Cloud Pod Architecture

The Cloud Pod Architecture in Horizon 7 extends the scalability and feature set from the previous version. You can now federate up to 25 pods across 5 sites, allowing you to deliver a single desktop solution for up to 50,000 users.

When connecting multiple pods in this manner, it will give you the ability to entitle users across pools on both pods and sites. So, if you currently have scaled past a single pod, either for scale on one site or to deliver a view environment on multiple sites, it will now allow you to administer users through a global user entitlement layer. You can now also deliver DR to your virtual desktops, in the event of failure, through the global user entitlement layer.

You can also configure the scope to set whether View shows a user's resources based only locally to them, on the same site but across pods, or in all pods across both sites:
