Horizon clients

The Horizon client is basically where your virtual desktop machine's screen is decoded and displayed on an endpoint device. There are two distinct types of Horizon Clients: a software-based version, which is installed on the user's endpoint device, and a hardware-based version, which uses zero or thin clients.

We will cover the View client options in Chapter 12, Horizon Client Options.
