Most of my apps are ie based..the amount of published or streamed apps will be less..only one third users might have xendesktop plus xenapp model..rest all just xendesktop.

Can I do mix and match..certain set users have write cache in vm ram and rest in San.

Users like executive mgmt may use few apps..like ms office..PowerPoint and couple of web apps and would it be good to have them on vm ram write cache.these guys will have one or two apps streamed or published via xenapp like ms project and visio
