Folder redirection and various profile technologies can optionally be used to storage user profile and user data. In the event that the virtual desktops are destroyed, you can simply re-create them from the golden image. The virtual desktops themselves do not need to be protected as there is no unique user data stored.
Other benefits include a limited need to back up the virtual machines and easier, less expensive disaster recovery and business continuity options. Non-persistent desktops have many advantages, such as being easier to support and having lower storage costs. They are primarily used by users who do not need to install or preserve their own applications. Non-persistent desktops are stateless images that are identical to one another. Since each persistent desktop is unique and must be preserved, backup and recovery technologies are important when considering strategies for business continuity. Persistent desktops can have low storage costs in conjunction with certain storage system technologies. These desktops might require traditional image management techniques. However, they consume more compute resources and are more difficult to manage by IT. Persistent desktops give users the highest degree of flexibility and control over their own desktops. If you already have virtual desktops or physical desktops created (vCenter virtual machines, non-vCenter virtual machines, or physical PCs), you can import them into VMware Horizon 8 as persistent desktops using the manual desktop pool with a dedicated-assignment. You can create automated pools of full-clone virtual machines. There are several ways to create persistent desktops in VMware Horizon 8: For example, users who need to install some of their own applications or have data that cannot be saved outside of the virtual machine itself (such as on a file server or in an application database) require a persistent desktop. Persistent desktops have data in the operating system image itself that must be preserved, maintained, and backed up.
Whether you use persistent or non-persistent desktops depends on the specific type of worker. The most fundamental question to consider is whether a certain type of user needs a stateful desktop image or a stateless desktop image.
