Citrix XenApp® 7.5 Desktop Virtualization Solutions

Summary

In this chapter, we looked at designing our infrastructure. In most environments, the infrastructure will be shared among multiple and different types of workloads. We discussed designing our workload independently of any preexisting constraints to determine where any bottlenecks are likely to occur. We started with defining our reference architecture, creating a picture of what our environment will look like. Based on this reference architecture, we can begin defining our resource requirements and build a design for our environment. We also discussed designing our virtualization platform, determining our underlying hardware components, and defining our networking and storage requirements.

Now we can begin our detailed design and build ...
