Figure 2 shows a connection to a virtual desktop with the Direct Connect plugin. All the features of the display protocol, such as USB redirection, function when connecting with Direct Connect.įigure 1 shows a connection to virtual desktop using the View Connection server. By using this plugin, an end user can connect directly to a virtual desktop using PCoIP, RDP or Blast Extreme without going through a View Connection server. The View Direct Connect Plugin was first released with View 5.3. Seeing how very few people are familiar with Direct Connect, I thought I'd give an overview of what it is, how to set it up and how to use it. In order to connect to my View 7 desktop without setting up a Horizon View 7 Connection Server, I used View Direct Connect Agent Plugin, which comes with Horizon View. I was doing work with my Horizon 6.2 environment, which I wouldn’t be able to upgrade for a few weeks. In order to work with the protocol, and write my article on Blast Extreme, I needed to connect to a virtual desktop running the Horizon View 7 agent from a Horizon 4 client. Blast Extreme is an interesting new feature, touted by VMware as being comparable to PCoIP. Horizon 7 includes Blast Extreme, a new remote display protocol.
