TestCompany has deployed VMware Horizon 5.2 in their environment to provide a VDI accessed both by internal and external clients. The deployment contains the following:

  • Two VMware Horizon View Connection Servers
  • Two VMware Horizon View Security Servers
  • Two LoadMaster HA Clusters

In the deployment architecture defined herein, the LoadMaster does not handle the load balancing of PCoIP traffic for Connection or Security servers. For this reason, the following should be noted:

  • Connectivity between external clients and the View Security servers is required
  • Connectivity between internal clients and the VMware infrastructure is required

The following scenarios are defined:

  • Access to the Horizon View environment using Connection Servers which are being load balanced and serviced by a LoadMaster ADC cluster
  • Access to Horizon View using Security servers which are being load balanced and serviced by a LoadMaster ADC cluster
