NAV R2 & APP- Virtulization

postsaurav

Hi experts,

I want to replace Citrix server, and use NAVISION 2009 R2 to do same process.

I read that it can be done using NAV R2 and App- Virtualization. I read so much but unable to find that how to-

1) Download a trial version of App- Virtualization.
2) How to configure the app- virtualization with NAV R2.


I read so many document from MSDN but they are preety confusing.

If anyone know how we have download and configure the same, please let me know.

Thanks
Regards,
Saurav Dhyani

You don't need app Virtual.
You can run NAV R2 without it. Just VPN into your network and run RTC.

Does performance still suck if you VPN using RTC? I know with classic, logging in remotely using VPN, the performance was unbearable.

the network requirement is 1 Mbps client connection and the performance is ok with 10 to 15 light users. (things like printing large report will degrade the performance) Also you'll need at least a T1 at server to handle the network bandwith. Also having low ping is important.
The VPN is just for security. You can open your firewall and allow users to connect directly.
I don't think VPN adds any noticeable overhead.

Aren't you restricted to running RTC reports? This means all the reports the user calls should be in the new format.

You are not restricted. The performance won't be optimal.
