Horizon Composer requires a minimum server configuration to ensure adequate performance and to properly support linked clone provisioning and maintenance operations. In this section we will focus on the hardware requirements, the supported OSs were already listed in Chapter 1, VMware Horizon Infrastructure Overview .
The Horizon Composer software has specific requirements with regard to the hardware specifications and host operating system. Horizon Composer may be installed on a dedicated virtual or physical server, or on an existing vCenter virtual or physical server. The vCenter Server Linux-based virtual appliance also supports Horizon Composer but requires that it be installed on a dedicated server.
The following table outlines both the minimum and recommended hardware specifications of a dedicated Horizon Composer server. Additionally, the server hosting Horizon Composer must have a static IP address.
