Currently, several customers using NetScaler as a central resource consumption for use in large data centers to perform compensation.

If the application NetScaler switch as> = L3 switch is used, it is setup as a proxy. However, this leads to a loss of the client source IP. As a result, we have to insert the client connection information as part of the original data stream.

. For HTTP and SSL services, this is done by inserting the ClientIP address as HTTP header on the request to the server This is not possible for TCP-based services .

This disadvantage solved this feature . According to the three-way handshake with the server, a single packet is sent from the additional data to the server. This data is the 32-bit binary representation of the value entered as the CIP header, and then the complete TCP / IP header information for the packet will be prefixed, which are constructed induces the back-end connection.

This data begins with the start of the IP header to the end of the TCP header, including IPv6 extension headers, IPv4 options and TCP options accordingly. As such, the correct logic in the application must be included to ensure that the correct fields are analyzed

An additional package will be sent by the NetScaler to the server side, the following information :.

• Variable length: Client-side session information, there is a copy of the final ACK packet in client-side connection is used (only headers)
• IPV6 :. Basic IPv6 header is copied to the server side as it is. NetScaler does not have dual-stack IPv6 rather converts IPv6 packet to IPv4 and Layer 3 and after the upper layers processes the packet. Again, the packet of IPv4 is translated to IPv6. While convert original IPv6 header to IPv4 for TCP level proxing all extension headers are ignored. But for TCP CIP, we copy the original IPv6 basic header and forwards on the server side.

client IP header sample format that will be sent in the data array

Today's post is brought to you by Shane O'Neill & Citrix CTP Paul Stansel brought

migrations are a fact of life for any IT system administrator. For Citrix administrators, it is certainly no different.

Perhaps you replace hardware. You may update your infrastructure. Or maybe you go with some M & A activity with 5000 users that need to be moved from Friday, or you're all fired!

Whatever the cause, eventually you will be required to migrate VDI population between the infrastructures. become the larger the population, the more complex the process. Without proper planning and an understanding of the potential hazards for yourself deep in a hole ... many months down the road on a migration project and there is no end in sight see easily.

Sometimes a migration can be as simple as removing VDI from a XenDesktop farm and add it to another. More often than not though, it is not as simple as that. There are many different components that bind your XenDesktop environment. How are all of these are going to be affected by the migration? Do they require changes to be able to support the VDI from its new location? More importantly, they can use the new XenDesktop Farm also interact?

If you are planning to VDA as part of your migration to upgrade, you must ensure that you sufficient for the upgrade process to plan and where possible perform the upgrade before the new Farm migrate. If you change XenDesktop versions, you should closely examine the policy settings in the new farm for new guidelines that you need to implement. It could also be the case that a policy which you have on your old farm and is no longer available in the new farm. Remember, XenDesktop policies are not exportable between the sides because they contain location-specific information.

The VDA and XenDesktop policy to take into account some of the considerations that you need to take in. It is also very important that the underlying hypervisor tools your storefront environment and infrastructure such as Citrix Director Address should be addressed. Ensuring the proper preparation by reviewing and these components addressing where will ensure necessary that you are ready for the main event: Migration

When it comes to the process of migration itself, should if you work with VDI 20 or 20,000 of the same 5-stage process for each VDI apply. Check, Prepare, removing, adding and verifying.

Following the requirements for each of these steps will greatly increase migration success rate. We know this can be very time consuming, and this is where automation comes in to play. advantage of the XenDesktop SDK and some programming knowledge by which we can make the end of this whole process run with the simple click of a button to finish. This automation can migrate us in a large batch of several hundred VDI go.

Join me and Paul at Citrix Synergy in Las Vegas for the session SYN326 , where we share our experiences, these large-scale migration is carried out along with tips, processes, procedures and even automation code to avoid things absolutely, and free tools is your migration regardless successfully the size of what is sure.

your applications require the availability, performance and security, NetScaler delivers, but your application architectures change. The technologies that support your applications are constantly changing

Virtualization is now not only for servers. Now the network is always virtualized. Many of you have to automate the delivery of cloud platforms to deploy your infrastructure. Some of you move to support on Linux Containers Micro Services applications. At each stage of this transformation applications are more distributed and dynamic. As a result, the infrastructure to application architectures changing needs to respond. Application services infrastructure must be virtualized and automated.

The companies want flexibility, adaptability and speed of SDN

organizations like yours make the transition to a software-defined network model for a number of reasons. According to Network World Year The state of the network survey , 39% of larger companies and 28% of smaller companies want to increase network flexibility. Similar percentages of organizations want to increase adaptation of the network.

Many of you want faster network service configuration and delivery. You want simplified network operations and management. An improved ability to automate network functions. Improved network availability and availability, and of course you want to reduce OPEX and reduce CAPEX.

applications have availability, performance and security

How do you look to SDN and cloud, you still have the benefits of NetScaler for your applications. NetScaler ensures the availability, performance and security of your applications. We like to call the universal front end for your applications.

How many of you know, doing things like NetScaler load balancing and health monitoring for availability, and caching and compression for power. It makes it possible to relieve TCP and SSL connections your servers run faster and help VPNs for connectivity and AppFW application security and HDX and Web access for visibility and troubleshooting. all this to provide for your changing application architectures must NetScaler to change.

SDN is redirecting the focus from hardware to software

changed as a result of these changes in application architectures and the move to SDN and cloud Citrix has its focus more on software itself. NetScaler is integrated as a software, so that you get the same functions on all platforms.

Now we integrate NetScaler in an automated and virtualized services-oriented architecture. This is so that we can help you to have your goals, and an automated response application delivery infrastructure for any application environment to meet. This is something that we have focused on for some time, and we will continue to develop NetScaler for these new application environments.

NetScaler as a framework for SDN and cloud

In order for NetScaler to work in these new environments, we pursue a strategy that we developed a few years ago. It is based on deployment flexibility and function, feature parity across physical appliances, virtual appliances, and multi-tenant units. It has an automation framework that sets APIs fully the capabilities of NetScaler platform, so we can our management system delivery NetScaler automate services. This management framework, we can integrate with cloud and SDN systems to deliver a complete solution.

NetScaler Management

returns across the value pyramid A lot of the features that you need, are made possible by our management system. We have expanded our management platform to do more than ever before. It combines everything you need to deliver all from one platform services across all application types. It is the automation for programming configuration of NetScaler, actionable analytics and reporting to help you optimize performance and troubleshooting. Our application-centric approach means that applications can be discovered and network policies can be applied automatically. As you can move to a hybrid enterprise cloud to manage your equipment in your own data center and the cloud of a platform. Unified management means that all NetScaler appliances including Cloudbridge can be managed and end-to-end service delivery.

To learn more, in our meeting at Citrix Synergy

In this session, we will discuss how NetScaler to support your SDN and cloud-enabled applications has changed. First we will take a look at trends in application architectures that drive the transition to cloud and SDN. Then we will see how NetScaler with OpenStack integrated NetScaler service delivery and how the Nuage VSP system automates the virtual network connectivity between application components in our solution to automate

• deliver the right experience
• to increase dismantling silos and cooperation in IT and the business?
• IT as a strategic function positions

, the answer might surprise you. The secret lies with end users.

This is the environment in which people thrive, and the fruit will reap when you see it to make an impact on employee satisfaction and business objectives " -. Nicole Nesrsta, Solutions Marketing

I love the light bulb for IT teams go to see if you recommend to involve their end before the roll-out of new technologies. There is such a feature in a car pointed out that she had run for years, but they never recognized. "I can do that? I can to my end-users of the technology go use talking?" Yes! And the knowledge you gather from your end user's eyes and feel their frustration or joy with the technology and services that will deliver you to make your future roll-outs easier and with greater acceptance.

Over the past year we have dealt with the customer so that they see themselves as strategic to think customer experience organizations. We have used well-known customer experience tools. Travel mapping, workshops, rapid iteration and brainstorming

The response from these IT leaders was amazing

[1945012"] My organization has our approach with our business partners and end users fundamentally changed. We are now in a strategic position to have insights within our organization and a methodology that establishes us for better results and success. "- Healthcare IT Director

" When approached by the business ipads roaming employ nurses, we went out into the field, interviewed and observed the nurses and quickly realized that they have there is no technology problem , are other forces at work that make them unproductive. We could go to the business, as a consultant, with insights that had nothing to do with it. "

I am happy to announce that" how well your end users know? "Sessions again this year Synergy. You will have two 0-minute opportunities with Journey Mapping to engage methodology focuses on an end user different from a" taste "how thinking can get to work in your organization.

this interactive, hands-on sessions you will give an opportunity to learn how end users uncover pain points, Make solve iT challenges and impact on iT and business goals to improve.

to encounter success Sustaining

a leading provider of customer contact management solutions and services in the business process outsourcing (BPO) arena implemented a Citrix virtualization solution XenDesktop and NetScaler with two challenges:

1. overheads caused by an inefficient use of space in its reduce brick and mortar call center
2. with a new virtual model of the traditional means blend home-based agents with, added through an acquisition

the Senior Director of Global IT Infrastructure and his team worked with Citrix consulting to architect and deploy the Citrix virtualization environment that a VDI desktop from companies and telephony applications to on-site and home-based agents provides safe.

Once the environment in place was, it became clear that the small and super busy IT team did not have the expertise, time and number of employees, so as to properly monitor. And monitoring is crucial, as the senior director explains:

First, call centers are our 'checkout. "If agents can not work, revenues are affected, while the expenses on And with the central Citrix model, if one server fails, more agents will be affected -. They are no apps or telephony have

Secondly, many of our smaller customers. do not have a back-up system for answering calls. they rely on us and we can not let them down.

He turned to managed services for professional monitoring ability Citrix until his team could have the necessary skills and experience to collect this function to take over. [1945006[

benefits of Managed Services

The only constant in life is change. Nowhere is this more true than in the world of information technology. Microsoft announced in July 2015 10 availability of Windows and thus there have been reports of the forecasts were that hundreds of millions of devices would run from Windows 10 to mid 2016th

Where you are in the process of adopting Windows 10? At Citrix, we think that you can use the power of the Share File to move 10 to Windows Help and user mobility improve

Traditionally, the discussion about the adoption of new software revolves around two words :. "Why" and "when." "Why" generally surrounding a new function (or set of functions), the new / improved functionality, better performance or offer both. "As a" well ... that's not so easy and will trigger more questions usually:

• Is my device compatible
• What about my applications are compatible [1945007?]
• How long take to upgrade?

Over the years, Citrix has to help a big job Customers maneuver carried out by projects OS migration and all the changes that have resulted. For example, XenDesktop simplifies migrations by separating substantially the physical hardware from the operating system (VDI - Simplify your migration to Windows 10 and beyond). XenApp allows users to connect applications regardless of device and operating system. This can help the introduction to the rationalization and new software upgrade from above many compatibility issues addressing

But what about the data -. Both business and private - who lives on the devices involved in the upgrade?

data drives decisions and if you have questions to think about, it is the availability of data is handled by the hardware, which keeps it at night step. This is where Citrix Share File can help! Share File is Citrix industry leading hybrid cloud file sharing solution. It has been positioned by Gartner as a leader in Enterprise File Sync and Share (EFSS) market.

recognized with Share File, you can set the data free of the hardware and remove the dependency on a single device to achieve your daily tasks. If you want to see how Citrix Share File can support your motion on Windows 10, please check Citrix Share File facilitates IT migration to Windows 10. Find a better understanding of how de-coupling data gain from your devices can help , the movement to new operating systems ... today and in the future.

Great things come in small packages! In today's tech world everything is getting smaller and more powerful - except for smartphones they seem to be getting bigger). From PC server, the difference in size and power over the last 10 years has been nothing short of astonishing.

From the first time I saw the Moonshot system I knew it was a game changer and decisions due to the size. Over the years, the cartridges have become more powerful with faster chipset and faster storage that corresponds to a better computing history. All this is done with a simple piece of hardware, the 7-inch is only 7 inches long around! Over the years, the scalability has only increased for each cartridge, while the size of the cartridge, the same, which is a testament HPE Moonshot engineering effort has remained. As with my previous Moonshot cartridge blogs the new hardware can break into more depth to bottom.

The M510 has so far provided by the HPE and Intel Moonshot team undoubtedly the strongest cartridge! This amazing piece of hardware, the Intel Broadwell 8 or 16 core and delivers up to 128GB of RAM!

This animal a cartridge provides more computing resources than any of his predecessors. While the M510 dislike Iris Pro graphics include allow m710x brother, in the storage and processing it without handle its gains even a blink many non-GPU-based applications. For those customers who hosted their applications in XenApp and computing and storage are intense, met this solution and exceed these challenges all while bare metal! Now, if the idea of ​​using XenServer crossed your mind then you are in luck as M510 may also running XenServer for delivering virtual desktops.

As the m710x the M510 also has HPE iLO functionality as the installation of Windows Server 2012R2 or XenServer is simple and fast. iLO can be accessed either indirectly from the chassis manager IP. Alternatively, direct access to the ILO the cartridge, simply browse the https syntax: // CM IP: / 735 + (cartridge #) or https://10.95.1.21:765. 10.95.1.21 is my Chassis Manager IP address, 765 = 735 + Cartridge #. For my m750 its cartridge # 30

show Recent testing scalability with Login VSI 4.1.5 is that this mega-cartridge can be extremely well-scaled. Let's look at the Login VSI and cartridge performance results have a look. The performance results are installed in the following of a series of tests with the M510 and bare-metal Windows 2012R2, XenDesktop 7.8, 7.8 PVS and UEFI Boot. A series of tests were repeated Login VSI lead to the knowledge worker workload and applications such as Office 2013, Adobe and other base as part of this workload.

The average number of users of knowledge workers workloads Login VSI Max to was 138 with 145 user to be active at the time of the test. The baseline of 780 was consistent with additional tests that were repeated. The High scalability policy template on the Desktop group for all users Login VSI was applied.

CPU performance of the M510 while the 145 user test. The maximum CPU utilization was around 93% during the peak of the test without the processor to fully saturate.

With 128 GB DDR4 RAM of the knowledge worker workload leave more than enough storage. An average of 71GB of RAM was used for 145 meetings with 57GB RAM left. Since it was used a lot of RAM and NVME disk space available, the PVS cache RAM type with overflow on the hard drive was.

, the M510 cartridge was collected power from the chassis manager with a maximum of used every 15 to 30 seconds 102 watts . The following table shows the performance as meetings were consumed logged. Since we RBSU access now with iLO we have also ensured that the maximum power settings were applied to the M510 cartridge.

The average XenApp session was about 0.74 of 1 Watt per session ! At this standby VCR mode into perspective used 7x times more watts than a XenApp session in our tests.

Now let look at the traditional office workers. In the tests clerk were 178 repeatedly active XenApp sessions with a series of tests and a VSI MAX 167.

CPU POWER ON of M510 during the 178 user test. The maximum CPU utilization was around 92% during the peak of the test with a maximum of 97% without saturating the processor fully.

An average of 81Gb RAM was used 178 active XenApp sessions with 42GB RAM remains. Since it was used a lot of RAM and NVME disk space available, the PVS cache RAM type with overflow on the hard drive was.

Power from the Chassis Manager Web ILO was collected used this time for the M510 cartridge with a maximum of 91 Watt . The following table shows the power consumed as sessions were logged with an average of 0.61 of 1 watt per user.

In summary, that new advances with the seat HPE M510 Moonshot cartridge, Citrix XenApp thin wire technologies and the Intel chipset have Broadwell made great progress, provide in the, what could be the lowest watts per user, lowest cost per user and best user experience - all in one small device. In fact, size matters!

at Citrix Synergy 2016, we announced that we now also Windows 10 on the XenApp and XenDesktop 7.6 Long Term Service release (LTSR) Add Compatible components list. There has been a lot of customer interest in LTSR; but we know that many are also seeking you, on Windows 10. To pass, adding Windows 10 as a compatible component gives you the flexibility of adding Windows to break 10 VDAS your LTSR sites without compliance rules. Many cheered for announcing you and we immediately got requests for more information and details on search, as 10 to implement Windows 7.6 LTSR. This blog entry aims to provide more context and clarity around the announcement available.

Let me start by sharing background information before explaining the changes we make. When we first announced the general availability of XenApp and XenDesktop 7.6 LTSR January 2016, we have three categories of components:

• compliant components: components are includes required to be certain basic version level compliant for your site LTSR and entitled to the full benefits of such a longer life and regular cadence of cumulative updates to be corrections. Some examples of compatible components Delivery Controller, VDA and Citrix Studio etc.
• coordinated components: to enable the components you may have in your environment skills see convincing; However, it is in your interest, these components keep more up to date. These are components like AppDNA, Citrix license server, etc. As for technical details, these components are not eligible for LTSR advantages, but you can use them with your LTSR without affecting the benefits LTSR your compatible components.
• [1945006BemerkenswerteAusnahmen] they are components or features that only not well suited for extended life, as this newer technology typically is that we are making significant improvements planning over time. This is where Windows 10 was when we originally launched 7.6 LTSR into life.

You can learn 7.6 LTSR Base release documentation on XenApp and XenDesktop more about these categories. When we launched 7.6 LTSR earlier this year, we included 7.6.300 server and desktop VDA. The 7.6.300 VDA was the first release to support XenDesktop 10 window and it was added to the novel at the time to the LTSR release; therefore 10 window was excluded from the 7.6 LTSR release and in the Notable exclusions list

Since then, we continue to add new features and hardened our support for Windows 10 platform on XenApp and XenDesktop 7.8 and 7.9 Current Releases. Citrix Provisioning Services 7.7 added Windows 10 support as well. The 7.9 desktop OS VDAS has new features such as GPU acceleration for DirectX window applications and HDX 3D Pro Support for Windows 10. These changes, along with the very positive customer feedback on the 7.9 VDA for Windows 10 has convinced us that the 7.9 desktop OS VDA and provisioning Services 7.9 with Windows 10 support add to the list of 7.6 LTSR Compatible components so that you have made the best both worlds - use Windows 10 VDA with your LTSR site and all the benefits of LTSR.

What officially 7.6 Moving to the supported list components LTSR Notable exclusion list is now new

Windows 10 VDA is shown below. The recommended minimum VDA version for Windows 10 7.9 7.6 LTSR site to ensure further be compatible. Although Provisioning Services is used in the LTSR site for deployment of Windows 10 virtual desktops, we also recommend Provisioning Services version 7.9 to a minimum. The rest of the site needs to be compliant with the rules of LTSR as defined in XenApp and XenDesktop 7.6 LTSR Base release documentation.

policy support

of 7.9 VDA and provisioning will take full advantage of LTSR as the extended lifecycle of 7.6 LTSR not receive release and regular cadence of cumulative updates. The lifecycle of 7.9 is the lifecycle policy from 7.x Current Version and the code level maintenance follow current release branch be. The End of Life date for 7.x Current version is 30 ^th in June 2018. This policy is similar to other compatible components. So with respect to the fixed supply, the updates for the 7.9 VDA and PVS will be provided with a current topic available. This is also 10 VDA application for Windows. The corrections for the rest LTSR compliant components will be available by LTSR cumulative updates.

Finally, let us note that a new Citrix LTSR version adding full aims LTSR announce advantages for the Windows 10 platform in 2017th However, this current announcement is making it easier for you now to jump on Windows 10 desktop virtualization, while all the advantages of maintaining his LTSR still compliant. We will update our LTSR documentation to reflect the above changes. We hope this makes it easier for Windows 10 in your LTSR environments to take over.

Citrix loves container. We have been in recent weeks on the road, share our latest additions to the NetScaler family - NetScaler NetScaler CPX and MAS. While DockerCon Seattle we were to meet in awe of the growth of the ecosystem Docker and enjoyed with the developers.

This week we are showing at Stack World San Francisco how NetScaler CPX (NetScaler in a container) works with Docker. Stop Citrix booth # 104 for demos of NetScaler NetScaler and CPX MAS and not miss Mikko Disini lecture on "Load Balancing cluster for Container Manager" on the tech scene.

Why is NetScaler CPX the best compensation Docker load in the city?

1. The only compensation Docker load with full Layer 4 to 7 functions of content to SSL / TLS switching Offload and DDoS protection
2. It dynamically adapts to changes in micro services infrastructure
3. Supports flexible deployment modes with the recently announced NetScaler management and analytics system (NetScaler MAS) provides unique management, orchestration, networking and security requirements

NetScaler CPX combined meet visibility and analysis system. Together NetScaler CPX and MAS form a micro services proxy, management and analysis solution that developers Load Balancing configs can test in a laptop and provide Docker Loadbalancer extensively with the automatic configuration and reconfiguration because of changes and updates to the micro services infrastructure.

So far, applications have been used as a whole in a complex and months long process of development, testing and roll out that the IT resources thoroughly consumed. The micro services architecture enables an agile application delivery method in which individual components are used, the functions of an application may be used to add, without affecting the rest of the processes of the application.

The benefits of NetScaler NetScaler CPX and MAS for L4-L7 network services

bring a micro services application to life requires many components. Together NetScaler NetScaler CPX and MAS to provide a solution that the cobbling and sewing discovery and container management software with open source tools together avoids service. This solution enables automatic configuration of Docker Loadbalancer and display of telemetry and immediate feedback with respect to the health and performance of containerized applications.

NetScaler NetScaler CPX and MAS can provide companies a large scale micro services applications and pass over their services that have been built on three levels layered applications or older client service containerized and micro applications services in applications.

runs through the inside a container, NetScaler CPX can be run on any Linux host, facilitates their use in a public, private or hybrid cloud, so that the enterprise cloud achieve economies of scale.

IT and network operations teams can provides a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) for their internal app developers and production applications, use the use the same rich L4-L7 that they of all NetScaler platforms expected.

NetScaler CPX demos at Stack World

The Citrix NetScaler team will receive the following demonstrations of NetScaler CPX together with NetScaler management and analytics system (NetScaler MAS) are:

(1) The client-side CPX with mesos and Marathon and NetScaler MAS
(2) CPX routed mode with overlay networking with MAS, mesos and Marathon
(3) CPX with Kubernetes and MAS
(4) VPX as Ingress unit Kubernetes cluster

Tech Field Day Citrix NetScaler CPX Introduction and Overview

For years our customers have told us that they understand the benefits of VDI and secure application and data delivery, but they need us to deploy and manage to make as easy as possible. That is why we have introduced the Citrix Cloud and its services. reduce complexity, and make it as easy as possible to implement Citrix technologies

The XenApp and XenDesktop service is a good example. It is a Citrix cloud offering, where we host the infrastructure components. If the XenApp and XenDesktop service implementation, we wanted to develop a cost-effective way to manage Delivery Controller for our customers. Delivery Controllers are an important part of any page, and we wanted consistency across all delivery controller instances to ensure running in Citrix Cloud. To do this, we keep all virtual machines hosting the Delivery Controller requires up to date with the latest security patches.

We knew that as more and more cloud-hosted XenApp and XenDesktop sites were spun, we had a way to prevent configuration drift. To the latest features for our customers, we bring also scheduled to update every 14 days to a newer version, and requires an easy way to push these updates. After all, we knew that we must have a robust disaster recovery solution.

Single Controller

to help all of these requirements, we establish the concept of a frame controller established. The core concept behind single-screen controller is that we will maintain a single base image for all our Delivery Controller. These base images are generated triggered as part of the product creation process of each code change. Once we near the beginning of our next release cycle, we have our QA team carry out a test, close to the next version. Once all tests are passed, we begin a gradual introduction of the new build for all customers.

We designed our operations so that each upgrade a new VM to rotate and connect to a database (which we regularly backup). Each machine failure or damage to the hard drive can be easily recovered by deploying a new Delivery Controller and it connects to the database - no different than any regular updating. This approach also prevents configuration drift (through reliance on durable VMs is avoided) and automatically wins the latest Windows security patches as part of regular upgrades.

baking frame controller and Deployment

As mentioned above, the goal is to have a completely generic base image. However, we have the ability to inject all tenant-specific data on the first boot time. While the base image jaws, we carry out the following tasks:

• Update latest Windows patches and dependencies
• Install to install the latest code XenDesktop product
• monitoring tools [configuring
• static VM

deploy to a controller from the base image, we have the following post-deployment operations to perform:

• customer configuration in injecting VM
• Connect to a dedicated database server
• create the VM XenDesktop website

, the goal is the amount of processing during the base image preparation as done to maximize this is a one time cost as with any tenant deployment / upgrade paid to a cost comparison. Moreover, by putting more in the base image, we get the test coverage and quality assurance. Our QA team can fully validate the base image before use in production. In this way, engineers can test to focus on important Runtime functionalities rather than on installing and static VM configuration.

Upgrade controller

We begin with a controller to version 1 with a matching XenDesktop database schema for version 1. This is a fully functional XenDesktop website is to be updated, ready.

We bring a new VM on a cluster, the publication on the next XenDesktop is code base. This cluster is based on the current frame image controller base.

It is important to note that the use of additional VMs simplifies the ability to take back a faulty upgrade. This approach is particularly profitable when. In a public cloud, where the cost of a few extra VMs less hosting is a lot for a short time compared to the purchase of additional hardware in a local data center

Before adding the new Controller cluster on the website, we take a backup of the database. This fuse provides us the opportunity to experience the initiate state back in case of problems during the upgrade.

We register the new controller cluster on the website. These controllers are expected to be backwards compatible with the previous database schema version.

Although the new controller is part of the site are, there is no DNS record to direct (CNAME) traffic on the new controller.

The database schema corresponds still the previous version. Prior to update the schema, we must quiescence to solve all controllers to ensure.

At this point, we have to update the database schema to the newer version.

After the database schema has been updated, we can restore the connection strings for all services on both the new and old controllers.

we also provide health checks on the site are available to ensure that the database upgrade was successful.

to show after a successful health check, we change our CNAME in DNS the new controller. This all VDAS will cause seamlessly to refer to the new controller, without a reconfiguration is required. We can then remove the previous controller from the website and delete the database backup.

At this point we have a successful upgrade performed, the user was seamless to the end.

treating disorders

in case of failure (at any point in the process described above), we can easily restore the upgrade rollback the database backup and remove the new controller.

If you are more interested in learning, there was a deep dive session of Citrix Synergy 2016 beginning of this year. For those interested in a study, please visit https://onboarding.cloud.com.

at Citrix Synergy 2016, Citrix plans as sure the Microsoft company, cloud deepen and embrace mobility platforms, expansion and our long-standing partnership.

in the context of this strategy on the provision of support for Microsoft Azure Resource Manager (ARM) is now in the XenApp and XenDesktop service on Citrix Cloud available. Now you can provision, de-provision, and performance manage XenApp and XenDesktop VDAS on Microsoft Azure right of the Citrix Studio console. All you need to bring to the table, is your Azure subscription and a Golden Master VDA image - we will manage the rest for you

Today, I will give you a brief introduction to ARM and some go. Key distinctions that you need to be between Azure and Classic ARM aware if the provision on ARM to Citrix Studio.

What is ARM?

Back in 08, Microsoft's vision for Azure turned Platform Services (PaaS) specifically to create developer primarily stateless .NET applications that could scale easily and automatically down. But the amazing growth of pure play IaaS Microsoft has been forced to rethink their cloud strategy because Azure PaaS VMs were deeply rooted in the foundation of cloud services, making it difficult and for them, to the underlying computing, storage network provider for innovation. In combination with the competitive pressures of Amazon and Google, Microsoft has been forced to go back the drawing board.

The result of this exercise was an IaaS platform designed thoughtfully for the future called Azure Resource Manager . or ARM for short

Here are some key features of ARM are:

1. Logical grouping of an associated set of resources (compute, network and storage) as a unit, the is called a resource group. This will contain a convenient contextual limit for use, cancellation and settlement of resources in it.
2. All on Azure Resource Manager resources must first be authenticated with Azure Active Directory (AAD) of the tasks that you do.
3. The ability to use templates declarative JSON to describe the resource with the provision and dependencies between them. In fact, behind the XenApp Programmes in Azure marketplace an extensible ARM template. ARM templates are also compatible with Azure Stack .
4. Just like you can mark your credit card transactions, ARM allows you to use tags to easily organize resources. This makes it ideal for multi-department billing.

ARM support in Desktop Studio

There are a few important areas that you need to be aware of when the provision on ARM from Studio.

host connection type

soon you get a new host connection type from the drop-down list called Microsoft Azure see notice -. this arm is

Azure AD-based authentication

As discussed above, ARM Azure AD used for authentication. Each Azure subscription is connected to a single Azure AD tenant that governs authentication to resources within this subscription. You need a user account within that to define tenants and assign Service Administrator role for this user for the subscription. They are now considered to be prompted for authentication for the administrator to Azure AD, and once successfully authenticated, you will be offer requested a one-time permission to create a service principal whose identity XenDesktop is then actions use as VDAS perform provisioning on your name.
