This is not something you have to do, but is a flexibility that's come especially in the last couple of versions of Horizon.Įven if your clients don't need anything other than a virtual desktop via their thin clients, you can offer them individual apps on their phones, tablets, etc. You can do this and integrate it with Horizon so that your clients are offered remote apps along with full desktops. You would only need RDS CALs if you were deploying a remote desktop (terminal server) host. Windows 7 Enterprise is most probably the version you'll be deploying. You'll be setting up Windows activation through a key management server (KMS). Best if on different hosts, but definitely on different storage.Īs StorageNinja mentioned, you'll need Virtual Desktop Access (VDA) licenses for Windows 7 VMs. You will need two domain controllers, always. How far are your users from your main office? How much latency on that connection (in ms)?Ĭan those Dell thin clients do PCoIP? If so, that's what you want to use. PCoIP, rather than RDP, is the preferred WAN protocol for Horizon. how would you configure this remote office? I've come up with my own "plan" but this all seems overkill, I'm interested in what others think (how to best use everything the customer paid for) There is a 48port Netgear POE switch (POE to support POE phones supplied by one of those cloud VoIP companies) The Internet connection is 2-ISP redundant in both the main and remote office. At least 1 Windows Server 2012 instance (VM) needs to be a domain controller (replacing the currently in-place Windows 2003 DC) There will be a VPN tunnel to a remote office where all the thin stations are. VMware vSphere 6 Enterprise Plus for Desktop Stand Alone License (VS6-VU6-C) :20 VM(s) VMware vCenter Server 6 Standard for Horizon (VS6-VCS6-STD-C) :2 INSTANCE(s) VMware Workstation Pro 12 for Linux and Windows, ESD (WS12-LW-CE) :2 COMPUTER(s) VMware Virtual SAN 6 Advanced per concurrent User (ST6-ADV-DT-C) :20 USER(s) VMware ThinApp 5 Virtualization Packager (THIN5-PACK-C) :2 INSTANCE(s) VMware ThinApp 5 Client License (THIN5-CL-C) :20 CLIENT(s) VMware Horizon Advanced per named user (HZ-ADVN-C) :20 NAMED USER(s) VMware Fusion 8 Pro, ESD (FUS8-PRO-C) :20 COMPUTER(s) 5 Windows 2012 R2 licenses (I verified this is 5 servers, not 1 with 5 CALs) 1 Dell server (powered on it boots to VMWare ESXi, with a RAID 1 mirror and RAID 10 array)
17 Dell thin stations (powered on they boot to Windows 7 Embedded, four of these are a bigger model which allow for dual monitor support via one VGA and one DisplayPort) The plan is unknown to the customer but here's what was purchased. I "inherited" a customer who's IT guy disappeared (really, nobody can get in touch with him)
