VMware Unified Access Gateway for Horizon Cloud Service on Microsoft Azure is a managed offering of the Unified Access Gateway. Unified Access Gateway directs authentication requests to the appropriate server and discards any unauthenticated request. Users can access only the resources that they are authorized to access. Unified Access Gateway also ensures that the traffic for an authenticated user can be directed only to desktop and application resources to which the user is actually entitled. This level of protection involves specific inspection of desktop protocols and coordination of potentially rapid changing policies and network addresses, to accurately control access. Unified Access Gateway provides the enterprise with strong assurance of the identity of the user, and precisely controls access to their entitled desktops and applications.
