Mirage Administration The VMware Mirage Administrator's Guide provides information about how to deploy Mirage to your endpoints and configure the Mirage system. With Mirage, you can manage base layer and app layer images, desktop operations such as disaster recovery and hardware and operating system migrations, and monitoring, reporting, and troubleshooting. Intended Audience This information is intended for the Mirage administrator. The information is written for experienced Windows system administrators who are familiar with typical Windows Data Center environments such as Active Directory, SQL, and MMC. VMware, Inc. 9 VMware Mirage Administrator's Guide 10 VMware, Inc. Mirage System Components 1 Mirage software centralizes the entire desktop contents in the data center for management and protection purposes, distributes the running of desktop workloads to the endpoints, and optimizes the transfer of data between them. The Mirage components integrate into a typical distributed infrastructure, with the following relationships between the system components: n Mirage clients connect to a Mirage server, either directly or through a load balancer. n The administrator connects to the system through the Mirage Management server. n Mirage servers and the Mirage Management server share access to the back end Mirage database and storage volumes. Any server can access any volume. VMware, Inc. 11 Figure 1‑1. System Components LAN LAN Remote Branch uploads/Litterature/ mirage-administrators-guide.pdf
