Component | Qty. | Description |
vCenter Server Appliance | 2 | A pair of vCenter Server appliances (vCenter HA) will be used for the tenant resource block. Tenant administrators will have access for the management of desktop images and vSphere operations. |
Access Point | 2 | A pair of Access Point virtual appliances will be deployed behind an NSX load-balancer. This will be used for resilience and facilitate external (internet) access. |
Connection Server | 2 | Two Horizon View Connection Servers will be deployed for resilience. |
NSX Manager | 2 | Two NSX Manager virtual appliances are deployed for management of the resource cluster networking. |
vRealize Operations for Horizon | 2 | A single vRealize Operations Manager server will be deployed with the Horizon adapter. This will be used for tenant monitoring of the environment. |
Identity Manager | 3 | Three VMware Identity Manager appliances will be deployed for access to Workspace ONE. |
Enrollment Servers | 2 | Two Enrollment Servers will be deployed for True SSO. |
User Environment Manager | 1* | A single file server will be deployed for User Environment Manager. |
* Where a single User Environment Manager file server is deployed, in this example it is not considered critical to operations. For high availability of the User Environment Manager file shares, Microsoft DFS-R (replication) can be used in a hub and spoke replication topology (active-active replication is not supported). |
