VMware Identity Manager is an authentication and application access portal that provides a single point of application provisioning and entitlement for enterprise desktop and mobile users. Although this paper describes on-premises deployment, VMware Identity Manager is also offered for Software as a Service (SaaS) deployment.

This paper describes general considerations and best practices for planning an on-premises VMware Identity Manager™ deployment, including sizing, design, and gathering of critical environment data.

However, because every environment is unique, each deployment of VMware Identity Manager is unique as well. VMware recommends that you consult the VMware Professional Services Organization (PSO) or one of our certified partners for assistance in designing an implementation that meets your specific requirements. VMware Identity Manager is compatible with View in Horizon 7 and Horizon 6 as well as with other earlier releases.

This utility connects to App Volumes 2.x, 3.x and Horizon Air Hybrid-Mode (Enzo) environments, pulling data from the native REST APIs into a single interface for ease of management. Configuration items such as deleting AppStacks and managing Writable Volumes, which are not available in the App Volumes 3.x interface, are easily managed with this utility. The utility leverages native REST API calls for all actions.

The goal of this design guide is to outline several NSX solutions available for multi-site data center connectivity before digging deeper into the details of the Cross-VC NSX multi-site solution.

Learn how Cross-VC NSX enables logical networking and security across multiple vCenter domains/sites and how it provides enhanced solutions for specific use cases.

No longer is logical networking and security constrained to a single vCenter domain. Cross-VC NSX use cases, architecture, functionality, deployment models, design, and failure/recovery scenarios are discussed in detail.
 
This document is targeted toward virtualization and network architects interested in deploying VMware® NSX Network virtualization solution in a vSphere environment.


The design guide addresses the following topics:

• Why Multi-site?
• Traditional Multi-site Challenges
• Why VMware NSX for Multi-site Data Center Solutions?
• NSX Multi-site Solution

It also covers the Cross-VC NSX:

• Use Cases
• Architecture and Functionality
• Deployment Models
• Design Guidance
• Failure/Recovery scenarios

The Horizon Migration Tool helps you migrate published applications and desktops from XenApp to Horizon View. One XenApp farm is migrated to one or more Horizon View farm(s). The GUI wizard-based tool helps you:

• Validate the View agent status on RDS hosts (from View connection server, and XenApp server)
• Create farms
• Validate application availability on RDS hosts
• Migrate application/desktop to one or multiple farms (new or existing)
• Migrate entitlements to new or existing applications/desktops. Combination of application entitlements are supported
• Check environment
• Identify incompatible features and configuration
