communicates with View Connection Server to allow users to
connect to their desktops.The View Client can be installed on
Windows, Max OSX, Linux open client and thin clients.

View Persona Management : View Persona Management preserves

user pro les and dynamically synchronizes them with a remote
pro le repository. Persona Management downloads only the les
that Windows requires at login, such as user registry les. When the
user or application opens other les from the desktop pro le folder,
these les are copied from the stored user persona to the View
desktop. This algorithm provides performance beyond that achieved
with Windows roaming pro les.

VMware ThinApp: – ThinApp is application virtualization solution

from VMware. It is an optional component in VMware VDI (Horizon
View) infrastructure.  ThinApp is able to execute applications without
them being installed in the traditional sense by virtualizing resources
such as environment variables, les and Windows Registry keys

Remote Desktop Services Hosts: An RDS host can be virtual or

physical server that hosts applications and desktop sessions for
remote access. In View, an RDS host is a server that has the Microsoft
Remote Desktop Services role, the Microsoft Remote Desktop
Session Host service, and View Agent installed. Remote Desktop
Services was previously known as Terminal Services. The Remote
Desktop Session Host service allows a server to host applications and
remote desktop sessions. With View Agent installed on an RDS host,
users can connect to applications and desktop sessions by using the
display protocol PCoIP. PCoIP provides an optimized user experience
for the delivery of remote content, including images, audio and
video.
