Now that you understand what each of the individual components is used for, the next step is to look at how they all fit together to form the complete solution.

We are going to break the architecture down into three parts. The first part will be focused on the application-delivery and virtual desktop machines from an end user's perspective.

In the second part, we will look more closely at the supporting and underlying infrastructure, that is, from an IT administrator's point of view.

Finally, in the infrastructure section, we will look at the infrastructure with a networking hat on and illustrate the various network ports we will require to be available to us.

So let's go back and look at our first part: what the end user will see.

In this example, we have a virtual desktop machine running Windows as the starting point of our solution. Onto that virtual desktop machine, we have installed an App Volumes Agent.

We also have some core applications already installed onto...
