Overview of this book

VMware Horizon 7 has been a buzz since it was announced. One of the major reasons is the introduction of the new Instant Clones feature. This book will complement the product documentation by providing real-life examples of how it is implemented along with the latest features and components of the platform. We'll explore the latest features of the platform, including those added through product acquisitions such as User Environment Manager and App Volumes. Further on, you will also be introduced to the new capabilities added to the core product such Linked-Clone RDS pools. Upon completion of this book, you will have an understanding of the capabilities and benefits VMware Horizon can provide to your organization, and how each of its components are implemented.

Summary


In this chapter, you have been introduced to VMware VSAN, a software-defined storage platform that extends the capabilities of vSphere to provide storage for vSphere virtual machines.

First, we examined the VSAN requirements and limitations, and reviewed a simple VSAN sizing exercise.

Next, we reviewed the vSphere VSAN SPBM framework, which is used to control how VSAN resources are used. We learned how Horizon automatically creates and implements SPBM policies, based on the type of desktop being deployed.

In the remaining sections of the chapter, we reviewed how to configure our ESXi servers to work with VSAN, walked through the process used to enable VSAN on those hosts, and then examined what steps to take when creating a Horizon pool to ensure that it creates the VSAN SPBM policies.

In the next chapter, we will review VMware User Environment Manager, an optional feature of VMware Horizon used to manage and enable portability of users' persona data.
