Introduction

The foundation of any VMware Horizon with View implementation lies in a solid understanding of the goals that the project seeks to achieve. These goals are important, as they provide with us a metric for determining whether or not the project is delivering the capabilities we require. Additionally, many of these goals can influence the project design process as well as the resources required, which is why it is important to identify them early on in the project when it is easier to make changes.

This chapter discusses a number of key considerations that will influence the design, implementation, and assessment of a VMware Horizon with View infrastructure.

Note

The current name of the suite of products that includes VMware Horizon View is VMware Horizon with View. This chapter and others will use both terms, as some chapters will refer to just View while others will refer to other Horizon components.
