Implementing Horizon Unified Access Gateway

VMware Horizon Unified Access Gateway (UAG), previously known as Access Point, is a core feature of the Horizon platform that enables secure remote access to applications and desktops, without the need to use a VPN connection or provide direct access from the internet to the Horizon Connection Server.
