Image
In this post I will demonstrate the configuration that are required to deploy the VMware Enrollment Server s for High availability and redundancy. This includes two Certificate Authority CA’s and Enrollment Servers My colleague Tarique Chowdhury has an excellent post on the TrueSSO Lab Setup .

A comparative analysis of application delivery methods - XenApp vs. ThinApp vs. App-V

Image
What is application virtualization? I am attempting to answer this oft-asked question here. Besides application virtualization, let us look at various other methods of delivery too. The minor differences between vendors and their capabilities often confuse our decision-making. Let us see how my blog helps in addressing these questions and more. Let us first understand what the different types of Application Models are.
