Are you ready to get started with Horizon Cloud?

Learn how to:

• Locate useful information from your Welcome email to log in to your tenant environment for the first time.
• Deploy your first Horizon Cloud pod into Microsoft Azure.
• Connect your VMware Horizon pods to your Horizon Cloud tenant. Cloud connecting a VMware Horizon pod provides both for using the subscription benefits of your Horizon universal license with that VMware Horizon pod as well as leveraging the power of the cloud-hosted services that Horizon Cloud provides for cloud-connected pods.
• Leverage Horizon Universal Broker — the cloud-brokering technology that enables unified brokering of desktop and application assignments across both hybrid and multi-cloud Horizon deployments using a single connection FQDN for end users to access their desktops and applications.
• Use Horizon Cloud with managed infrastructure from VMware (VMware Horizon Cloud Service on IBM Cloud). note*
