F5 BIG-IP and Horizon for HA

1/22/2015

0 Comments

 
Architecting a VDI environment for high availability and optimum load balancing became easier this past year when VMware and F5 announced their joint solution that included VMware Horizon with F5 BIG-IP. This can reduce the complexity of your environment by removing the need for multiple security servers in the architecture.

VDI is a key initiative for many organizations moving toward cloud-based end-user computing, and desktop migration. Choosing the right virtualization platform can be both challenging and critical to the success of this transformation.

Careful consideration needs to be given to the underlying virtualization platform as well as to the supporting infrastructure which includes network considerations.

VDI deployments benefit from having more than one connection server to provide high availability. Many organizations use Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) to help balance the load across the multiple connection servers in their environment. ADCs also provide a number of other capabilities such as access control, SSO, and protocol proxy.
