Implementing VMware Horizon View 5.2
By :

One task that is critical to the success of any VMware Horizon View implementation is the initial research that will shape the design of the View infrastructure. Performing this research requires not only an understanding of the individual components of View, but also an in-depth understanding of what is required to move our end user computing resources from the desk into the datacenter.
This chapter will discuss a number of topics that play a critical role in our View design. We will discuss the different components of a View installation, examine the different license levels of View, and outline the core requirements of a View infrastructure. We will also discuss how to measure the resource requirements of a desktop, and how those requirements impact all layers of our infrastructure including the storage design, network design, and virtual desktop VMware vSphere host configuration.
In this chapter we will learn:
The individual components of a VMware Horizon View installation
The role of different components of VMware Horizon View
VMware Horizon View license options
Core infrastructure requirements for VMware Horizon View
Desktop operating system (OS) design considerations
How to measure desktop resource requirements
How to calculate the size of our virtual desktop vSphere hosts
View client network bandwidth requirements
The basics of running a VMware Horizon View pilot
