Implementing VMware Horizon 7.7 - Third Edition

By: Jason Ventresco

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.

Summary

In this chapter, you have been introduced to an important and powerful component of the Horizon installation: VMware Horizon Composer. You have learned about what is required to deploy Horizon Composer, what the limits of Composer are, and how to perform its installation and configuration.

We concluded this chapter by discussing how to restore the Horizon Composer database and RSA key container or SSL certificate, and how that process varies based on the recovery scenario.

In the next chapter, we will implement Horizon Security Server, the component of a Horizon installation that enables secure access to Horizon resources on your internal network from an external network, such as the internet.
