VDI Differences Talk with Citrix XenDesktop 7 and VMware View 5.2

Hola a todos! Ayer dimos una charla en la SemanaIT sobre los entornos VDI que tenemos actualmente, un webinar donde vimos lo que tiene cada fabricante en sus versiones actuales, a little comparing one's shortcomings against the advantages of the competitor and well, un evento que creo puede ser interesante a quien esté por implementar una infraestructura de este tipo. Os dejo por un lado la grabación por si la queréis seguir, el fichero de la presentación en sí para verla offline y un PDF por si os es más cómodo. Cualquier cosa que necesitéis sabéis donde estoy, Youtube – Webinar de Diferencias VDI con Citrix y VMware Presentación – Webinar de Diferencias VDI con Citrix y VMware PDF – Webinar de Diferencias VDI con Citrix y VMware

Exporting and Importing VMware View Settings 4

If we want, we can use VMware and Microsoft tools to be able to export the configuration of our VMware View installation 4 so that it can later be imported in the event of a disaster into a new Connection Server. Since all configuration is stored in an LDAP directory and each Connection Server has a local copy of the repository and replication.

Installing and Configuring a VMware View Connection Server 4

Se debe instalar por lo menos un segundo servidor VMware View Connection Server para disponer de alta disponibilidad o balanceo de carga, This is called having a replica server. When installing Connection Server in Replica Mode, an ADAM instance is created (Active Directory Application Mode) and the View LDAP data will be initiated that will allow all Connection Servers to be kept with the same information, ua that will use the same Active Directory replication technology to replicate data between the Connection Servers. Logically, before carrying out this installation, we will need to have a Connection Server installed.

Using VMware View Composer

GOOD, this may be VMware View's most attractive product, the VMware View Composer, with this product, what we will achieve is to distribute Desktops to users from the same image for everyone. Without having to go around cloning a source VM, or have one full virtual machine per user, This is, the desktops we generate from this will not have a virtual hard drive, If not a link’ to a replica of the original virtual hard drive. With this we will achieve impressive storage savings, For example, if we design that our Desktops we want them to have 20Gb of disk, You don't need to allocate that amount to each VM, if, for example, we are going to distribute 50 Desks: 50MV x 20Gb = 1TB of space for VDI or VMware View environment only, as this does not make much sense, VMware View Composer is used to deploy Desktops from […]

Installing and Configuring VMware View

VMware View is the new name of the VDI product (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure), This product gives us another insight into the philosophy of virtualization, One more step, Virtualize user workstations, thus obtaining all possible advantages, from the centralization of our systems, with this we will have absolute control over what we administer. Another important advantage that comes to mind, is not having to renew users' equipment, being able to migrate to a Thin Client infrastructure or light equipment.
