Reading Time: 4 minutesIn the previous post I’ve described the NexentaVSA for View architecture and the files included in the download packages. The deployment, installation and configuration is not a simple and immediate step, but is well described in the Installation Guide and also on this video.

It tried to solve most of the possible issues or disadvantages of a VDI approach: Performance: in common VDI environment the storage could become the bottleneck of the infrastructure, with this solution you can simple scale by adding new hosts (in the same way on how you can scale to add more computational power). Cost: it remove the need of […]

Comments off

Reading Time: < 1 minuteIn a previous post I’ve described how ignore the warning in a View 5.x environment. But the right way so solve this “issue” remain replace the self generated and signed certificates with new one signed from a trusted CA (a public on, but also an internal one could be fine, if you can push its certificate on all the clients). This may become a mandatory requirement for future version of View (although it is not yet confirmed). For how generate and replace the certificates see: Official documentation KB 1008705 Guidelines for generating and importing an […]
