During the Nutanix .NEXT 2025 event (at Washington DC),  Omnissa, a leading digital work platform company, has announced a partnership with Nutanix, Inc. to bring Omnissa Horizon to the Nutanix AHV hypervisor. 

A great move to extend the supported hypervisor, now that Omnissa is an independent company and no more related to Broadcom/VMware.

This collaboration offers customers greater flexibility in deploying virtual desktops and applications and extends Horizon support across both public cloud environments and cutting-edge on-premises deployments.

“This collaboration with Nutanix reflects our ongoing commitment to giving customers greater control over how they deploy their virtual workspace platforms,” said Bharath Rangarajan, senior vice president of products and technology alliances at Omnissa. “From day one, Omnissa has prioritized flexibility—whether on-prem, in the cloud, or hybrid—by partnering with a broad ecosystem of cloud platform providers. This integration with Nutanix is another example of how Omnissa gives customers the flexibility to run Horizon on the infrastructure that best fits their needs.”

Organizations using Nutanix AHV now will have a seamless path to adopt Horizon and deliver secure, high-performance digital work experiences to their distributed workforces. The integration of Omnissa Horizon with Nutanix AHV will enable:

• Choice and flexibility: Customers can deploy Horizon on a modern hypervisor designed for hybrid end-user environments, including integration with Nutanix Cloud Platform.
• Operational simplicity: Nutanix cloud-like infrastructure management combined with app delivery from Horizon, including the unique app provisioning and management capabilities delivered by Omnissa App Volumes, helps IT teams reduce time and cost of VDI and app publishing operations at scale.
• Seamless hybrid and multi-cloud support: Organizations can run workloads across on-premises, private cloud, and public cloud environments through a unified platform that delivers consistency and control.
