VSIMax Local vs Streaming I/O Impact Phase 4: Impact AppVirt on
VDI
Slide 82
3 major AppVirt vendors: Citrix Application streaming Microsoft
App-V VMware ThinApp Office 2007 suite virtualized as 1 package
Different scenarios: streamed, precached, shared cache AppVirt on
VDI: test setup
Slide 83
Project VRCs goal is to investigate overall performance impact
of AppVirt in VDI. Project VRC does not recommend virtualizing the
Microsoft Office suite as an overall best practice.
