VMware Horizon 7 Enterprise Edition VMware Validated Integration Design

This paper describes how to address business requirements and use cases with services constructed by integrating the components of VMware Horizon® 7 Enterprise Edition. It is intended to help customers—IT architects, consultants, and administrators involved in the early phases of planning, design, and deployment by offering a standard, repeatable, and highly scalable approach to design and integration that can easily be adapted to specific environments and requirements. 

The approach taken in this paper is, as with any technology solution, to start by defining business requirements and drivers. These requirements can, in turn, be mapped to use cases that can be adapted to most scenarios. With Horizon 7 Enterprise Edition we can deliver solutions for these use cases by creating services composed of several components in a very efficient and reusable manner.


The resultant environment and the services delivered can easily be adapted to address changes in the business and use cases. One key step in addressing the use cases is the definition of blueprints for the services to be delivered. This allows us to understand the components and parts that need to be designed, built, and integrated.
