Horizon View inquiries

[ChevUribe]

1. Can RDS hosts can also be configured as connection servers? Is this best process?

2. If there is internal and external connection users (connection and security servers), Does DMZ and On premises datacenter needs separate Network Load Balancing?

3. When would you consider using NLB in the first place?

4. can you use VMware converter to convert Desktop/s or servers to vCenter/ESXi in a Horizon environment?

5. Is Desktop/Application Farms data persistent?

6. Can we re-use N computing N300 for Horizon VDI?

1.) No, they should be separate servers.

2.) Unless you have specific security concern they do not need separate NLBs. DMZ and on-prem users can go through the same connection. We do this for all users with one NLB and UAG servers. If you need different resources available depending on connection servers then yes, you do need separate NLBs.

3.) For HA and load for the edge servers. You can have multiple UAGs going to connection servers.

4.)Yes. Once you convert the desktop you will just need to add the appropriate agents (horizon,uem,appvolume,etc)

5.) Depends on how you configure your desktops / farms. You can use profile management tools to get a persistent experience with non-persistent desktops/applications.

6.) I'm not familiar with ncomputing but from what I have experienced you should ditch it and do everything in Horizon. No reason to add complexity to your environment.

Thanks techguy129​, for your response.

In response to your answer to #6:

6.) I'm not familiar with ncomputing but from what I have experienced you should ditch it and do everything in Horizon. No reason to add complexity to your environment.

--Its just a terminal (zero client) where they access a central N computing server where their RDP sessions are configured. The reason why they asking this is that they want to reuse the specified terminals and even add more.
