Hardware requirements
The Horizon Connection Server software has specific requirements with regard to the hardware specifications and host operating system. In addition, all Horizon Connection Servers, regardless of the type, should be installed on a dedicated virtual or physical server.
The first Horizon Connection Server you install will be referred to as a Horizon 7 Standard Server during the installation process. To meet scalability and high-availability needs, up to six additional Horizon Connection Servers can be installed per deployment; each of these is referred to as a Horizon Replica Connection Server during the installation process. The limits of a Horizon Connection Server are discussed later in this section.
The following table outlines both the minimum and recommended hardware specifications of a Horizon Connection Server. The same specifications apply to both Horizon Replica Servers and Horizon Security Servers:
Like most other software platforms, the recommended guidelines should be followed to ensure that the Horizon Connection Server performs optimally.
