Basic flow diagram of how Composer VM & Instant Clone VM is created
.Slide28
Instant ClonesThe provisioning of instant clones is significantly faster than View Composer linked clones.
Instant clones are always created in a powered-on state, ready for users to connect to. Guest customization and joining the Active Directory domain are completed as part of the initial power-on workflow.When a user logs out, the desktop VM is deleted. New clones are created according to the provisioning policy, which can be on-demand or up-front.
With the push-image operation, you can re-create the pool from any snapshot of any parent VM. You can use a push image to roll out operating system and application patches.
When clones are created, View selects a datastore to achieve the best distribution of the clones across the datastores. No
manual rebalancing is necessary. View storage accelerator is automatically enabled.Transparent page sharing is automatically enable
View Composer Clone:
The replica or the VM has to be copied initially with VAAI (vStorage
API for Array
Integration) may
Might generate more IOPS during process and continue to maintain same level of IOPs until deployment is complete.
Instant Clone:
Instant clone deployment might spike CPU during the initial stage of the replica cloning and generate more IOPs . Replica will be cloned without VAAI integration. Overall initial clone generate less IOPS for completing the deployment
Less Deployment times with instant clones
VMs ready for use instantly.
Composer Clones
View Composer is a feature of Horizon with View which allows administrators to easily manage pools of similar desktops by creating golden master or parent images that share a common virtual disk. All cloned desktops linked to a parent image can be patched or updated through View Administrator by simply updating the single master image, without affecting users’ settings, data, or applications.
Full CloneA full clone is an independent copy of a virtual machine that shares nothing with the parent virtual machine after the cloning operation. Ongoing operation of a full clone is entirely separate from the parent virtual machineSlide29

Cloud Provider Success
“Cisco gives us the scalability, performance, and efficiency to deploy and expand desktop as a service rapidly for our customers, no matter where those end users are located.”Tim Burke, President and Chief Executive Officer
“
Cisco management makes deployment incredibly easy with high levels of automation for the virtual environment. We can add additional capacity in hours or scale out hundreds of desktops in minutes.”
