Have More Questions?

What hypervisors does Horizon support?

Horizon View is designed to be run on VMware vSphere, VMware’s own hypervisor, which offers a robust, secure, and highly scalable foundation for your virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). While Horizon cannot presently run natively on public clouds, it is possible nonetheless to get Horizon running on cloud platforms.  For organizations looking to utilize different virtualization platforms including public clouds, Ferroque can provide guidance on the most appropriate platform to use.

How can Ferroque Systems help optimize my Horizon View deployment for performance?
Ferroque employs vendor best practices, field experience, and advanced tools to optimize your Horizon View deployment for maximum performance and use case requirements. Our services include health checks, performance tuning, resource optimization, and proactive monitoring, ensuring that your VDI environment delivers a seamless and efficient user experience.
What security features does Horizon offer?

Horizon provides robust security features, including end-to-end encryption, multi-factor authentication, client redirection restrictions, session recording, and network isolation. These features help protect sensitive data and comply with industry regulations. Ferroque can help customize these security settings to meet your specific organizational requirements.

What remoting protocols does VMware Horizon View support?
Horizon View supports several remoting protocols to ensure a seamless and efficient virtual desktop experience. The primary protocol is PCoIP (PC-over-IP), which provides high-quality, secure, and highly compressed remote display capabilities. Additionally, Horizon View supports Blast Extreme, a protocol optimized for mobile and low-bandwidth environments, utilizing HTML5 to allow access from web browsers. RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) is also supported for compatibility with Windows-based virtual desktops. These protocols allow Horizon View to deliver a flexible, high-performance user experience across various network conditions and client devices.
Can Horizon View run on public clouds?
Yes, Horizon View can be deployed on public clouds, offering organizations the flexibility to extend their virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) beyond on-premises data centres. Horizon View supports integration with major cloud platforms that offer support for the VMware vSphere ESXi hypervisor. These include VMware Cloud on AWS, Azure VMware Solution, Google Cloud Platform’s VMware Engine service, and IBM Cloud. Additionally, Horizon View can run on Amazon Workspaces Core. These capabilities enable businesses to leverage the scalability, flexibility, and global reach of public clouds while maintaining the control and familiarity of the Horizon View VDI solution. Utilizing Horizon View in the cloud can simplify management, improve accessibility for remote workers, and reduce the physical infrastructure’s overhead.
What application virtualization capabilities does Horizon View offer?
Horizon View leverages ThinApp and App Volumes features for sophisticated application virtualization, enabling dynamic and efficient application delivery. ThinApp packages applications into isolated containers, ensuring compatibility and reducing conflicts, while App Volumes allows for real-time application delivery using virtual disks, without modifying the base virtual machine. This setup is enhanced by user environment management for personalized access and policies, and the use of Instant Clone technology for rapid provisioning. Together, these technologies provide a scalable, secure, and flexible platform for managing and delivering applications across virtual desktop environments.
When should I use ThinApp and when should I use App Volumes?

Choosing between ThinApp and App Volumes depends on specific application virtualization requirements:

  • ThinApp is ideal for isolating applications to avoid conflicts, making legacy applications compatible with newer operating systems, and creating portable applications that can run from any location without installation. Use ThinApp when you need zero-footprint applications that leave no residue on the host system.
  • App Volumes is suited for environments requiring real-time application delivery to desktops without needing reboots or logoffs, centralized application management, and the ability to scale rapidly. It’s particularly effective for delivering personalized application stacks to users in dynamic VDI environments, such as those managed with Horizon View.

Selecting ThinApp or App Volumes is guided by whether your priority is on application isolation and portability (ThinApp) or dynamic delivery and management of applications at scale (App Volumes).
