Chapter 2. Designing a XenApp 6.5 Farm

Now that we have learned about the features of XenApp and the new features of XenApp 6.5, it's time for us to start the design of our XenApp 6.5 farm. The most important step before any XenApp deployment is, to understand the features of the product and design the architecture.

In this chapter, we will take a look at the case study that we will use in the book to implement XenApp 6.5: Brick Unit Constructions.

In this chapter we will cover the following topics:

• Learning XenApp Farm terminology and concepts

• Designing a basic XenApp architecture

• Designing a basic Pilot plan

• Creating a list of applications to publish in our XenApp farm

• Reviewing a list of applications and deciding the best method to deliver them
