VMware Horizon View: Components

Components for VMware Horizon View

Hi Friends,

In this post I'm going to explain you, how to use de VMware Horizon View components for create a VMware VDI Solution:

VMware Horizon View has three principals components: VMware View Connection Server, VMware Security Server and VMware View Composer.

• VMware View Connection Server: This server acts as a Broker for VMware View connections, this server authenticates the users through the Microsoft Active Directory.  The View Connection Server provides the following management capabilities:

          -  Authenticating Users

          -  Entitling users to specific desktops and pools.

          -  Assigning applications packaged with VMware ThinApp to specific desktops and pools.

          -  Managing local and remote dekstops sessions.

          -  Estabilshing secure connections between users and desktops.

          -  Enabling Single-Sign-On

          -  Setting and applying policies.

• VMware View Composer:  This server is neccesary for creating a pool desktop with Linked-Clone technology; this reduces storage cost.
