Omnissa Horizon 8 - Architectural Overview!
The core components of Horizon include a Horizon Client authenticating to a Connection Server, which brokers connections to virtual desktops and apps. The Horizon Client then forms a protocol session connection to a Horizon Agent running in a virtual desktop, RDSH server or physical machine. The protocol session can also be configured to be tunneled via the Connection Server, although this is not generally recommended as it makes the ongoing session dependent on the Connection Server.
External access includes the use of Unified Access Gateway to provide secure edge services. The Horizon Client authenticates to a Connection Server through the Unified Access Gateway. The Horizon Client then forms a protocol session connection, through the gateway service on the Unified Access Gateway to a Horizon Agent running in a virtual desktop or RDSH server.
