Preface

VMware Horizon 6 Desktop Virtualization Solutions is a guide for architects, solution providers, consultants, engineers, and anyone planning to design and implement a solution based on Horizon View 6. This book is based on information taken from hands-on experience, real-world situations, and implementations, in order to capitalize on practical virtualization desktop learning. You will understand not only the settings and configurations needed to build a successful virtual desktop solution, but also learn the thought process behind making those decisions.

This book will not replace the official administration or installation guides for VMware View or ThinApp published by VMware, but should be used as a guide to supplement the hard work of the writers at VMware. This book is designed to be used during the design phase, which is before an implementation is started. All of the major components of Horizon 6 will be covered in this book.
