Integrating App-V with VDI
As we've seen already, VDI is not a simple server we can just install in our organization to evaluate; this technology requires deep analysis before jumping into a decision to try it. Careful analysis is to be done when we decide to implement it, in order to smoothly complement our existing infrastructure.
If we have already implemented App-V 4.6 successfully in our organization, and we are evaluating VDI and its integration, the most important benefit we can take is the shared cache feature.
Shared cache and its benefits
