# High Level Architecture for App-V
|
||
|
||
**Applies to**
|
||
- Windows 10, version 1607
|
||
|
||
Use the following information to help you simplify you 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">More information</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, a network load balancer should also be considered so that server requests are 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. A network load balancer should also be considered so that server requests are 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 enables authorized users to run and view existing App-V reports and ad hoc reports that can help them manage the 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. A network load balancer should also be considered so that server requests are 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 are not required to use the App-V Management server. However, you can still utilize the reporting and streaming functionality of App-V.
