The purpose of the VMware Horizon View 5.3 Reviewer's Guide is to support a self-guided, hands-on review of View 5.3. You'll 

learn how easy it is to configure a View 5.3 environment, and use that environment to evaluate both new and core capabilities.

This document assumes you have basic knowledge of VMware vSphere ESXi and VMware vCenter and are comfortable configuring networking and storage in a virtual environment. 

The step-by-step instructions will guide you through installation and how to work through the core and deployment scenarios.

This guide is not intended as a substitute for product documentation. You can find more detailed information regarding the installation, configuration, administration, and use of VMware Horizon View in the VMware Horizon View documentation.
