vCenter and View

[gstachura]

I am new to View, and trying to figure out how it will fit into my environment. We currently have a vCenter Server setup for our server environment, will we need to setup a second vCenter server just for View, or if our environment is small (lets say 75 desktops max) can we just use our current vCenter Server?

Thanks in advance,

Greg

you can absolutely use your existing vCenter.  For our smaller environments, we just separate the View Stuff into different clusters, with their own storage.

As Troy said it's perfectly fine to use the existing vCenter.   We ran this way for a couple of years and recently switched over to a dedicated vCenter for VDI.   I think the biggest things to take into consideration is do you have a different group that will be managing the environment for VMware View, if so then it sometimes makes it easier to give them their own vCenter instance instead of trying to delegate rights in the server vCenter.    I also enjoy not having all of the VDI performance data being captured when I need to increase my statistics logging level to troubleshoot server issues.

Hi,

Yes you can use your current vCenter  Server  for your new implementation View environment.
