Introduction

This chapter discusses how to enable, configure, and administer a VMware Horizon View Cloud Pod. The Horizon View Cloud Pod Architecture was first introduced in Horizon View 6 and allows administrators to deploy multisite, multipod environments that support global user entitlements. Additionally, when deployed in a multipod configuration, Horizon View 6 is capable of supporting up to 20,000 desktops or twice as many as previous versions. In this chapter, we will review the concepts behind a VMware Horizon View Cloud Pod and cover key areas related to the Cloud Pod functionality.
