Reviewing SCCM and App-V integration

Integrating the System Center Configuration Manager with App-V is much simpler with the new versions of these two platforms. Let's review some of the benefits, considerations, delivery methods, and components required.

Benefits of integrating SCCM and App-V

There are several benefits of using SCCM and App-V as an integrated platform instead of separate technologies. Let's review some of the most important ones:

• Optimizing your infrastructure: If we have already implemented SCCM in our environment, not integrating with App-V could translate into larger costs for management, troubleshooting, complexity, and hardware. Since we will need to implement the Streaming Server functionality separately from distribution points, this role in Configuration Manager can fulfill the streaming process without acquiring big changes in our implementation.

• Improving client targeting: System Center Configuration Manager brings you the possibility of deploying normal and virtual...
