Chapter 3. Implementing Horizon Composer

VMware Horizon Composer is a feature of Horizon that enables the rapid provisioning of linked clone virtual desktops. A pool of linked clone desktops shares the same master image and writes any changes to a dedicated virtual hard disk, also known as a delta disk.
