Hi David,

We did use Citrix User Profile Manager to manage the end user data. We recognize that AppSense and others offer expanded capabilities in this area. You are correct that we did not use AV protection in this Cisco Validated Design. We did not utilize published or streamed apps into the virtual desktops, generally considered double-hop scenarios.
Our objective in the Performance Solutions Team, is to demonstrate real world solutions at large scale. Our sister group, the Cisco VXI team, focus on integration of voice, AV, EUM, collaboration, and end points into their testing. Here is a link to their latest publication:

They will publish an update in early calendar Q2 2013.

Stay tuned for the next phase of our scale testing that will feature XenDesktop 5.6 HVDs with PVS write cache on local SSDs, XenDesktop 5.6 with Personal vDisk, and virtual XenApp 6.5 at a combined scale of 4000 seats.

Thanks for your comments!
