A Nutanix automated farm consists of RDS hosts that are virtual machines provisioned by Horizon through Nutanix Prism Central.
The following are benefits of Nutanix automated farms:
-
Provisioning Nutanix clones is fast, using Nutanix redirect-on-write cloning technology, combined with Horizon ClonePrep customization. Also, Microsoft Sysprep customization is an option.
-
Patching a farm of RDS hosts through a rolling process with minimal downtime.
Horizon Connection Server creates the RDS virtual machines based on the parameters that you specify when you create the farm.
Before you create a Nutanix automated farm, you must prepare an RDS host golden image Nutanix template. See Prepare a Golden Image for An Automated RDSH Farm – Nutanix.
