In this chapter, we were introduced to the VMware Horizon Unified Access Gateway, a feature of Horizon that uses a hardened, Linux-based appliance to provide Horizon customers with the ability to provide secure, remote access to Horizon desktops or applications.

We have learned what is required and how to deploy and configure a Horizon Unified Access Gateway, what the limits of a Unified Access Gateway are, and where the Unified Access Gateway fits within the Horizon infrastructure.

We have also discussed what resources are available to assist in troubleshooting a Horizon Unified Access Gateway, and how to obtain that information. We concluded the chapter by discussing the techniques used to update the configuration of a Horizon Unified Access Gateway.

In the next chapter, we will discuss how to deploy and configure a Horizon Cloud Pod, a feature of Horizon that enables us to create global Horizon entitlements that span multiple Horizon Pods.
