One of the benefits of using virtual machines is that they are independent of physical hardware. This means that they can run on any compatible host machine, regardless of the underlying hardware components. This also enables them to be migrated, moved, or copied easily from one host to another, without requiring any reconfiguration or installation. This enhances the flexibility and portability of virtual machines, as well as their availability and disaster recovery.

Another benefit of using virtual machines is that they are faster to provision than physical machines. This is because they can be created from templates or snapshots, which contain preconfigured operating systems and applications. This reduces the time and effort needed to install and configure software on each machine. Moreover, virtual machines can be cloned or duplicated quickly, allowing for rapid scaling and deployment of multiple identical instances.

Migrating Virtual Machines

Instant clones are a type of virtual machines that are created by cloning a running parent VM in memory, without requiring a full disk copy. This allows for faster provisioning and updating of RDS hosts in a farm. Instant clones can be patched in a rolling process with zero downtime by using the push-image operation, which replaces the existing instant clones with new ones that have the latest patches applied. The push-image operation can be performed on a per-farm basis or on multiple farms at once. The push-image operation preserves the user sessions and data on the existing instant clones until they are logged off or disconnected, and then deletes them. The new instant clones inherit the same settings and assignments as the old ones. Therefore, to deploy a RDS farm that can be patched in a rolling process with zero downtime, the administrator should create an instant-clone RDS desktop farm. References: Instant Clones for RDSH in VMware Horizon 7.1 and [VMware Horizon 8.x Professional Course]

VMware Horizon is designed to deliver a virtual desktop and application infrastructure, providing IT with a modern, streamlined approach to deliver, protect, and manage Windows and Linux virtual desktops and applications while containing costs and ensuring that end users can work anytime, anywhere, on any device. Horizon 8 supports flexible hybrid and multi-cloud deployment options and offers an optimized experience with unified communication and collaboration tools. The VMware Blast Extreme Protocol, included with Horizon 8, is a dynamic display protocol that delivers an immersive, feature-rich user experience across devices, locations, media, and network connections​​.

VMware Workspace ONE UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) is crucial for ensuring that end-user devices comply with an organization's IT policies. It manages and secures endpoints like smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktops, streamlining operational tasks for IT while ensuring corporate data security.

VMware Workspace ONE Access facilitates secure and simplified access to enterprise applications, providing single sign-on capabilities and conditional access based on user authentication. This ensures that users can access the resources they need efficiently while maintaining the security of the organization's data and applications.

For more information on VMware Horizon 8 and its capabilities, you can refer to VMware's official documentation and resources available at techzone.vmware.com, which provides a comprehensive overview of Horizon 8, including its architecture, components, and deployment scenarios​​​​​​.

Detailed insights into VMware Workspace ONE UEM and Workspace ONE Access can be found within VMware's product documentation and techzone resources, which offer guidance on implementing and managing these solutions as part of the Anywhere Workspace ecosystem​​.

Single sign-on (SSO) is a feature that allows users to log in to Horizon Client once and launch remote desktops and applications without being prompted for credentials again. SSO is enabled by default and can be configured in the Global Settings of Horizon Administrator. One of the settings is SSO Timeout, which determines how long the user’s credentials are cached before they expire. If the SSO Timeout is too short, users might be frequently asked for credentials when opening additional apps. To resolve this issue, the administrator can increase the SSO Timeout value or set it to -1, which means that no SSO timeout limit is set. References: Global Settings for Client Sessions in Horizon Console and [VMware Horizon 8.x Professional Course]

The issue described indicates that the Horizon Connection Server is incorrectly handling traffic that should be directed to the Unified Access Gateway (UAG) and then to the VDI desktops. Disabling the Tunnel and Gateways settings on the Horizon Connection Server forces the UAG to handle the Blast traffic directly, ensuring that the connections are made to the VDI desktops' IP addresses, thus resolving the black screen and disconnection issue.

VMware vSAN is a storage product that allows the pooling of resources to create datastores in a software defined datacenter. VMware vSAN is a hyper-converged infrastructure solution that integrates compute, storage, and networking resources on industry-standard x86 servers. VMware vSAN aggregates local or direct-attached data storage devices to create a single storage pool shared across all hosts in the vSAN cluster. VMware vSAN enables you to provision and manage storage from the VMware vSphere Web Client or the VMware vCenter Server Appliance Shell. VMware vSAN provides several benefits, such as lower total cost of ownership, simplified management, high performance, scalability, and availability12. References := 1: VMware Horizon 8 Documentation: VMware vSAN Overview 2: VMware Horizon 8 Documentation: Benefits of Using VMware vSAN with Horizon 8

SAML -> Connects the client to Workspace ONE Access

Certificate Authority -> Issues certificates for vrm and Enrollment Server

Connection Server -> Connects vrm to Active Directory

Enrollment Server -> Connects Workspace ONE Access to vrm

You can find more information about the Simple True 5SO Architecture in the VMware Horizon 8.x Professional source documents or study guide1. This architecture is a simplified version of the True SSO Architecture, which allows users to log in to their virtual desktops and applications without entering credentials multiple times. The Simple True 5SO Architecture uses Workspace ONE Access as the identity provider, which authenticates users with SAML and issues SAML assertions. The Enrollment Server then uses the SAML assertions to request short-lived certificates from the Certificate Authority, which are used to authenticate users to the Connection Server. The Connection Server then connects users to their virtual desktops and applications through vrm, which is integrated with Active Directory2.
