Reveal "v2" solution Citrix and Microsoft for Skype for Business -

A highlight of today's technical keynote at our Citrix Summit partner conference in Las Vegas was the unveiling by Brad Anderson, Microsoft corporate vice president, and our own Bill Burley, Citrix Corporate Vice President and Acting GM, from a year-long cooperation between our companies, culminating now in version 2.0 of the XenApp / XenDesktop HDX realTime Optimization Pack for Microsoft Skype® for Business.

Citrix Summit 2016

BradA tweet re HDX RTOP

from field experience with two "v1" solutions for the optimized delivery of Skype for Business (formerly Lync) virtualized in a learning work environment, Microsoft and Citrix came together in January 2015 to brainstorm on how to better meet the needs of our joint customers and focused quickly on the following common objectives:

  • Comprehensive functionality , including Audio-video and telephony functions when the Skype for Business client on Citrix XenApp or XenDesktop
  • Fully native User Experience Skype for Business logo
  • [1945002gehostetwird] Uncompromising quality voice and video
  • Maximum XenApp / XenDesktop server scalability
  • support for a wide range of devices and OS
  • Common history of two providers on roadmap and support

the basic architectural concept of "optimized" delivery, namely the media processing on the user device offloading, when was always possible by the first two generation proven solutions but each of these solutions had strengths and weaknesses. Could our architects a "v2" architecture come that would bring together the best of both previous solutions, while eliminating their shortcomings?

Optimized and Generic Delivery

(and update) Reminder the key points of my July 2012 post on Softphone supply and the White Paper "Unified Communications with XenApp and XenDesktop: Solution Overview" , Citrix supports two to provide complementary approaches for UC applications, "optimized" and "generic" as we do for video playback / streaming multimedia.

is the goal of optimized delivery to XenApp off-load / XenDesktop server, whenever possible, especially for video processing, as is CPU intensive. General HDX RealTime technologies (see CTX133024 and CTX132764) a fallback when client-side media processing is not possible. If you expect a high volume of video call, update I strongly recommend to choose a UC solution that is optimized for workstation virtualization.

If you imagine the layers of software that make a typical softphone or UC app, you can think of optimized delivery as the media engine to take film from the bottom of the app and move it to the user device ,

If you do that, the communication between the processes that would have happened between the media engine, and the software layer takes up now via a virtual ICA channel. But only command and control information has to go through this virtual channel; Media traffic is out-of-band, usually over UDP / RTP.

In the case of a two-party call to the media traffic can flow ( "Peer-to-Peer") between participants directly, and in the case of a multi-party conference call it flows between the individual user and the conference bridge (MCU) ,

as this approach avoids "hairpinning" (also known as "Tromboning") through the XenApp / XenDesktop Server maximizes it the scalability of the server (hold down IT costs), no latency in the audio-video adds path, and eliminates redundant bandwidth consumption. Transcoding and repacketization often be avoided, even though the conference bridge UC provider may need to perform these functions to normalize the media streams if the endpoints use the audio / video parameters (codec, frame rate, resolution, companding algorithm, etc.)

HDX RealTime complementary approaches

an optimized solution development requires the softphone / UC App restructuring or seller's APIs use while generics HDX realTime technology works with almost any softphone / UC App. Optimized delivery solutions for business / Lync, Cisco Jabber, Vidyo and Avaya one-X and other softphone / UC app integration is available for Microsoft Skype in work. For non-optimized applications such as GoToMeeting, Google Hangout or CounterPath Bria, we recommend either the generic HDX RealTime technologies or Windows Device User, Local App Access (Platinum Edition), a local execution Windows application in the mixed enables users the virtual desktop.

Various generic HDX RealTime technologies help a good user experience to keep if there is no media engine on the endpoint available. These include:

  • Optimized for voice codec technology, encode with fast and low bandwidth utilization
  • Adaptive H.264 video in ThinWire display (adjust video quality and frame rate even with the network) remoting
  • webcam video compression in the Citrix receiver for Windows, Linux and Mac, offering excellent efficiency of bandwidth and network latency tolerance
  • jitter buffering in the Citrix receiver for Windows to ensure even smooth audio when network latency variable and echo cancellation when HDX headset
  • (can middle session connected devices), a microphone and speaker
  • audio device plug-n-play with
  • audio device routing (eg ringtone can be addressed to speakers, but the voice to a headset)
  • Multi-stream ICA transport for full QoS support (up to 4 TCP channels and 2 UDP channels)
  • UDP / RTP audio for superior performance on lossy and congested network connections
  • DSCP packet marking for RTP packets (layer 3) and WMM tagging for Wi-Fi

Check the Citrix receiver feature matrix for details, but the short summary that generic support for real-time audio and webcam video is , the currently available for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and ChromeOS, and Dell support Generic HDX realTime for Wyse Thin OS (. WTOS)

NetScaler can also play an important role in audio video streams delivered through ICA, with features such as:

  • NetScaler NetScaler Cloud Bridge support for QoS and Multi-stream ICA including UDP and optional packet duplication for superior audio video quality
  • NetScaler gateway support for UDP / RTP and DTLS

So now that you understand that basics, let us focus on business on Skype.

from the first generation solutions optimized learning

Until the recent release of HDX RealTime Optimization Pack 2.0, Citrix supports two alternative solutions optimized for the provision of Skype, for business or its predecessor, Lync XenApp / XenDesktop. Why were two solutions are needed (for now)? Each solution had different strengths and weaknesses.

Microsoft VDI plug-in solution to the Skype for Business / Lync client as a plug-in to the Citrix Receiver for Windows packages. The Microsoft VDI plug-in has the advantage that a native UI experience for the user had.

But it was only qualified for XenDesktop VDI (although successfully tested by Citrix XenApp) and it supports only Windows devices (with some exceptions, in particular of Windows Thin PC). It could only be used with a full virtual desktop (no support for any app delivery of the Skype for Business / Lync client). It required a local Skype for Business Server or Lync Server infrastructure (no support for Office 365, that is Skype for Business Online).

was

and smart card support is not available. (Additional restrictions are published on TechNet.) Citrix continues to support Microsoft VDI plug-in solution after its lifecycle. For more information, see CTX138408. was

The Citrix HDX RealTime Optimization Pack needs customers with Mac and Linux devices to support next Windows. It has both XenApp and XenDesktop fully supported. And it was compatible with both full virtual desktops and published app delivery. It also has broader infrastructure compatibility offered (Skype for Business Server 2015, Office 365, Lync Server 2013 and Lync Server 2010) as the Microsoft VDI plug-in.

But the key is the first generation HDX RealTime Optimization Pack disadvantage that it was necessary to have some UI differences compared to the native Lync client UI because of limitations of Microsoft APIs (especially the Lync API) to introduce, which were at the time available.

Although these UI changes were well designed and not hard to get used to each draws an unmodified, native UI experience. And the UI differences include multiple constraints, in particular support for call delegation, answer / Team call groups and voice mail integration. Citrix uses Version 1.8 of the HDX RealTime Optimization Pack support to meet primarily the needs of customers are still using Lync Server of 2010.

Both solutions (though Mainstream Support End in April, according to published lifecycle achieved) requires authentication by two components, the virtualized Skype for Business client in the data center and the receiver plug-in on the user device. This led to occasional issues where a user will be asked, would have to enter their credentials again.

The challenge before the joint team was to bring architecture into a new and improved "v2" while eliminating the best of both solutions together their weaknesses. This new architecture came together in the first quarter of 2015 and was then examined under NDA and validated with several large mutual customers.

The "v2" solution

The "v2" architecture now available leverage Citrix field hardened multi-OS HDX RealTime Media Engine as Receiver plug-in.

This component is currently available for Windows, Mac and Linux x86 devices, with equivalent functionality. (This week Dell announced support for version 1.8 of the HDX RealTime Media Engine on Wyse Thin OS, with support for RTME 2.0 on the horizon.) The RTME provides a functional equivalent to the Skype for Business media stack, the support of all the calling / conferencing scenarios as audio and video calling, hold, transfer, call forking and redirection and active speakers conferences. It supports up to receive 720p30 transmit and resolutions. And it is of course compatible with the Skype for Business protocols for networking, media encryption (SRTP / AES), firewall traversal (STUN / TURN / ICE) and bandwidth management.

But the media HDX engine no longer has to deal with authentication or SIP signaling; these functions are now exclusively from the Skype for Business client. The Skype client authenticates to the back-end infrastructure via SIP, the context of the user's authentication with the Windows operating system on XenApp / XenDesktop, enabling single sign-on. These simplifications improve robustness and user experience (eg initialization is faster and there is never a need to re-prompt the user credentials).

The RTME is a self-contained package with a much smaller footprint than the VDI plug-in; it consumes about 0 MB of disk space on the user device.

HDX RealTime Optimization Pack 2.0 provides a truly native Skype for Business UI experience. And it adds numerous features to what in previously available was version 1.8, such as:

  • reputation delegation RTME v2 install screen
  • Response Group and team call groups
  • voicemail integration
  • Automatic Join Audio meeting
  • Emoticons
  • Web proxy support
  • support for Click-to-Run
  • status icons (connection Connected etc.)
  • Active speaker identification

all this is possible thanks to a much improved API added to the Skype for Business 2015 client in the product update December (client 15.0.4779.1001 version), for use in the native UI mode. , These significant improvements have been introduced, the quiet of Microsoft, while our cooperation on HDX RealTime Optimization Pack 2.0 was still under NDA

The resulting architecture looks like this:

RTOP v2 architecture

(This simplified diagram does not show the Microsoft Edge Server uses to support remote access.)

If there is no HDX media engine on the user device, the realTime Optimization Pack supports optional fallback to server-side media processing ( Generic HDX realTime). Fallback can be disabled if it is preferred to deny audio-video service for users media engine without HDX rather than impose additional CPU load on XenApp / XenDesktop server.

No need to update the latest server version

There are many good reasons to the latest XenApp / XenDesktop 7.7 Release or Skype to consider an upgrade to Business Server 2015, but this feature not need to do that. HDX RealTime Optimization Pack 2.0 is compatible with XenApp 6.x / 7.x and XenDesktop 7.x and with Lync Server 2013 (and Skype for Business Server 2015 and Skype for Business Online).

And no additional software to be installed on the Skype for business or Lync Server. This solution works with existing infrastructure (at least Lync Server 2013 February 2015 cumulative update).

Receiver and RTME compatibility

receiver icon The HDX RealTime Media Engine is a plug-in for the following Citrix Receiver versions:

  • Windows Receiver 4 .x (32-bit)
  • Linux Receivers 13.x (32-bit, x86 only)
  • Mac receiver 12.x (32-bit)

on a 64-bit Linux operating system is the latest solution to use the 32-bit Linux receiver.

to make life easier BYOD and at-home workers, we have a bundled package of Windows Receiver 4.4 and HDX RealTime Media Engine 2.0 created - Single download, install single -. available soon

You can read more news about the HDX RealTime Media expected engine during 2016.

device compatibility

Between the Citrix Ready program and Microsoft's Skype for Business Certification Program, we have a broad ecosystem of partners, including suppliers of thin clients, USB audio setup was cell phones and webcams. Many of these partners have been given early access to HDX RealTime Optimization Pack 2.0 and will soon be their products on the Citrix Ready Marktplatz his posting. We recommend HDX Premium thin clients for use with Skype for Business Desktop Video.

Stay for many exciting device Innovation in 2016.

Building on the #CitrixPartnerLove! Citrix Summit 2016 -

After January 2016, I can say with certainty that there is no better introduction to the Citrix family as attending Citrix Summit.

The more than 2,000 partners and 100 employees from 70 countries that joined us in Las Vegas, THANK YOU. The warm welcome I received when exceeded by far what I could have imagined. The Citrix culture lives up to its billing, and then some

partners truly the heart of everything we do at Citrix -. And we are in the cultivation #CitrixPartnerLove wholeheartedly invested

The theme of the Summit 2016 "Build" and build we . connections, learning and experiences that we have together built excite me and excited about the coming year.

together win

I have found that a great way to build a good relationship is to win together. for this purpose on our sales priorities for the coming year is a renewed focus on to make successful our partners. We doubled by reallocation on our core competencies in 2016 on innovation and simplification down and allows thoughts in the critical area groundbreaking where we operate, we make it easier for our partners to win to make us.

Against this background, I would like to with three desired results for our partners, my thoughts of the Summit keynote stage echo

  • growth -. There is a $ 100000000 opportunity for our partners in app delivery, mobility, networking and data. $ 4000000000 it is in the middle of the market and enterprise space. To help you better reach this market, we have new mid-market success kits. These kits focus on horizontal applications, including lower TCO, secure remote access and Windows 10 migration and healthcare vertical applications-where nearly a quarter of all middle market opportunity lies. be Look for other applications in financial services and other major industries rolled out during the year
  • return -. We are service kits success with our partners design services possibility in mind. To increase this chance, we will reduce the amount of Citrix-led services in the middle of the market, to ensure that our partners are able to offer these services to their clients.

We also understand that incentives are important baselines of our partners and us to win in the middle of the market, especially help. So we open CAR for all customer segments. We are also Net New Partner Sourced be introduced in the coming months, the reward partners continue to invest in the middle of the market and in new ways. Stay tuned

  • Foreseeable Engagement - It is important that our partners have a predictable and repeatable form of engagement with us. So we simplify processes for our partners, including CAR. SLAs can be shortened and sales coaching now part of our incentive programs will be.

A new PAM (Partner Account Manager) role was created to support companies planning to provide sales coaching available and to help our partners to establish a direct connection with the right people and resources within Citrix , Each PAMs first priority is to help our partners, tell them where incentives sit and talk about how to capitalize on its pipeline of opportunities.

We are very proud of the fact that 68% of products, sales co-selling with partners in the past year. We fully understand that our partners are the key to our success, past, present and future. We believe in a joint go-to-market approach, and we see great opportunity to build big profits together in the middle of the market.

Thanks for the warm welcome. It is wonderful to be part of such a large family.

Bring your customers at Citrix Synergy 2016 in Las Vegas May 24 to 26 for a great opportunity to further build relationships (and champion new deals). Me

I look forward to a very successful 2016 with you

Innovation & Partnership: Our competitive advantage and why #EveryoneUsesCitrix -

There are incredible momentum behind Skype There has been started with the installed base of Lync, the millions over 100 Has. Users and 79 percent of US companies currently implement it with or planning for telephony.

with the ubiquity of Skype, combine the company presence of Lync, which provides every month a third of 50000000000 worldwide minutes of traffic Highway (Zig Serafin blog) and , it is clearly seen that the ability a great Skype experience from your virtual app or desktop is a must-have. to provide

, if you have the following were to all blogs Derek Thorslund, then you saw the steady course of our partnership with Microsoft to optimize Skype for Business, when used as a virtual application delivered or as part of a virtual desktop. You can all innovations that read architectural achievements and has here

The collaboration resulted in a solution that collected this comment from Brad Anderson, Corporate VP of Microsoft .:

Citrix Skype for Business VDI

is all well and good, but what does it mean, and what is the actual experience? More importantly, as there is a "normal" Skype deployment, compare and how it compared to the competition? Well, we put together a little video to show you how and why it works.

credit goes to Dan Feller for all the different environments to set up and prepare the video. I would also like to thank him for awesome on a high motion video of a rocket launch, the orientation of the camera, instead of an awkward with "fake Skype call." :)

One thing everyone should take away from this brief demonstration is this: we set a very high bar for us at Citrix, when it comes to this area to innovation

First, our goal is always to be for the experience "as well. as a local PC, , unless better." as you can see in the video, who we performed Skype runs on a local PC, but with all achieved the benefits of security, centralized management and various devices support that you expect from Citrix. Competition can experience do not match, regardless of the device . I think that's why #EveryoneUsesCitrix.

Secondly, we are always striving for the best user experience at the lowest total cost, as we achieved with Thin Wire.

This is an extremely important part of our differentiation, and something that our competitors try to hide because their protocols to chew network and server resources in the rule. adds our approach has no overhead to the native traffic Skype, and save money on server resources by offloading. the multimedia work on the client

it all out power: Skype is the fastest growing unified communications solution in the industry. Everyone wants to Unified Communications. If the virtual application or desktop delivery solution can not handle Skype and Citrix, why should you even consider it?

This is just another proof point in an ever growing list-that is our pace of innovation with Citrix in an all time high, and we can not wait any longer as we roll in 2016 to order to share.

Do not look now ... But your Skype show

Do not look now ... But your Skype show -

Skype for Business will have seen on a train, grow a few solutions to bring before and thus massive gains in efficiency and productivity.

But these profits, as you read in Part 1 of this blog series, bringing with them new concerns for the security and privacy.

Now there are several ways you can increase security with Skype for business approach. The "Tools - Options" has a subset of about 15 categories, each with options that can be enabled or disabled, the security level in Skype, changing

You could even try to adjust group policy settings for Skype. disable features such as file transfer, chat logs, or the session recording function. But that is not always practical and would lead to the very characteristics in the distance, are making Skype, so good. It would be like taking the tires and radio from the car, and depending on the industry, it might be illegal, or even out of compliance when the auditors come to ring.

For example, in the financial services industry, if you discuss any kind of commercial or warehouse by iM, these talks must be within the scope of an audit available.

sure your VoIP calls are encrypted by default, as you authenticate through Active Directory to "Hacker" tap prevent your conversations. But that is only effective in real-time conversation and does not help with the thumbprints that get left behind. Do not forget, all chat logs, files and records are stored on the endpoint by default.

I can not only use GPO settings?

There are several challenges with trying to "lock" in this way to Skype. First, would this GPO settings apply only to Windows-based systems that you manage. Secondly, if you break the basic rule (as many organizations do, especially in a world BYO) and allow the user to be a local administrator of their own system, these policy settings can be easily reversed.

I suppose you could write a macro to delete all chat logs and files from the default folder "Downloads", which leads to close (remember when we called directories?) But that is not really an effective "security" solution. It's security through obscurity.

You can change the default locations to store for file and configure the recording to be on a network share. This would ensure that all sensitive information shared between Skype users in a secure, remote location that only your company's IT controls is maintained. This is an excellent step in the right direction! Now, no matter where or what device your employees use Skype, the data is always protected in the corporate vault.

distance, the data grow fonder?

The challenge, of course in the user experience. If I have a local Skype for Business Client and my files used, records and logs are always a few hundred miles is sent to my share, then my experience will be degraded, and I will most likely ditch. And if the link is a high-latency network connection, for example via a free hotspot in a cafe on Nantucket-my experience is even worse. So I can have the security of having a poor performance, as I sit and wait, to copy my file more than 800 miles to use a hacked WiFi. #FAIL

If that were the case, we would find ourselves back where we started. I bypass my corporate IT controls for a better experience. And with the explosion of BYOD, I am installing probably Skype for Business on my own iPad Pro, surface, laptop, Chromebook and more. These are devices that my corporate IT does not necessarily control over and it does not apply a GPO that guides my Skype data in the first place.

So what is to do an IT administrator?

the most effective way to ensure that Skype is data safe, Skype is to host for companies in the data center under lock and key where no one can access it. Skype over XenApp to virtualize and ensure XenDesktop, you can that Skype and its sensitive data is kept together for better performance and remain the endpoint devices that will be easily lost or stolen. How peanut butter and jelly or coffee and Stroopwafels, getting better together.

Well, I hear what you say back. The question on your mind,

Ok, that sounds good, for text and instant messaging. But when I put my Skype hosted for companies to XenApp in my data center 800 miles away, and I want to do voice and video calls, as in your earlier example, well, how does it work?

, it is a great question, and I'm so glad you asked. What do you refer to the "Tromboning effect" called and it can make your Skype for Business Security Strategy quickly kill introduce through inefficient routes and network stuttering.

So how do we avoid network stuttering? Stay tuned ...

Monitoring solutions from Citrix Ready provider

Monitoring solutions from Citrix Ready provider -

Monitoring is an often overlooked aspect of a virtual delivery infrastructure. Much of the effort spent planning and implementing an environment based on business requirements of functionality, performance and availability - and rightly so

But what is the things throughout the life of the insert to follow.? Here are some of the key questions that should always remain on the top:

  • Let the best use of our IT resources
  • [1945006?] what is the typical power look for an average user?
  • If the environment availability and health at an acceptable level?
  • The systems are for business purposes?

luckily help us in monitoring efforts is used properly, we have the Web-based Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop in Director.

This console provides administrators and help desk staff for the most important monitoring functions for tracking sessions, users, reporting, alerting and more. Mudit Mehrotra, product manager of the director , recently wrote a blog post about the latest improvements Director. However

Some customers require additional monitoring functions for their infrastructure, which director and other tools included with XenApp and XenDesktop provide. In these cases we recommend to customers the benefits of our monitoring applications of our Citrix Ready partners.

These solutions, provided by leading suppliers to take advantage of further improving traditional monitoring, which is natively available in the operating system for Microsoft RDS extends through methods such as SCOM, data collection agents, depth coverage etc. and these monitoring solutions are certified with the Citrix Ready program, which means that they tested and validated the Citrix Ready verification kits.

Citrix customers can be assured these monitoring solutions in their XenApp and XenDesktop environments, without worrying about the compatibility, interoperability and quality. implement
