Book Description

If you are a desktop architect, solution provider, end-user consultant, virtualization engineer, or anyone who wants to learn how to plan and design the implementation of a virtual desktop solution based on Horizon 6, then this book is for you. An understanding of VMware vSphere fundamentals coupled with experience in the installation or administration of a VMware environment would be a plus during reading.

What you will learn

Learn the strategies and techniques needed to migrate your user population from a traditional physical desktop environment to a successful virtual desktop solution
Plan the approach to deliver, protect, and manage Windows desktops and applications to ensure that users can work anytime, anywhere, on any device
Decide whether to use persistent or nonpersistent vDesktops and understand the impact of both on the VDI environment
Understand the choices around end devices such as thick clients, thin clients, and zero clients
Size the VDI environment correctly to avoid slow logons, poor PCoIP performance, authentication problems, and other random failures
Analyze all of the potential points of failure within a VDI and provide redundancy for each component
Design a backup solution and/or disaster recovery plan to ensure a quick recovery in times of failure
