Microsoft Application Virtualization Advanced Guide

With virtualization, there are multiple solutions that can be combined to create a personlized architecture for a company.  One of those options is application virutualization.  Augusto Alvarez does a good job in explaining the architecture and components involved in Microsoft's App-V as well as the overall lifecycle and architecture of an App-V solution.

For those that have a little experience, the second chapter is where they might want to jump to.  The second chapter goes into sequencing applications, this is where App-V engineers want to pay attention to make sure the process is done correctly and Augusto goes over this very well.  Chapter 3 talks about deploying the package just created.  The next bit that is very important for an App-V engineer is troubleshooting and chapter 5 handles this nicely.  What happens next depends on your environment, but Augusto has this handled as well.  Whether you need to scale out your deployment, integrate SCCM, or integrate it into your VDI environment, the information is well layed out.

You should have looked into App-V or have some experience prior to reading this book as it hits the ground running, but for those that want to get the most out of App-V, you should read this book.  To read more about this book, please click on the link below:
