When you think about the XenDesktop suite, it seems obvious to focus on its significance as a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure solution. This approach can be correct when creating a machine with the full set of applications already installed, not when we consider delivering only the specific applications for every domain user.

In this chapter, we are going to discuss this second approach, by the use of the three supported technologies to deliver applications to the user's desktops: the creation of the hosted applications, the Local Access Apps (LAA) with XenDesktop, and the most recent way to publish applications, the App-V platform developed by Microsoft. Moreover, at the end of this chapter, we will discuss AppDNA 7.6, a Citrix software that helps Citrix professionals in the application migration process between different releases of the Windows operating system.
