This course provides comprehensive training on deploying and managing VMware Horizon 8 environments, focusing on key features, architecture, and the creation of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).
Management of desktop pools involves overseeing a collection of virtual desktops provided to users via a centralized server system. This allows IT administrators to efficiently setup, distribute, and maintain computing environments across an organization. Using technologies such as VMware Horizon 8, professionals can deploy and manage these virtual desktops, ensuring all users receive consistent access and performance whether working in-office or remotely. This centralized approach simplifies software updates, enhances security, and reduces hardware costs by allowing multiple employees to use streamlined desktop resources allocated from a single physical server.
Instant-clone desktop pools are a feature of VMware Horizon technology that allows IT administrators to quickly create and deploy copies of virtual desktops. Each clone is generated at the moment it's needed, utilizing a parent virtual desktop as the template. This means that when a user logs in, they receive a freshly minted desktop that is almost instantly available, enhancing resource efficiency and reducing overhead costs. This setup is particularly useful in environments needing to scale rapidly, such as educational labs or temporary work projects, ensuring all users have a consistent and controlled desktop experience.
RDS (Remote Desktop Services) desktop and application pools allow users to access virtual desktops and applications centrally managed on a server. Desktop pools group multiple virtual desktops that users can access, ensuring resources are efficiently used and personalized settings are maintained. Application pools refer to collections of software that users can run remotely without installing them on their own computers. This setup simplifies management, improves security, and allows for scalability, as resources can be adjusted based on user demand. It offers a cost-effective way to provide a consistent work environment from any location.
Horizon Connection Server is a key component of VMware Horizon 8, responsible for managing desktop virtualization. It acts as the central hub that connects users to their virtual desktops. The server handles user authentication, desktop session management, and overall administration of the desktop infrastructure. It enables IT administrators to deploy and manage virtual desktop environments efficiently, ensuring that users can securely access their virtualized desktops and applications from any device, at any time. This server optimizes resources and delivers a consistent user experience across various locations and devices.
Workspace ONE Access, part of VMware's digital workspace platform, is a solution that simplifies access to enterprise applications across any device. It integrates with VMware Horizon to provide a secure and efficient way to manage and deliver virtual desktops and apps, enhancing user convenience and IT control. Workspace ONE Access offers single sign-on capabilities, enabling users to access multiple applications with one set of credentials, improving productivity and security. It is essential for businesses aiming to centralize their IT services and ensure easy, secure access for all users, regardless of their location or device.
Virtual application management involves overseeing and controlling applications that are not installed directly on a user's computer but are accessed and run remotely. This technology allows for centralized control, which simplifies administration, enhances security, and reduces costs by minimizing the need for local software maintenance. Operations such as software updates and patch management can be efficiently handled from a central location, ensuring consistency and reliability across the entire organization. This setup is especially beneficial in environments where multiple users need access to the same applications, like large businesses or educational institutions, making it crucial for effective workspace management.
Managing VMware Horizon security involves safeguarding your virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) against threats and ensuring data integrity. This encompasses configuring secure access credentials, implementing role-based access controls to limit user capabilities based on their job requirements, and encrypting data transfers to prevent unauthorized data interception. Regularly updating and patching your VMware Horizon 8 environment is crucial to protect against vulnerabilities. Also, incorporating strong network security practices, like firewalls and intrusion detection systems, ensures that both the VDI and underlying network infrastructure are defended against attacks, securing virtual desktops both at rest and in transit.
VMware Horizon 8 is a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) software that allows IT departments to run virtual desktops and applications in the datacenter and deliver them to users remotely. This enables centralized management, providing a consistent and secure experience across devices and locations. VMware Horizon 8 simplifies the deployment and management of these virtual environments, enhancing efficiency and reducing the necessity for physical hardware. By using Horizon 8, organizations can effectively deploy and manage large-scale virtual desktop infrastructures while offering end-users a seamless interaction with their virtual desktops and applications from anywhere.
Horizon virtual desktops, provided by VMware, allow users to access a personal computer's desktop and applications from various devices through a centralized server. Configuration involves setting up these virtual desktop environments on the server. Management includes maintaining the system's performance, managing user access, ensuring security, and updating software. This setup helps organizations enhance flexibility, secure data, and reduce hardware costs by centralizing resources and management. VMware Horizon 8 offers tools to deploy and effectively manage these virtual environments, streamlining the creation and distribution of virtual desktops and applications to end-users.
