VMware Horizon is a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solution that allows organizations to deliver virtualized or remote desktops and applications to end-users. It provides a platform for managing and delivering virtual desktops and applications from a central location to end-user devices, allowing for greater flexibility, security, and ease of management.
VDI stands for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure. It is a technology that allows users to access and use a virtualized desktop environment hosted on a centralized server or data center. In a VDI setup, each user gets a dedicated virtual machine (VM) that runs an operating system (OS) and applications. These virtual desktops are hosted on powerful servers and can be […]
VMware vSphere is a virtualization platform that provides a comprehensive suite of virtualization products for creating, managing, and optimizing virtualized environments. Here are some key components and features of VMware vSphere:
What is Virtualization, and how many types of Virtualization exist? Virtualization is a technology that enables the simultaneous execution of multiple operating systems and programs on a single piece of hardware. This technology is implemented by software called a ‘hypervisor’ or ‘virtualization monitor,’ which allows the execution of multiple virtual machines (VMs). Each VM can independently run a different operating […]
We can create a pool of desktop machines by cloning a vCenter Server VM. Before we create the desktop pool, we need to prepare and configure this VM, which is used to spawn cloned virtual desktops. For instant-clone desktop pools, the base image is called a golden image. For full-clone desktop pools, the base image is called a Template VM. […]
With Horizon, you can create desktop pools that include thousands of virtual desktops. You can deploy desktops that run on virtual machines (VMs) or manage access to desktops that run on non-vSphere machines or physical machines. Create one VM as a golden image, and Horizon can generate a pool of virtual desktops from that image. The golden image is also […]

In SQL Server Management Studio, right-click on Database and select New Database. Step 03. Fill in the name a Name for the database (HCSEVENT) andleave […]
Before you deploy instant clones, you must create a user account that has permission to perform certain operations in Active Directory.Select this account when you add an instant-clone domain administrator before deploying instant-clone desktop pools. Active Directory Delegation for Instant Clones Step 01. Create an OU in Active Directory where the Horizon Agent Computer Objects want to store. Step 02. […]

To use vCenter Server with VMware Horizon, you must also configure a user account with appropriate vCenter Server privileges. You can create a vCenter Server role with the appropriate privileges and assign that role to the vCenter Server user account. Configure a vCenter Server User for VMware Horizon Step 01. In vSphere Web Client, click the menu icon and then […]
