VMware Desktop Search
In VMware Horizon, desktops often start fresh from an image – a local search index would be empty at every sign-in. Lookeen Server gives every session one central, current index.
Why Lookeen Server in virtual environments
One index instead of hundreds
The server indexes mailboxes and file servers once, centrally. Sessions don’t index anything themselves – sparing CPU, memory and storage on the hosts.
Search in the browser
Search runs in any browser in the session, nothing to install in the image. The Lookeen app and the Outlook add-in can be added via MSI.
Ready instantly
Even non-persistent desktops have the complete, current index from the first moment.
Rights stay intact
Results only appear for people with access in Active Directory, Exchange or on the file server.
Notes for VMware
- Instant clones: non-persistent desktops search the server’s complete index right away.
- Persistent desktops: here, Lookeen Desktop with an index on persistent storage is an alternative.
- Spare storage: no index per desktop means fewer IOPS and less space in the datastore.
