An instant-clone desktop pool is an automated desktop pool created from a golden image using the vmFork technology (called instant clone API) in the vCenter Server. In addition to using the instant clone API from the vCenter Server, Horizon 7 also creates several types of internal VMs (Internal Template, ReplicaVM, and ParentVM) to manage these clones in a more scalable way. Instant clones share […]
After creating a virtual machine that you plan to use as a golden image, configure the Windows environment.Verify that you prepared a virtual machine to use for deploying remote desktops. See Creating a Virtual Machine for Cloning. The golden image can either belong to the same Active Directory domain as the domain that the desktop machines will join or be […]
In the context of VMware Horizon, a Replica Server is typically used in an environment with multiple Connection Servers for high availability and load balancing. The Replica Server maintains a copy of the LDAP directory and configuration data from the primary Connection Server. If the primary Connection Server fails, one of the Replica Servers can take over, helping to ensure […]
The initial configurations for VMware Horizon involve setting up essential components to create a virtual desktop infrastructure.
The installation and configuration of VMware Horizon involve several steps, and the process can vary based on the specific deployment requirements and components you choose to implement. In this video a general outline of the steps involved in installing and configuring VMware Horizon.
Architecting a VMware Horizon deployment involves designing and configuring the infrastructure to deliver virtual desktops and applications effectively.
VMware Horizon supports hardware-based graphics acceleration to enhance the performance and user experience of virtual desktops and applications. Here are some key aspects related to hardware-based graphics in VMware Horizon:NVIDIA GRID vGPU (Virtual Graphics Processing Unit)VMware vDGA (Virtual Direct Graphics Acceleration)VMware vSGA (Virtual Shared Graphics Acceleration)
VMware Horizon supports multiple display protocols that facilitate the delivery of virtual desktops and applications to end-user devices. These protocols are designed to optimize the user experience, taking into account factors such as network conditions and the type of device being used. Here are some of the key display protocols used in VMware Horizon:PCoIP (PC-over-IP)Blast ExtremeMicrosoft RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol)HTML […]
