Choosing appropriate vendor and device parameters depends on a specific implementation. In All-flash configuration, cache is used as a write buffer only because there is no need for caching during read operations.
High-performance systems, requiring high bandwidth and low latency, caching tier can be configured with non-standard SSD drives based on Intel Optane solution. With traditional flash memories, basic capacity units are cells, and their state is defined by the charge they hold, which is controlled by transistors and capacitors. It enables much faster state changes. Also, cells can be organized into 3D structures 3D XPoint — Figure 2 , which provides greater density and capacity. In the vSAN environment, caching tier is heavily hit by write operations, so it is necessary to use highly reliable disks.
On the other hand, capacity tier usually gets read requests with occasional write requests from caching tier. Therefore, it can contain less reliable and cheaper disks.
Application virtualization ThinApp and distribution by virtual disks App Volumes are additional features, simplifying implementation, migration, and lifecycle management. Available features depend on the Horizon 7 edition: Standard , Advanced, or Enterprise. There is also an edition for Linux users — Horizon for Linux. Tables 1 and 2 contain specific components that makeup Horizon 7 platform. Table 3 contains more license details for all editions. Specific implementation depends on client needs and capabilities, as well as the overall IT infrastructure condition.
Horizon 7 edition and licensing model is defined by available features described in the above tables. It is essential to notice that the Named licensing model does not support NSX. Performance still depends on the quality of the network connection and ability of the display protocol to handle graphics. Advantages: Often gives the end user better performance because demanding graphic or other operations execute locally. Disadvantages: Requires more powerful client hardware, reducing the cost benefit of virtual desktops.
Local Virtual Applications: Think "Java. But they run within a "sandbox" that enforces a set of rules on what the local machine can do and to what it can connect. Advantages: More computing resources and sometimes better performance than remotely hosted applications; less bandwidth consumption; can be used offline. Present in two major versions. Option one: A client-side hypervisor can create a virtual machine within a laptop or desktop computer, which can function as a completely standalone unit that keeps itself separate from hardware and software on the client machine outside of the VM.
Disadvantages: Potential conflict for resources, relative immaturity of client-side hypervisors leaves security unproven. Follow everything from CIO.

This allows users to run operating systems and applications from a server inside a datacenter while all user interactions take place on a client device such as a laptop, thin client, or smartphone. A popular type of desktop virtualization is virtual desktop infrastructure VDI. VDI is a variant of the client-server model of desktop virtualization, which uses host-based virtual machines VMs to deliver persistent and nonpersistent virtual desktops to all kinds of connected devices.
With a persistent virtual desktop, each user has a unique desktop image they can customize with apps and data, knowing it will be saved for future use. A nonpersistent virtual desktop infrastructure allows users to access a virtual desktop from an identical pool when they need it; once the user logs out of a nonpersistent VDI, it reverts to its unaltered state. Some of the advantages of virtual desktop infrastructure are improved security and centralized desktop management across an organization.
Virtual desktops offer significant advantages over physical desktop machines. Desktop virtualization software provides IT admins centralized security control over which users can access which data and applications. And because all company data lives inside the datacenter rather than on each machine, a lost or stolen device does not post the same data risk. If someone steals a laptop using desktop virtualization, there is no company data on the actual machine and hence less risk of a breach.
The user can interact with the operating system and applications on that desktop from any location and the employee experience will be the same as if they were working locally. Once the user is finished using this virtual desktop, they can log off and return that desktop image to the shared pool. Desktop virtualization helps IT departments get the most out of their hardware investments by consolidating most of their computing in a datacenter.
Desktop virtualization then allows organizations to issue lower-cost computers and devices to end users because most of the intensive computing work takes place in the data center. By minimizing how much computing is needed at the endpoint devices for end users, IT departments can save money by buying less costly machines.
