VMware VDM 2 Load Balancing GuideCommunity Feedback1 vote Related CategoriesTechnical Resource | VMware Infrastructure 3 | VMware VDI | VMware | Desktop Management & Control | Networking | PDF | Performance | Security | Other Content Publisher: Latest Revision: Download: DescriptionOnce appropriate server-grade hardware has been selected, load balancing become an important consideration for addressing a configuration’s scalability and fault tolerance. In general, load-balanced configurations use multiple VDM Connection Servers installed in a primary-and-replica manner, with the first server installed as the primary and subsequent servers are installed as replicas. VDM Connection Servers provide session management and handle all incoming client requests, directing them to the appropriate virtual desktop session, and VDM Security Servers provide SSL tunneling capabilities for encrypting communication between the client devices and the VDM Connection Servers. The configuration of a load-balanced solution largely depends on the requirements of the organization for which it is being deployed. Companies that already have a load balancing solution in place may be able to utilize it for VDI since the load generated by the VDI solution is minimal. Both hardware-based load balancing appliances and inexpensive (or free) software-based load balancing products can be considered as candidate solutions. « BACK... |
