The pilot plan
William wants to build a very simple infrastructure to test the product with some users and later add more features (and servers) to the deployment.
Hence, he creates a basic task list to deploy the XenApp design validation farm:
Design Active Directory integration.
Build a small test farm in the lab with three servers to test XenApp and applications and get some experience with the product.
Create a list of applications to publish in the XenApp farm.
Test the list of applications and decide the best method to deliver them.
If we are satisfied with the results, the next step will be to create a XenApp pilot farm or extend our XenApp design validation farm, and provide some users access to the farm. This will be discussed in more detail in the next chapter. However, a few tasks are described as follows:
Estimate the amount of XenApp applications Servers: In this step we need to calculate the number of XenApp application servers required. We can obtain an estimate based on the amount...
