Build a Horizon Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

August 2019 with Jacob Moran

Join Jacob Moran as he teaches you how to create a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and desktop pools by using VMware Horizon.

Gain an understanding of dedicated and floating desktop pools and the four ways you can create a VMware Horizon VDI virtual machine: manual, full clone, linked clone, and Horizon 7 instant clone. Learn how to choose the best remote settings and display settings for your VDI desktop pools, how to create a dedicated manual VDI pool, how to create a floating and dedicated instant-clone desktop pool in Horizon 7, and how to create a full autonomous clone of a parent VM that meets the dedicated desktop needs of your end users.

This skill is part of a series that will prepare you for VMware's VCP7-DTM certification exam, which covers the configuration and management of VMware Horizon 7 (with View) environments.
