![]() On the end user’s system, Firefox is running seamlessly on their Windows client (screenshot below). ![]() In this screenshot of the admin console, you can see that Firefox on Linux is available as a published application. A closer look at Linux published apps in Horizon 8 This new and cost-effective option fulfills a major customer demand for Horizon for Linux. This feature brings significant value to customers, because supporting more sessions with fewer VMs leads to cost savings. Each published desktop or published application can support multiple user sessions at the same time. You can create published desktop pools and application pools based on farms of Linux virtual machines. This feature enables multi-session mode in the Horizon Agent for Linux so that different users can connect to their remote desktops or applications in one Linux VM at the same time. But no more! With Horizon 8, Linux virtualization customers now have parity with Windows RDSH customers. It’s a smorgasbord.īut Horizon customers who need to virtualize Linux just had the one option: a full Linux desktop running as a standalone VM. Or end uses can work with remote applications running seamlessly with their native applications, again backed by a range of platforms. You can set up your end users with full, immersive desktops that are running on vSphere, RDSH or perhaps even Azure. You can set up full VMs, offering stability and independence or you can run RDSH, with the promise of greater density. Horizon offers multiple options to customers who are remoting Windows. We think this is really going to help out a lot of customers. Back in August, we made a big announcement for Horizon-the debut of VMware Horizon 8! Today, I want to highlight one of the new features: support for Linux published apps.
