Plan, design, and secure your virtual desktop environments with VMware Horizon 6 ViewAbout This Book
- Design a successful solution to deliver Windows desktops and applications as a service
- Provide redundancy for components and design a backup solution and disaster recovery plan to protect your investment and to keep your users productive
- A learn-by-example-based approach that focuses on key concepts to provide the foundation to solve real-world problems
Who This Book Is For
If you are a desktop architect, solution provider, end-user consultant, virtualization engineer, or anyone who wants to learn how to plan and design the implementation of a virtual desktop solution based on Horizon 6, then this book is for you. An understanding of VMware vSphere fundamentals coupled with experience in the installation or administration of a VMware environment would be a plus during reading.
What You Will Learn
- Learn the strategies and techniques needed to migrate your user population from a traditional physical desktop environment to a successful virtual desktop solution
- Plan the approach to deliver, protect, and manage Windows desktops and applications to ensure that users can work anytime, anywhere, on any device
- Decide whether to use persistent or nonpersistent vDesktops and understand the impact of both on the VDI environment
- Understand the choices around end devices such as thick clients, thin clients, and zero clients
- Size the VDI environment correctly to avoid slow logons, poor PCoIP performance, authentication problems, and other random failures
- Analyze all of the potential points of failure within a VDI and provide redundancy for each component
- Design a backup solution and/or disaster recovery plan to ensure a quick recovery in times of failure
