This Validated Design Guide provides an overview of the VMware® AlwaysOn Desktop™ solution. The architecture uses products from VMware and its ecosystem of partners to build a comprehensive desktop solution for users and organizations requiring high availability for desktop resources.
This document provides an overview of the solution, logical solution architecture, and results of the tested physical implementation. The solution is not exclusive to the products tested within the architecture. Consult your VMware representative on how to modify the architecture with your preferred vendors.
VMware Validated Design Guides provide an overview of a solution architecture and implementation. The validated designs and solutions have been created through architectural design development and lab testing. The guide is intended to provide guidance for the introduction of proof of concepts, emerging new technology and architectures, as well as enhancement of customer use cases.
The Validated Design Guides:
- Incorporate generally available products into the design
- Employ repeatable processes for the deployment, operation, and management of components within the solution
Validated Designs are tested for a specific use case or architectural practice of a limited scale and duration. These guides ensure the viability of logical designs or concepts in real-world practices. The Validated Design Guides provide an overview of the solution design and implementation guidance that include:
- Use cases catered to the design
- Products validated as part of design testing
- Software used for each component of the design
- Configurations used to support the design test cases
- A list of design limitations and issues discovered during the testing
