Horizon Deploy and Manage

Powered by Arrow ECS GmbH

In diesem fünftägigen Kurs erwerben Teilnehmende praktische Kenntnisse zur Bereitstellung virtueller Desktops und Anwendungen über eine einzige virtuelle Desktop-Infrastrukturplattform. In einer Kombination aus Vorlesungen und praktischen Übungen werden Kenntnisse in der Konfiguration und Verwaltung von Horizon® 8 ausgebaut. Sie lernen, wie Sie Pools virtueller Maschinen konfigurieren und bereitstellen sowie Endbenutzern eine angepasste Desktop-Umgebung zur Verfügung stellen. Darüber hinaus wird gelernt, wie eine virtuelle Desktop-Infrastrukturplattform installiert und konfiguriert wird. Sie lernen, wie Sie Horizon® Connection Server™ Unified Access Gateway™ installieren und konfigurieren, wie Sie einen Load Balancer für die Verwendung mit Horizon konfigurieren und eine Cloud-Pod-Architektur einrichten.

*Dieses Seminar wird mit der aktuellsten Version, die für dieses Seminar verfügbar ist, durchgeführt.
