So far, we have learned about the FMA components, concepts, and features. We'll now dive into FMA, representing the positioning and functioning of its components and their communications, which deliver the virtual desktops to the end users.

FMA exhibits elasticity and expandability by design. It supports the components across the varying infrastructures. These features reflect in its layered/modular architecture by grouping the common components to ease the understanding of the overall communication flow. The modular architecture consists of the five layers that cover all the key design decisions. This makes it easier for the architects to focus on the technologies involved in each layer of the overall architecture, it also helps in streamlining their assessment and design decisions. In the image shown later, you can see a high level description of FMA, its five layers, and their importance.
