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 session delivery mechanism.

Understanding

1. Understanding Components

Planning

1. Preparing your environment

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

2. Capacity Planning and sizing

   Determining required capacity for implementation of HyWorks is crucial to achieving performance. Planning an deployment with performance in mind is the first step and the typical approach is to estimate the peak number of authentications and authorizations.

   Sizing provides guidance for estimating the hardware requirement for each component.

   Required configuration describes the operating system and other software requirements.

3. Planning for High Availability

4. Decide Deployment Type

5. Decide Authentication mode. If you decide not to use built-in authentication mode, make sure Active Directory or LDAP is installed.

6. Choose Session Delivery method

   1. Application Delivery (Pooled Virtual Application)

      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: Window 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
