Sequel Data Systems – SMB Reference Implementation for Unidesk and VMware View Page 13
View Connection Server instance is installed, the View Administrator application is also installed.
This application allows administrators to manage View Connection Server instances from
anywhere without having to install an application on a local computer.
• VMware View Agent: A View Agent is installed on all virtual machines, physical systems, and
Terminal Service servers that are used as sources for View desktops. It is often delivered as a
Unidesk layer. This agent communicates with the View Client to provide features such as
connection monitoring, virtual printing, and access to locally connected USB devices. The agent
can be installed with an option for single sign-on, in which case users are prompted to log in
when they connect to View Connection Server, and are not prompted a second time to connect
to a virtual desktop.
• VMware View Client: The client software for accessing View desktops runs either on a Windows
or Mac PC as a native application, or on a thin client with the View Client for Linux. After logging
in, users select from a list of virtual desktops that they are authorized to use. Authorization can
require Active Directory credentials, a UPN, a smart card PIN, or an RSA SecurID token.
• VMware vCenter Server: This service acts as a central administrator for VMware vSphere servers
that are connected on a network. VMware vCenter™ Server, formerly called VMware
VirtualCenter, provides the central point for configuring, provisioning, and managing virtual
machines in the datacenter. Unidesk uses vCenter APIs to create, configure, and destroy virtual
machines.
