Determine Your Streaming Method

The first time that a user double-clicks the icon that has been placed on a computer through the publishing process, the Application Virtualization client will obtain the virtual application package content from a streaming source location.

Note   Streaming is the term used to describe the process of obtaining content from a sequenced application package, starting with the primary feature block and then obtaining additional blocks as needed.

 

The streaming source location is usually a server that is accessible by the user’s computer; however, some electronic distribution systems, such as Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager, can distribute the SFT file to the user’s computer and then stream the virtual application package locally from that computer’s cache.

Note   A streaming source location for virtual packages can be set up on a computer that is not a server. This is especially useful in a small branch office that has no server.

 

The streaming sources that can be used to store sequenced applications are described in the following table.
