Microsoft Application Virtualization Advanced Guide
- Understand advanced topics in App-V; identify some rarely known components and options available in the platform
- Acquire advanced guidelines on how to troubleshoot App-V installations, sequencing, and application deployments
- Learn how to handle particular applications, adapting companys’ policies to the implementation, enforcing application licenses, securing the environment, and so on
- Virtualize server applications by using the upcoming platform Server App-V
- Step-by-step explanations to maximize the utility of App-V in your application infrastructure
Microsoft Application Virtualization Advanced Guide
Microsoft’s Application Virtualization technology has been emerging as one of the main platforms in application virtualization. This is mainly because more and more organizations are thinking about application virtualization as a valid implementation; also because App-V represents probably the most attractive solution. App-V introduces a new and efficient way to improve operating systems and application life cycles in organizations. However, if we want to maximize our investment we must learn that every scenario and application differs from another, as does complexity.
With Microsoft Application Virtualization Advanced Guide administrators will find detailed topics for understanding App-V components, architecture and implementation models; as well as step-by-step guidance to master App-V processes. There is also guidance on integrating App-V with other robust platforms like VDI, SCCM 2012 and even virtualizing server applications.
Microsoft Application Virtualization Advanced Guide will start by giving readers the means to discover unfamiliar topics in App-V, as well as understanding App-V’s architecture. By doing so, it will provide the baseline needed before shifting to advanced topics in App-V, like complex scenarios for sequencing and deploying applications.
The book details scripting within App-V, as well as handling the platform using the command line; there is a complete review of troubleshooting installations, sequencing and deploying applications.
Integration is another key component we will cover by introducing App-V in VDI and SCCM 2012. Server applications are not forgotten with Server App-V, using this book the reader will have a detailed understanding, with how-to steps to virtualize server applications.
What you will learn from this book
- Perform sequencing in complex environments including scenarios where App-V is normally not supported
- Deploy your applications using HTTP/S or configure standalone modes for local and SMB Streaming in complex scenarios such as adjusting communication ports for application delivery
- Get hands on in how to implement the scripting process within App-V applications and also review how to use App-V command lines
- Troubleshoot App-V
- Scale-up App-V implementations by using failover and load balanced scenarios
- Review App-V integration with VDI and Remote Desktop Services
- Integrate App-V with SCCM 2012
- Examine 3rd party tools available in App-V
Approach
A practical tutorial containing clear, step-by-step explanations of all the concepts required to understand the technology involved in virtualizing your application infrastructure.
Each chapter uses real-world scenarios so that the readers can put into practice what they learn immediately and with the right guidance. Each topic is written defining a common need and developing the process to solve it using Microsoft App-V.
Who this book is for
This book is for system administrators or consultants who want to master and dominate App-V, and gain a deeper understanding of the technology in order to optimize App V implementations. Even though the book does not include basic steps like installing App-V components or sequencing simple applications; application virtualization beginners will receive a comprehensive look into App-V before jumping into the technical process of each chapter.
