Citrix at NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference (GTC) 2016 -

as part of my work, I go to a lot of conferences. I have at events around the world, and thus have more keynotes and breakout sessions seen as dear to me. I often have a hard time discriminating the event I went to where it was that I met, or what was the topic. There is one exception, however.

The only event that is by and is always memorable NVIDIA GTC.

GTC visual event that I go for every year, receive. I clearly remember from water made jump a panoramic 3D Wal, I Elon Musk talking about autonomous cars remember while a car drives itself across the stage.

GTC to the rest of the conferences has an unfair advantage, I have to go, as they have the coolest visuals on the planet. This makes sense if the likes of Pixar and Dreamworks are using NVIDIA technology to make their amazing movies. NVIDIA Demos the bar (which is why I tend to do GPU demos when I showing off Citrix technology) and GTC is where NVIDIA presented by the latest technologies.

I share this because next week is NVIDIA GTC and I'll be there (like many of my colleagues Citrix and more customers from Citrix). In fact, a group of customers has asked me to fly to a panel discussion about their use of vgpu lead XenDesktop and HDX 3D Pro, the expert implementation of Citrix and vgpu from the College of Engineering at Georgia Tech will include the ubiquitous Textron (make them attack helicopters on virtual desktops via a 3G-based WAN ... very cool stuff). I am thrilled to host this plate and expect it to be a lot of great discussion about the GPU space.

If you are in the area or have access to online, please check them out. Here is a list of meetings I highly recommend:

  • S6208 - Design Considerations of Real World Deployments of Graphics Accelerated Virtual Environments
    • us a glance on two real-world implementations of graphics accelerates virtual desktop infrastructure and design considerations that were respectively recorded. Georgia Tech and Textron Inc. their environment and the life cycle of CAD / CAM in discussing educational learning real world design with virtual desktop infrastructure that change, teach as both educational institutions Engineering, and also how companies the future of design in request embrace its younger workers. Connect the talks as our panelists respond to questions about their environment, their applications, and the life cycle of the educational applied engineering ecosystem
  • S6608 -. Virtualize Linux 3D applications with Citrix HDX 3D Pro

Trailblazer for Windows 10 at HP Discover -

In Windows 10 heaving like a consumerization driven tsunami in the direction of the company, the participants at HP Discover in London got key guidance on what to expect and how to prepare.

During past OS migrations have involved no shortage of pain and disorders for many organizations Windows XP end-of-life, anyone? -the introduction of the latest Microsoft platform can, if you pleasantly civilized approach it the right way, like Citrix and HP highlighted in Discover.

A new always Windows version large on the IT calendar looms, but Windows 10 promises a number of reasons to be particularly noteworthy.

For one thing, the upgrade is simple have released in July 2016 practically begging users to take the initiative and there are even already installed do-as millions and available. Millions more are the brand new Windows 10 devices BYOD, which hit the market this holiday season-especially the fancy new surfaces Pro devices that are easier than ever and better able.

Meanwhile, after the flop of Windows 8 is Gartner clients advising Windows 8.1 completely skip. in the first month of its publication, 10 windows to share a record for ease of use and Microsoft COO Terry Myerson predicts we will see a billion Windows 10 devices by 2018. together all of this, and the Windows-10- Timeline is clear from the IT in the hands. It is now so brace yourself.

Citrix and HP are here to help. You can 10 think of Windows in relation to the three questions on the migration:

  • How will you use apps-including legacy deliver apps not yet on the new platform to the Windows 10 certified devices your employees ?
  • How will your business applications on Windows 10?
  • migrate How you standardize on a Windows 10 corporate desktop image?

Desktop virtualization with Citrix XenDesktop and Citrix Receiver can help with all three. to begin to deliver the Citrix XenApp App virtualization functionality of XenDesktop to use your business to any device employees all apps, including Windows 10 PCs and tablets. HPE Enterprise Services teams use XenApp and Citrix Receiver to "fence" user communities and provide line-of-business applications to help people with Windows 10; People on earlier platforms can use these devices and continue.

to use to migrate your business applications on Windows 10, HPE Enterprise Services built the Citrix AppDNA app compatibility assessment tools in XenDesktop to determine whether to streamline your full range of legacy Windows applications to work properly in the new environment. If there is a compatibility problem with an application AppDNA will lead to a solution of their migration to Windows 10.

allow

, When you are ready, on one of the mixed environments of Windows 10 Corporate image standardize -a refreshing change in so many organizations today-the rapid provisioning technology found XenDesktop can be used with Windows 10 virtual in each every user immediately desktops, push out position. At this point, a single golden image in the data center greatly simplifies management, support and security.

HPE and Citrix let Windows approaching 10 Migration in the way that makes the most sense for your business, whether through a full outsourcing model with HPE Enterprise Services or by using HPE Technical Services help you to implement solutions in their own data center or in the cloud.

We also have tools and documentation can be made available, so that you can deploy services on their own. Even if your existing hardware not quite ready for Windows 10, desktop virtualization, you can make to the new platform on any device a gradual migration, while ensuring that each user can access all the applications required by their work.

Participants at Discover London the ins and outs of Windows 10 migration explored in a variety of meetings, presentations and demos, including our break-out session "Windows 10 and Office 365: You are here, but are ready , They?" (Session ID: TB7741).

have Also missed if you discover you can still access a wealth of information and resources 10 the painless OS migration nor ~~ POS = TRUNC a process to help you Windows most, use with the progress you, the benefits of desktop virtualization. You can explore start here:

Monitor XenDesktop and XenApp user on the globe with geo-card -

The network-related monitoring and reporting within Citrix NetScaler Director of the company HDX Insight, which is a powerful tool for End-end monitoring tool for Citrix HDX deployments, and that gives thorough insight into HDX traffic to packet-level information.

It enables administrators to proactively monitor the XA / XD installations and helps them pin show the exact problem that an end user is facing. It helps clear the administrator to answer: If is a user can access the applications? What applications a user accesses? Who are the logged-on user?

Following this, the latest version of NetScaler 11.0 It is now possible for the administrators to answer the question of Where a user access on an application? This function is called HDX Insight Geo Card . This function is available in NetScaler Insight Center® 11.0 product and accessible by the Trends> Network tab in the Citrix Director surveillance console.

Below are examples of applications that can respond to this function the administrator:

  • Top 5 Cities accessed from where the Outlook application
  • Top 5 countries from which the most number of users, the applications of the evening 19.00 and in the night access to 23:00
  • ICA RTT from Share File application when accessed from Boston office, compared to when they accessed from Seattle office
  • cities from which Steve has accessed the applications in the last 1 month

with this type of data and reporting available to an administrator of Director console, it is really easy as well a problem and make it better in terms of capacity planning to fix. The best part is, not only thoroughness of data, but also the ease with which they can be configured. Following are the public Geo IP and Private IP Geo steps, look to configure

Public Geo IP lookup .:

for showing the user to access the applications of public IP addresses, a geo-IP database according to the supplier recommendation help documentation must be uploaded in to NetScaler Insight Center. See Fig. 1, for more information about this

private Geo IP lookup.

For the user shows that access the applications of private IP addresses (such as the company intranet) private IP blocks need to be created in NetScaler Insight Center. See Figure 2 and Figure 3, for more information about this

see for these reports, log in Director console and then click the tab trends and continue in the network tab. Here you will be able to regularly HDX Insight Reporting to see that was formerly available with HDX Insight Geo cards that have been newly introduced. See Fig. 4 for the details of

The regions in the Geo Map are color based on the amount of metrics in this region, for example :. If ICA RTT in China than in India would more then China is filled to a darker shade of green. This helps quick visual conclusions. ICA RTT, bandwidth, WAN latency and DC Latency: The Geo-maps can be drawn as to different metrics. The following table may point downwards all regions with sorting and pagination available.

A region (country or state) of. Within the Geo-map or the links in the table below for seeing the details of the reporting can be clicked in the selected region See Fig. 5 for the same.

The mentioned applications earlier in this blog, can use the simple and visually appealing presentation and straight drill-down mechanisms, all the way easy and intuitive catered to trouble around the shooting.

When we're on the verge of the new year, it's only natural to take a look back and look at the year that was. 2015 :. It was a big year for Citrix

Citrix Happy New Year

We appreciate the work that we are doing here. We love the progress we share do and tell you about everything that has happened. In 2015 published Citrix employees 1,228 blog posts about hundreds of different topics.

in January we announced Citrix Workspace cloud: a comprehensive, cloud-based infrastructure, IT their Citrix technologies to manage administrators to not only a cloud, but every cloud. Citrix Workspace cloud provides technology on your terms, not bound by proprietary restrictions, as it should be.

In February we reflected forward to the resounding success of Citrix Summit, on Tech Previews of Citrix Workspace cloud XenMobile 10 and strengthened relationships with our Citrix partner .

we look further in March -to other and in ourselves-on the things that inspire us. We looked at the things that drive us better to be friends, a better society and a better man. This is one of the things that makes the heart beat of Citrix.

In April , we set our sites on Citrix Synergy . Instead every year in May, it is the leading conference of the industry to a secure application and data delivery. It is Citrix's largest event of the year and one in which we are very proud. , Pride in our partners and customers, pride in our corporate citizenship, and proud of the sharpness of our products

In May Citrix went to Orlando, Florida: the site of Citrix Synergy, 2015. We have the X1 mouse, promoted enhanced relationships and integrations with new partners and the characteristics of our core products.

Citrix that yesterday and today's world must coexist with the solutions of tomorrow and work in unison to be understood to support future growth and competitive advantage. Citrix strives to ensure that we each organization will move to the tempo of companies and the pace is very different depending on the individual customer to understand. We will get and allow , which continues to realize the benefits of customers existing investments, but they give flexibility and choice along their individual business transformation packages -. Christian Reilly, CTO of Citrix Workspace Services

June had us up and running with Citrix Share File by IT Brand Pulse is # 1 called in Enterprise File Sync & Sharing. One of the products at Citrix core, Share File is a game changer in the world of cloud collaboration.

in July Citrix (like most of the tech world) had their eyes 10. With solutions like AppDNA and XenMobile-ready on Day Zero for the highly anticipated release of Windows simple conversion Citrix customers never missed a beat .

August had us looking towards simplification. Against changes. Against choice. Against focus. We postulated that each is greater than one. We aligned our sites again and looked at the most important things to our customers and partners.

Come September solidified Citrix's position as market leader. XenDesktop (together with Citrix Share File, NetScaler and XenMobile) establishes itself as a leader in the VDI technology and technology, which paves the way to mobility, to facilitate enhanced security and superior user experience.

In October we kept our focus on our customers. We do not waste time on that to do with the business, but our attention was on what serves our customers and partners the best, on the way that could make Citrix best their worlds better (and not so very to play who likes whom better).

November saw our very first Blog-A-Thon, who presented countless contributions in our Converged Infrastructure team working on Cloud Platform and Citrix lifecycle management (among many others! We thought) our customers yes, and also the way that we work. We live in a time of change live, and Citrix is ​​changing along with (or in the future, if we can) it.

Now we have come late December. we proud of all we have achieved on our laurels in 2015, but not resting, as we roll around here. We know that it is changing only constant and that we change along with it right a worldly life. We look at what has come to.

Automating Citrix Events With NFC reader -

Citrix Summit is quickly approaching!

Chris Rogers and I deliver a talk at Summit on Monday night entitled "Enabling Sales and Service of Citrix Octoblu IoT Framework." Our plan is to provide an Internet of Things automation before the public to build with Octoblu drag-and-drop designer.

Because everyone finds a NFC wear nametag or badge is activated at the conference, we thought it would be cool to show how easy it would be to automate conference rooms or send Tweets, emails or text messages enter as a participant the room. This concept would be perfect for keeping track of visitors to your booth demo or follow-up sales calls to scan only by a badge.

Here is a short video of our idea to demonstrate!
