Overview of this book

This third edition of Implementing VMware Horizon 7.7 has been updated to get you up to speed with VMware Horizon 7.7 by showing you how to use its key features and deploying an end-user computing infrastructure for your own organization. The book begins by guiding you on how to deploy all the core requirements for a VMware Horizon infrastructure. It then moves on to show you how to provision and administer end-user computing resources using VMware Horizon. You’ll not only be able to deploy the core VMware Horizon features, but you’ll also be able to implement new features, such as the Just-in-Time Management Platform (JMP) and the Horizon Console. You’ll also focus on the latest features and components of the Horizon platform and learn when and how they are used. By the end of the book, you will have developed a solid understanding of how your organization can benefit from the capabilities VMware Horizon offers and how each of its components is implemented.

Limits of Horizon Composer

A single Horizon Composer instance can support only one vCenter Server. A single vCenter Server can support up to 10,000 desktops, which is the maximum number of desktops supported in a single Horizon Pod. As a result, while Horizon can support multiple vCenter Servers, each with its own dedicated Horizon Composer instance, only one of each is actually required to manage up to the maximum number of desktops supported in a single Horizon Pod.

If you still wish to have multiple vCenter Servers in your Horizon environment, you will need multiple instances of Horizon Composer as a single instance can service only one vCenter Server. Each additional instance of Horizon Composer will also require its own database, as the databases cannot be shared between Horizon Composer instances.
