This reference architecture provides guidance for implementing a VMware Horizon 6 deployment that supports 2,000 – 10,000 users with an existing server and storage infrastructure. Although hardware is specified for 2,000 users, you can scale the deployment up to 10,000 users using the pod and block architecture approach.
This reference architecture combines the technologies of standard rack mount server hardware running on EMC VNX storage leveraging VMware View Accelerator (to accelerate existing SAN) with VMware ESXi 5.5and Horizon 6 software to produce a highly efficient, robust, and scalable next-generation virtual workspace deployment. This document includes information on View, VMware Mirage 5.0, and VMware Workspace Portal 2.0 running on top of VMware vSphere 5.5.
