A pod is a unit of organization determined by Horizon 7 scalability limits. A Cloud Pod Architecture (CPA) links multiple pods. You can use VMware Cloud on Dell EMC as one of the pods and link it with a pod on-premises. When the pods are linked, they work in synchronization. For more information, see the Administering Cloud Pod Architecture in Horizon 7 document.

Prerequisites

  • Deploy Horizon 7 version 7.5 or later on an on-premises environment and on VMware Cloud on Dell EMC.

Procedure

  1. Use Cloud Pod Architecture to connect the Horizon 7 pod on premises with the Horizon 7 pod on VMware Cloud on Dell EMC.
  2. Configure ports and firewall rules.
  3. Optionally, when you use Cloud Pod Architecture, you can deploy a load balancer between the two pods.

    The following figure illustrates the Cloud Pod Architecture.
