Hi there,
I'm in the process of building a new Horizon View environment, based on Horizon View 7, to replace our existing Horizon 5.3 environment. I went down this route, with a new dedicated VDI instance of vCenter Server and new Connection Servers, Security Servers etc, so that I could upgrade the Server OS to 2012 R2 across the board and also perform the project alongside the existing environment with little to no user disruption.
My quandary is that since starting this build vSphere 6.5 has now been released, which Horizon 7 now supports, along with the move to the vCenter Server Appliance over the Windows based vCenter Server. I previously deployed vCenter 6.0 as a Windows Server with Composer co-installed, but I'm wondering now whether it would be better, as VMware are pushing the VCSA as the way to go going forward, to go with a 6.5 VCSA with a separate Windows Server for Composer. What are peoples thoughts here?
If you have any questions regarding the environment or project I will be happy to answer them.
Thanks in advance.
David.
