencies today while preparing them for what comes next," says Zack Zimmerman, vice president of Omnissa Federal. FedRAMP isn't the finish line. Omnissa, LLC continue to expand its compliance footprint to meet the evolving needs of public sector customers. To broaden access beyond federal agencies, Omnissa, LLC is making its FedRAMP services available to state, local, tribal, and education (SLED) organizations through a recently approved GovRAMP authorization. You can find the Omnissa Government Services (OGS) listing on the GovRAMP Authorized Products List (APL). Omnissa, LLC is also working closely with the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) to obtain a Provisional Authorization to Operate (P-ATO) at Impact Level 4 (IL4) in order to make its FedRAMP-authorized services available to Department of Defense (DoD) customers. The system has recently received approvals to connect to the DISA Boundary Cloud Access Point (BCAP) - an important step toward final IL4 authorization. Authorized users can review these approvals on the DOD Cloud Authorization Services (DCAS) website. FedRAMP High authorization enables customers to use Workspace ONE to meet related compliance requirements, including CMMC and the protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). It also marks a key milestone for Omnissa: Omnissa, LLC has achieved CMMC Level 2 authorization for its own internal use, leveraging its FedRAMP-authorized system to protect CUI - demonstrating its commitment to the same standards Omnissa, LLC deliver for its customers. To support federal and highly regulated organizations, Omnissa, LLC has introduced new Workspace ONE Essentials SKUs that are FedRAMP-aligned for government use. These offerings include the same functionality as the commercial Workspace ONE Essentials SKUs but are designed to run exclusively within its FedRAMP High-authorized boundary. By packaging its capabilities into dedicated FedRAMP SKUs, agencies can adopt Workspace ONE and the Omnissa platform with confidence while meeting stringent regulatory requirements. Omnissa, LLC is excited to continue building trusted solutions for organizations with the most demanding regulatory requirements.
