This document is a reference implementation case study for VMware Horizon with View at the Dell Proof of Concept Center in Round Rock, Texas and performed as a collaborative effort between Barco, Dell, Siemens Healthcare, and VMware. The solution provides scalable Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) sessions in blocks of eight users for the purpose of remote diagnostic radiology reading.
The intended audience is technical decision-makers considering deploying Horizon with View at scale. The Executive Summary and Conclusion sections are also suitable for nontechnical decision-makers.
The purpose of this document is to detail a working and tested model solution for providing a virtualized "remote desktop" to radiologists or clinicians performing remote diagnosis with a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) client. The details of the tested model solution includes server-side and client-side components used, WAN connectivity details and limitations, and scalability considerations.
