VMware Horizon - Design

( Duration: 5 Days )

This VMware Horizon: Design training course presents a methodology for designing a VMware Horizon solution. The design methodology includes recommendations for the type of information and data that must be gathered and analyzed to make sound design decisions for client systems, desktop options, VMware vSphere infrastructure, and VMware Horizon components.

By attending VMware Horizon: Design workshop, delegates will learn to:

  • Assess the business and application requirements of an environment
  • Analyze design choices and design an infrastructure architecture for end-user computing that addresses the needs of the environment
  • Design a VMware Horizon infrastructure architecture that addresses the needs of the organization and follows VMware best practices
  • Document a design that can be implemented
  • Design a comprehensive VMware Horizon solution

  • Virtualized desktop implementation experience
  • Attend a training on VMware Horizon: Install, Configure, Manage or equivalent practical experience
  • Understanding of concepts presented in the VMware Data Center Virtualization Fundamentals course

The VMware Horizon: Design class is ideal for:

  • Experienced system administrators and system integrators responsible for designing and implementing VMware Horizon solutions
