This reduces storage costs and deployment time. Additionally, when changes are made to the Parent VM, these are proliferated to each of the linked clones, in a process called VMware recomposing. The difference in this approach to virtual desktop deployment is that rather than using the template process to create a virtual desktop – merely a "differences" or "delta" file is created. The reason they are called linked clones, is that fundamentally the source of clone's information comes from the read-only replica. From this replica, linked clones are created. A snapshot is taken of this Parent VM, and then a replica is generated.

In the VMware View Composer, you first create a single "master" virtual desktop, which is referred to as the Parent VM.

VMware Horizon View Composer is a feature in Horizon View that gives administrators the ability to manage pools of desktops that share a common virtual disk.
