# High-level architecture for App-V
>Applies to Windows 10, version 1607.
Use the following information to simplify your Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) deployment.
## Architecture overview
A typical App-V implementation consists of the following elements.
<table>
<colgroup>
<col width="30%" />
<col width="70%" />
</colgroup>
<thead>
<tr class="header">
<th align="left">Element</th>
<th align="left">Description</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="odd">
<td align="left"><p>App-V Management server</p></td>
<td align="left"><p>The App-V Management server provides overall management functionality for the App-V infrastructure. Additionally, you can install more than one instance of the management server in your environment which provides the following benefits:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Fault tolerance and high availability—installing and configuring the App-V Management server on two separate computers can help in situations when one of the servers is unavailable or offline.</p>
<p>You can also help increase App-V availability by installing the Management server on multiple computers. In this scenario, consider using a network load balancer to keep server requests balanced.</p></li>
<li><p>Scalability—you can add additional management servers as necessary to support a high load. For example, you can install multiple servers behind a load balancer.</p></li>
</ul></td>
</tr>
<tr class="even">
<td align="left"><p>App-V Publishing Server</p></td>
<td align="left"><p>The App-V publishing server provides functionality for virtual application hosting and streaming. The publishing server does not require a database connection and supports the following protocols:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>HTTP and HTTPS</p></li>
</ul>
<p>You can also help increase App-V availability by installing the Publishing server on multiple computers. You should also consider having a network load balancer to keep server requests balanced.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr class="odd">
<td align="left"><p>App-V Reporting Server</p></td>
<td align="left"><p>The App-V Reporting server lets authorized users run and view existing App-V reports and ad hoc reports for managing App-V infrastructure. The Reporting server requires a connection to the App-V reporting database. You can also help increase App-V availability by installing the Reporting server on multiple computers. You should also consider having a network load balancer to keep server requests balanced.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr class="even">
<td align="left"><p>App-V Client</p></td>
<td align="left"><p>The App-V client enables packages created using App-V to run on target computers.</p></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
>[!NOTE]
>If you are using App-V with electronic software distribution (ESD), you aren't required to use the App-V Management server. However, you can still use App-V's reporting and streaming functionality.
