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.

A Horizon Security Server can support up to 2,000 simultaneous Horizon client connections, which is half the number that the Connection Server it connects to can support. Due to this, it is important to deploy multiple Security Servers so that both capacity and availability requirements are met.

Each Horizon Security Server is a stand-alone instance; therefore, there is no specific guidance with regard to how many can be deployed. A Horizon Security Server can only be paired with one Horizon Connection Server while a Connection Server can be paired with multiple Security Servers.

Keep in mind that the more Horizon Connection Servers you deploy, the more Security Servers you will need as well. For example, if you deploy the pod-maximum of 7 active Connection Servers, and intend to pair Security Servers with all of them, you should deploy 14 Security...
