Go back to the View Security Server installation and enter the password you specified:Įnter the External URL, PCoIP External URL (Public IP Address) and Blast External URL: Select the default/first connection server and click More Commands -> Specify Security Server Pairing Password: Navigate to View Configuration -> Servers -> Connection Servers. This can be done from the Horizon 7 Administration Console previously opened on the Connection Server. Next, we need to generate a password for pairing. When prompted, enter the FQDN of the View Connection Server: When asked, we’ll select Horizon 7 Security Server for the installation type: On the View Security Server we’ll repeat the same installation process. From an admin workstation, navigate to Launch and login to the Horizon 7 Administrator Console using required credentials. You can launch this locally from the View Connection Server, or from an Administrative workstation since Flash is required. Participate (or don’t) in the user experience improvement program:

Lots of stats coming out from VMware and NVIDIA showing just how effective Blast Extreme and NVENC can truly be.įor my basic environment I’ll start with three systems: One View Connection Server, One View Security Server, and One Windows 7 Master Image. I’m really excited to see VMware’s finally done it with Blast Extreme! The net result ultimately leads to lower CPU overhead to deliver a better user experience with more frames per second as there’s less general system overhead as the GPU takes on the heavy lifting. The NVIDIA team are truly mad scientists and have been trying tirelessly for years to educate the remote protocol and broker vendors (Citrix, Microsoft, VMware, NICE, Frame, etc.) on proper use of their APIs to grab the frames in the most efficient manner. You can read more about this process in my section about Click to Photon in my previous blog post. The following visual characterizes the ideal scenario for getting frames rendered, captured, and encoded directly from the GPU Framebuffer (Memory): I’m most excited about Blast Extreme in this release as it’s the first protocol on the market from Citrix, Microsoft, or VMware to properly leverage the NVIDIA GPUs for hardware offloading of the encode stream (NVIDIA NVENC). For this blog post I’m going to be focusing on Horizon 7 deployment and specifically the installation and configuration of Horizon 7 for NVIDIA GRID and Blast Extreme!
