Summary


In this chapter, you have been introduced to VMware VSAN, a software-defined storage platform that extends the capabilities of vSphere to provide storage for vSphere virtual machines.

First, we examined the VSAN requirements and limitations, and reviewed a simple VSAN sizing exercise.

Next, we reviewed the vSphere VSAN SPBM framework, which is used to control how VSAN resources are used. We learned how Horizon automatically creates and implements SPBM policies, based on the type of desktop being deployed.

In the remaining sections of the chapter, we reviewed how to configure our ESXi servers to work with VSAN, walked through the process used to enable VSAN on those hosts, and then examined what steps to take when creating a Horizon pool to ensure that it creates the VSAN SPBM policies.

In the next chapter, we will review VMware User Environment Manager, an optional feature of VMware Horizon used to manage and enable portability of users' persona data.
