News zu Horizon 7.0.2 VMworld VMware Horizon 7.0.2 (released am 15. September 2016) Optimierungen in Blast Extreme (reduzierte Bandbreite und Latenz) Über 60 neue Thin- und Zero-Clients unterstützen Blast Extreme (Dell, HP, IGEL, ) Neue Performance-Metrics in vrealize Operations for Horizon für Blast Extreme vgpu Support für NVIDIA Tesla M10 4
Unterschied der Protokolle: PCoIP vs. Blast Extreme HORIZON AIR CLOUD HOSTED HORIZON AIR CLOUD MANAGED Support the broadest range of H.264 capable devices including the industry s lowest cost PCs with extended battery life. Flexibly choose between PCoIP or VMware s Blast Xtreme display technology HORIZON 7 5
Blast Extreme Overview Another protocol option in Horizon 7 Feature and performance parity with PCoIP PCoIP is NOT going away Zero Clients H.264 codec support Most devices have H.264 hardware decode support Hardware H.264 encode with NVIDIA GRID Proprietary JPG/PNG codec support Same as used in Blast Extreme HTML / Linux Supports both TCP and UDP TCP is default, UDP is optional Native Horizon Client 4.x required 6
Advantages of Blast Extreme - The Mobile Cloud Protocol Broad Client Support: H264 Hardware Everywhere GRID Optimized: Deliver More 3D Users Use Less Bandwidth: Great Experience for More Users Network Friendly: TCP or UDP Works More Places Built for the Cloud: Adapts Better to Lossy Networks Better Battery Life: Optimized for Mobile 7
PCoIP & Blast Extreme: Feature Parity Multiple Protocols Blast Extreme & PCoIP Common SDKs Same Common Feature-Rich User Experience Hosted Apps & RDS Desktops Printing Scanning & Imaging Devices Smart Card USB Audio In/Out Client Drive Redirection Windows Media Redirection File Type Association Unified Communications Webcams Same Horizon Clients / Broadest Support for Every Use Case Windows Linux Mac ios Android Chrome OS Thin Clients HTML (Blast Only) Session Enhancement SDK RDP VC Bridge SDK 8
NVIDIA GRID vgpu Architektur Ab vsphere 6 supported Physische GPU wird in virtuelle GPU s (vgpu) unterteilt Der vgpu Manager auf dem ESXi Host weist die Ressource einem Desktop zu Im Guest OS wird der VMware SVGA Treiber durch einen NVIDIA Treiber ersetzt Unterstützte NVIDIA GRID Karten: Kepler K1,K2 und Tesla M60, M6 neu M10 Tesla Karten erfordern zusätzlich einen Lizenzserver 9

Just-in-Time Delivery Deliver 2000 desktops in under 20 minutes Support more than 50,000 sessions across 10 sites, and 25 pods to predictably scale 11
Just-in-Time Desktop Features and Support in Horizon 7 Floating VDI Desktop Pools Only New Guest Customization Process No Reboot Required Tested to 2000 Desktops per Pool AppVolumes AppStack & Writable Volume support Up Front & Elastic Provisioning 12
View Composer Clones vs. Instant Clones: Onboarding Process Timelines illustrative not drawn to scale View Composer Clones Cloning Reconfig Power-on Customize Check points Power-on User Log on Ready for Log on Log on Finished Instant Clones Cloning / vmfork Power-on Customize User Log on Ready for Log on Log on Finished By eliminating and/or shortening steps in the provisioning of View Composer clones, Instant Clones significantly reduce time for a desktop to be ready 14
View Composer vs. Instant Clones: Load on VC VC Call Type View Composer Instant Clones Cloning 1 clone call 1 vmfork call Power cycle 2 power cycle calls None Reconfiguration 3-4 reconfigure calls None Overall load on VC Higher Lower Three types of VC calls are made Cloning Power cycle Reconfiguration Although vmfork has higher VC load than View Composer, Instant Clones eliminates power cycle and reconfigure calls, resulting in significantly lower overall load on vcenter 15
Instant Clone Limitations in Horizon 7 No dedicated Desktop Pools No RDS Desktop or Application Pools View Composer for RDSH Hosts Limited SVGA Support Fixed max resolution & number of monitors No 3D Rendering / GPU Support No Sysprep support Single SID across pool 16
Instant Clone Limitations in Horizon 7 (Cont) No VVOL or VAAI NFS Hardware Clones support No Powershell View Composer for RDSH Hosts No Multi-VLAN Support in a single Pool No Reusable Computer Accounts No Persistent Disks Use Writable Volumes 17
