Virtual applications (office scenario)

Overview

Application virtualization decouples applications from the underlying operating system and deliver the applications as a service to end users. Users can use the applications bound to their user accounts on any endpoints without having to worry about installation or security issues.

Restrictions and guidelines

Configuration workflow

  1. Set up cloud desktops in bulk as application servers:

    1. Create a system image.

    2. Create a VDI desktop image based on the system image.

    3. Build the desktop image:

      • Install an operating system and application software.

      • Configure DNS settings and install the CAStools and VdiAgent .

      • Configure system optimization settings.

      • Enable the remote assistance service.

    4. Create a desktop pool based on the built desktop image. A desktop pool for virtual applications must use the VDI and physical host desktop type and application server pool as the desktop pool type.

    5. Deploy cloud desktops based on the desktop image in the desktop pool.

  2. Create an application server based on a deployed cloud desktop. After Space Console connects to the application server, you can obtain the applications available to publish on the server. For more information, see "Application servers."

  3. Create an application group to publish the available applications on the application server to designated users, user groups, or OUs. For more information, see "Application groups."

  4. After logging in through the Space Console client, a user can view the applications published by the application server on the Virtual Applications tab and use the applications as needed.
