Quick Start Workflow

To start using HyWorks to deliver virtual applications and desktops, you will need to understand and plan to install and enable server—and client-side components, install third-party software to meet prerequisites, and finally configure the session delivery mechanism.

Understanding

1. Understanding Components

Planning

1. Preparing your environment

There are several prerequisites and configurations that must be considered before deployment. Pre-requisites list the software you must install before installing HyWorks.

1. Capacity Planning and sizing

Determining the required capacity for implementing HyWorks is crucial to achieving performance and smoothly running VDI systems. Planning a deployment with scale in mind is the first step, and the typical approach is to estimate the concurrent user load on servers.

Sizing guides estimate the hardware requirement for each component.

Required configuration describes the operating system and other software requirements.

1. Planning for High Availability

2. Decide Deployment Type

3. Decide on Authentication mode. If you decide not to use built-in authentication mode, ensure Active Directory or LDAP is installed.

4. Choose the Session Delivery method.

5. Application Delivery (Pooled Virtual Application)

   1. Decide the OS on which applications need to be delivered: Windows or Linux.

   2. Shared Hosted Desktop (Pooled Virtual Desktop)

      Decide the OS which needs to be delivered: Windows or Linux

   3. Dedicated Desktop (Personal Virtual Desktop)

      Decide the hosting platform: Hyper-V, VMWare, or Nutanix

      Decide the OS which needs to be delivered: Windows or Linux

Installation

Ensure that all the relevant HyWorks components are installed.

Session Delivery

Once the product is installed, check the Session Delivery Workflow and follow the OS-specific steps for configuration:

1. Windows Based Delivery
2. Linux Based Delivery
