What is VMware vROps for Horizon?

Omnissa Horizon^® is one of the most popular choices for deploying virtual applications and desktops. Virtual applications and desktop deployments have unique requirements for monitoring, diagnosis, and reporting. Hence, there is a need for specialized solutions that provide Omnissa Horizon administrators with the dashboards, insights, and reports they need to effectively maintain their Omnissa Horizon deployments.

VMware vRealize® Operations for Horizon® extends the functionality of the VMware vRealize^® Operations Manager^™ to monitor and manage Omnissa Horizon environments. It collects data about key Omnissa Horizon components and presents that data in preconfigured dashboards for both real-time and predictive analysis.

End of Life for VMware vROps for Horizon

In August 2020, VMware announced that vROps for Omnissa Horizon is no longer going to be supported. This means organizations using Omnissa Horizon for delivering virtual apps and desktops will need to look for alternative ways to monitor their Omnissa Horizon deployments.

Requirements for Monitoring Omnissa Horizon Deployments

There are four key requirements for monitoring Omnissa Horizon:

Measure User Experience: The success of any VDI deployment hinges on user experience. Administrators need to be able to monitor all aspects of user experience proactively including user logon time, application launch time, screen latency, etc.
Monitor Every Layer, Every Horizon Tier: When user experience is poor, the immediate next question is "What is causing the issue?". To answer this question, it is imperative to monitor all of the Horizon tiers and the infrastructure tiers supporting the service - e.g., an Active Directory problem can result in slow Horizon logon.
Pinpoint the Root Cause of Problems: To take actions, administrators need help to figure out where the real problems lie. This must be done by analyzing performance across all the Horizon tiers.

eG Enterprise effectively monitors Omnissa Horizon deployments.

Right-Size and Optimize the Infrastructure: VDI administrators often have to cater to immediate business requirements. For instance, if 500 more users have to be accommodated, admins need to know how to optimize their infrastructure and where to add capacity.
