EUCD8 Training for Your Team — Omnissa End-User Computing: Design
Most VDI problems are design problems that waited. The estate that cannot survive a site failure, the storage that saturates at month-end login storms, the image architecture that made every application update a project — none of these were operational mistakes; they were decisions nobody consciously made at design time. Omnissa End-User Computing: Design is the course for making those decisions deliberately.
It teaches a structured design method across the Omnissa EUC stack — the former VMware EUC portfolio: translating business requirements into architecture, sizing from workload profiles rather than optimism, availability and recovery design with honest cost trade-offs, and image and application strategy set before deployment rather than discovered after. This is an expert-level course; operational fluency with Horizon is the entry ticket, and the output skill is a design that survives review.
We organize delivery through authorized partners with instructors who produce EUC designs professionally — live online in your time zone, on site, or as a private group built around a design case close to your own project.
Who this course is for
- Senior EUC engineers stepping up from operating estates to designing them
- Architects responsible for a new VDI platform or a major redesign
- Consultants and integrator teams producing Horizon designs for customers
- Platform owners who must defend sizing and availability decisions to management
What your team will learn
Topic areas below are grouped in our own words. The full official agenda is available on request — it comes from the authorized partner as part of your quote.
- A design method that starts from business requirements, not from the products
- Sizing and capacity: turning user counts and workload profiles into infrastructure numbers
- Availability design — multi-pod, multi-site and what the recovery objective really costs
- Image and application strategy: deciding the golden-image and app-delivery architecture up front
- Security and compliance as design inputs, not post-deployment patches
- Documenting decisions so the design survives contact with the implementation team

EUCD8 vs alternatives: which to choose
Factual criteria only — level, duration, audience and certification. The right choice depends on your team's starting point and stack.
Omnissa Horizon 8: Deploy and Manage (HDM8)
The implementation-level platform course. Choose HDM8 for engineers who build and operate; the Design course assumes that operational fluency and works one level up — requirements, sizing, availability and the decisions made before anything is installed.
Omnissa Horizon 8: Infrastructure Administration and Troubleshooting (HIAT8)
Advanced administration of the infrastructure layer as it exists. Choose HIAT8 to run and scale a live estate; choose Design when the task is producing the architecture — a new deployment, a consolidation or a formal design document.
A custom intensive
Facing one concrete design decision — a two-site DR architecture, a 5,000-seat sizing exercise? A custom design workshop with a senior architect can work your actual project instead of a generic case study.
Need only part of EUCD8?
If your team needs a subset of this program — or a mix of topics from several courses — we build a custom 2–4 day intensive on our own materials, shaped by your infrastructure. One custom program typically replaces 2–3 catalog courses.
Explore custom coursesEUCD8: frequently asked questions
Is this a technical course or an architecture course?
An architecture course for technical people. It assumes you already know how Horizon and the surrounding EUC components work, and teaches the layer above: gathering requirements, making and justifying design decisions, sizing, availability trade-offs and producing documentation an implementation team can execute.
What experience should participants bring?
Broad hands-on EUC experience — Horizon administration at minimum, ideally exposure to App Volumes, DEM and Unified Access Gateway. The course exercises are design cases; participants without operational background lack the raw material the method works with.
Does the course use a case-study format?
Yes — design exercises run through realistic scenarios from requirements to documented architecture, typically in group work with instructor review. That format is the point: design skill comes from making and defending decisions, not from memorizing reference architectures.
This was a VMware course track — what does Omnissa change?
The end-user-computing portfolio, Horizon included, moved from VMware to Omnissa as an independent company. Design principles, platform architecture and skills carry over; the course and related certifications are simply maintained under the Omnissa name today.
