In my previous article I discussed VSAN benefits for Horizon View (How does VMware VSAN help Horizon View?), including CAPEX and OPEX savings provided by the use of inexpensive server disks for shared storage and simplified day-to-day storage configuration and provisioning activities. In this article I will explore some of the VSAN capabilities and features and how they relate to Horizon View. --> Please see the rest on the blog : http://myvirtualcloud.net/?p=5440 

VMware Horizon View 5.2 Feature Pack 2 includes the following new features: Flash URL Redirection - Customers can now use Adobe Media Server and multicast to deliver live video events in a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environment. To deliver multicast live video streams within a VDI environment, the media stream should be sent directly from the media source to the endpoints, bypassing the virtual desktops. The Flash URL Redirection feature supports this capability by intercepting and redirecting the ShockWave Flash... [Lire la suite]

While playing with SSL certs on View servers I found one of my Connection servers would start all of its services, but not start listening on 443. Note that netstat can be used to determine if something listening on 443: C:\Users\administrator>netstat -ano |find "443" TCP 0.0.0.0:443 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 3096 TCP 0.0.0.0:8443 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 3320 TCP [::]:443 [::]:0 LISTENING 3096 TCP [::1]:443 [::1]:56154 ESTABLISHED 3096 TCP [::1]:443 [::1]:56155 ESTABLISHED 3096 TCP [::1]:56154 [::1]:443 ESTABLISHED...

For VMware Horizon View it is recommends that you configure your VMware View Horizon Servers with a signed SSL certificate. Default when you install a VMware View Horizon servers, a certificate is generated that is not signed by a CA. Because it is not signed by a CA It is possible to to intercept traffic. So it is highly recommend to replace the default certificate with a signed certificate after the installation. In the VMware View Horizon Administrator dashboard you can see that the Connection Server does not have a valid signed... [Lire la suite]

In one of my recent VDI projects I was working with Symantec Endpoint Protection as the choice of AV solution. When I started working on the project I was not able to find much information on the exact steps required for me to design and implement a Horizon View solution with Symantec Endpoint protection. I worked my way across the design and implementation by reading various whitepapers both by VMware and Symantec. This prompted me to work on a series of blog articles which covers the Symantec SEP integration with... [Lire la suite]

As Ted and Mason mentioned in their video post last week, today’s IT staff faces many challenges involving security, cost, risk, and governance. I’d like to address one particular challenge associated with those: how to manage data. Let’s consider a heavily regulated industry like health care. In a typical healthcare setting, if disaster strikes, hospitals risk losing extremely sensitive patient data, either virtual or physical. In addition to implementing disaster recovery processes and large backup tapes, IT techs... [Lire la suite]
