We saw how XenDesktop architecture has evolved. We began with the limitations of IMA and how those were addressed in FMA. We learned the basics of FMA, including the concepts, the terminology, all the components, its classification, and the FMA features. Then, we discussed the advanced FMA and explained the working of FMA as a whole. We also looked at the detailed architecture of all the important components. Finally, we moved onto the Project Accelerator for designing an FMA for your business custom requirements and capabilities. We learned that only knowing the architecture in detail won't help you in building an efficient deployment plan. You will need the knowledge of designing it, which involves the other key technologies.

In the next chapter, you'll learn how to design XenDesktop for the deployments in a layered approach. You'll also discover the design considerations for complex business requirements, such as high availability, scalability, App Orchestration for multi forest...
