View Connection Server Cluster Design Considerations

You can deploy multiple replicated View Connection Server instances in a group to support load balancing

and high availability. Groups of replicated instances are designed to support clustering within a LAN-

connected single-datacenter environment. VMware does not recommend using a group of replicated View

Connection Server instances across a WAN due to the communication traffic needed between the grouped

instances. In scenarios where a View deployment needs to span datacenters, create a separate View deployment

for each datacenter.

Maximum Connections for View Connection Server

Table 4-7 provides information about the tested limits regarding the number of simultaneous connections that

a VMware View deployment can accommodate.

This example assumes that you are using VMware View with vSphere 4.1 and vCenter Server 4.1. It also

assumes that View Connection Server is running on a 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise operating

system.

Table 4-7. View Desktop Connections

Connection Servers per Deployment Connection Type

Maximum Number of Simultaneous

Connections

1 Connection Server Direct connection, RDP or PCoIP;

Tunneled connection, RDP

2,000

7 Connection Servers (5 + 2 spares) Direct connection, RDP or PCoIP 10,000

1 Connection Server Unified Access to physical PCs 100

1 Connection Server Unified Access to terminal servers 200

Tunneled connections are required if you use security servers for RDP connections from outside the internal

corporate network.

View Transfer Server Virtual Machine Configuration and Storage

View Transfer Server is required to support desktops that run View Client with Local Mode (formerly called

Offline Desktop). This server requires less memory than View Connection Server.

View Transfer Server Configuration

You must install View Transfer Server on a virtual rather than a physical machine and the virtual machine

must be managed by the same vCenter Server instance as the local desktops that it will manage. Table 4-8 lists

the virtual machine specifications for a View Transfer Server instance.

Table 4-8. View Transfer Server Virtual Machine Example

Item Example

Operating system 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2

RAM 4GB

Virtual CPU 2

System disk capacity 20GB

SCSI type LSI Logic (not the default, which is SAS)

Network adapter E1000 (the default)

1 NIC 1 Gigabit
