Introduction to View Integration 1
With View, system administrators can provision desktops and control user access to these desktops. Client
software connects users to virtual machines running in VMware vSphere™, or to physical systems running
within your network environment. In addition, View administrators can configure Remote Desktop Services
(RDS) hosts to provide View desktop and application sessions to client devices.

View Components
You can use View with VMware vCenter Server to create desktops from virtual machines that are running
on VMware ESX
®
or VMware ESXi™ hosts and deploy these desktops to end users. You can also install
View on RDS hosts to deploy desktops and applications to end users. View uses your existing Active
Directory infrastructure for user authentication and management.
After you create a desktop or application, authorized end users can use Web-based or locally installed client
software to securely connect to centralized virtual machines, back-end physical systems, or RDS hosts.
View consists of the following major components.
View Connection Server
A software service that acts as a broker for client connections by
authenticating and then directing incoming user requests to the appropriate
virtual machine, physical system, or RDS host.
View Agent
A software service that is installed on all guest virtual machines, physical
systems, or RDS hosts to allow them to be managed by View. View Agent
provides features such as connection monitoring, virtual printing, USB
support, and single sign-on.
Horizon Client
A software application that communicates with View Connection Server to
enable users to connect to their desktops.
View Administrator
A Web application that enables View administrators to configure View
Connection Server, deploy desktop and application pools, manage machines,
control user authentication, initiate and examine system events, and perform
analytical activities.
