Book Description
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
