Deliver applications and desktops
If you do not have it Naturally, the great news is that in Excalibur Tech Preview there is just a console and an infrastructure to deliver hosted server applications (aka. published applications), server desktops hosted (aka office published), and applications hosted desktops (aka. VM hosted applications) and personal workstations (aka VDI.). What is not immediately obvious from this statement, and where some of the huge wins in terms of handling are coming in the range of operating systems supplied from a single infrastructure, which is what we will explore in part II. The blog of Leo on FlexCast 2.0 highlighted the role of Agent Virtual Delivery (VDA) in communication with backend delivery controllers (servers that create and manage server workloads and desktop).
The graph below shows the clear separation of workloads to the end user (desktop or server machines managed in catalogs) distribution groups that allocate resources to users. This is great news for XenApp Admins because it means that you can simultaneously manage and applications and host workstations from Windows Server 2012 and R2 server Windows Server 08 from a console single and infrastructure. If you are familiar with XenDesktop then you can deliver Windows XP, 7 and 8 workstations as well. For anyone who requires 16 or 32 bit legacy applications, you host on Windows XP and Windows 7 workstations. What happens when you need to deploy a newly released operating system for users? The infrastructure does not need to be updated, it can handle new workloads too; just create a new master image with the new operating system and install an updated virtual delivery agent and create a new catalog.
a catalog of the machine is a collection of machines that share a common master image, for example, all servers running Windows 08R2 with applications and common fixes are stored separately from those running Windows 2012. catalog is analogous to a XenApp working group, except Excalibur each working group may have a different operating system; as the graph above shows the operating system can include desktop operating systems normally reserved for XenDesktop deployments. . Note, if a catalog contains remote PC, or physical servers, so you can mix operating systems. This is because physical machines are not related to provisioning technology.
If you need to apply new patches, new applications, the latest VDA, or a new version of Receiver simply update the main image, click "Updating image 'studio and in all virtual servers or workstations that have been created by machine Creation services (MCS) will be updated with the changes. More support is too simple, just run the wizard "Add machines providing multiple servers or workstations
delivery Groups
The delivery groups are a group of users who need access to a common set of applications and desktop resources, and require the same experience of the end user (policies, profiles, personal storage) through these resources. A group of delivery can combine multiple catalogs, you can offer all the user needs to do their job. For example, users assigned to the Finance distribution group can consume Windows 7 desktop (Win 7 catalog) and-hosted applications like Office, SAP (Windows 2012 App Catalog); the desktop and applications are delivered with a consistent user experience from a single distribution group.
Definition of the experience of the end user in the distribution group means Admins do not need to duplicate or maintain those settings to multiple pools of resources. Definition of the experience of the end user in the distribution group means Admins do not need to duplicate or keep these settings across multiple resource pools and the backend resources can be changed without affecting the user experience
Example usage -Cases Catalogs and delivery groups
users in the "Delivery Group Migrate 'below are all using Windows XP machines from a catalog called" Win XP ". To migrate users and preserve the settings of the experience of the end user of Windows 7, the administrator simply creates a new catalog containing Windows 7 workstations, adds to the "Migrate Delivery Group '. Users can instantly access Win 7 workstations in the receiver, with the same customization and policy settings that XP. All problems and they can still log on Win XP, when you are ready to remove XP machines simply remove the Delivery Group
Example 2 -. Mix and matching Catalogs
In the example of finances earlier the team needed a Win 7 desktop with Office, SAP and internal HR system, assume that you must deliver these applications to the department engineering and specialized CAD workstations. You create a new high specification catalog Win 7 virtual machines which include CAD software and 8GB of RAM and two vCPUs. Next just create the new group Delivery CAD Worker affect the Engineering Unit Active Directory Organization, set up a large HDX experience and allocate machines Win 7 desktop CAD Catalog and hosting catalog Office, SAP and HR applications Server 2012.
This is the simplified management in studio, stay tuned for more Excalibur blogs including one on monitoring and resolution of problems with the manager.
