In this chapter, we covered various ways to implement load balancing and HA for a VMware Horizon View environment. We discussed the advantages and disadvantages of each method of DNS load balancers, Windows load balancers, and software/hardware load balancers. We examined the port VMware Horizon View uses for load balancing. We also examined the scenarios of failure and how the environment will behave for each incident.

In the next chapter, we will cover HA planning for floating and dedicated pools. We will discuss the basics of how to plan for host failures and maintain the VMs in each pool type.
