Application portfolio analysis is one of the most important
areas to focus on during the data-gathering process.
Understanding users' behaviors and workstyles is critical to
determining the proper design of the hosted virtual desktop
(HVD) environment.
It is important to develop a baseline for desktop
performance to determine whether the HVD will meet users'
expectations.

Hosted VirtualDesktop Rollout”, June 2012
