    SCCM R2 and SoftGrid Highlight review

    The full integration of MAV 4.5 (SoftGrid) and SCCM and how well it is done really makes me happy. I have made a short high light report on the most important points they have presented during MMS 2008.
     
    Infrastructure integration
    • the current SVAS infrastructure has been integrated into SCCM 2007 R2. By using HTTP and Virtual directories, it is now possible to stream any application from a IIS based Distribution Point.
    • HTTP streaming: SVAS used RTSP RTP protocols to manage streaming. The session I attended wasn't suitable to ask the presenter to elaborate on how streaming was  controlled via HTTP.  I'll add some info at this point when I know more!
    Console integration
    • All deployment activities are integrated into the SCCM console. MSFT took care to have all former SG UI actions to deploy applications to look like the regular work you do in SCCM when you deploy a classic application. Changes have been made to the Advertisements interface to allow streaming from an available distribution point. The DP properties window now contains a 'Streaming' tab to enable / disable streaming.

    Managed installation / deinstallation will only be available for virtualized applications, so if you are a package specialist and you do understand which way the word is coming to: You know which training / specialization you should choose.

    We're supporting http(s) streaming on the App Virt 4.5 client.  We'll support IIS 6.0 and 7.0.  There is no SoftGrid servers needed for http(s) streaming as this is a client transport change.

    This sounds very exiting!
