App-V helps eliminate conflicts between applications and removes the
need to install those applications on PCs
Improves Application Compatibility
• Prevents one app conflicting with another
• Prevents one app conflicting with other instances of itself
• Fixes many issues where app wouldn’t run as standard user
Enables Consolidation of Session Hosts
• No longer any need for silos of session hosts
• Allows session hosts to be homogenous
• Shared Cache saves substantial storage as deployment grows
Improves user profiles
• Application settings can be stored to network location / roamed
independently
• Increases usefulness of mandatory profiles

Infrastructure (VDI) Architecture
• Provides virtual machine-based, centralized desktops for individual
Personal users that can be fully customized based on user profiles
• Allows users to perform specialized tasks that require administrator
Virtual access to their desktop
Desktop • Enables users to access their personalized desktop from any computer
while retaining the last saved state
• Provides virtual machine-based, centralized desktop based on a pool of
Pooled virtual machines that are shared by multiple users
• Allows users to perform standardized routine tasks and have access to
Virtual common applications (such as Microsoft Office)
Desktop • Rolls back the state upon logoff to provide a “clean” desktop for the
next user’s session, but the previous user’s state can be saved offline
