We will now discuss how View establishes a connection and how the View desktops work. The View connection is basically broken down into three components.
The View Agent that is installed on the VM, that is, the source for the desktops
The View Client that is installed on a remote PC, Mac, thin client, or other devices that are receiving the remote desktop
The last and third part is the View connector that acts as a connection broker and lets the View Client choose a View desktop, and connects it to the View Agent
The View Client will by default try to establish a direct connection between the View Client and the View Agent/desktop using either RDP or PCoIP as a desktop protocol. We will later learn how to configure a secure HTTPS or PCoIP Secure Gateway connection between them.
