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.

Preface

Desktop pool common terms


There are a number of options that must be selected when creating a Horizon desktop pool. Understanding what these options mean is important, as they will impact not only on how the desktops are deployed, but also on what options users have when they attempt to access those desktops.

Later on in the chapter, we will go through the deployment of two different desktop pools, but prior to that it is important to familiarize yourself with some of the terminologies that will come up during that process. Once you understand these terms, you will be able to create any type of desktop pool, something which we cannot demonstrate in this book due to the sheer number of options that exist.
