Cisco Hyperflex with Citrix XenDesktop: Next Generation HyperConvergence for VDI -

Hello, there! Today we are fortunate to have a guest post by Mallik Mahalingham, founder and CTO, Springpath. He will talk about Springpath HCI platform, Cisco and all things Citrix Synergy. Thank Mallik! - JL

Hello! As first guest blogger on Citrix, I would like to introduce myself. I am one of the founders of Springpath, the next generation Hyperconvergence software company.

Springpath the hyperconverged Data Platform is called the powers of Cisco recently launched Hyperconvergence solution Hyperflex. You can read more about it here. We are very pleased to be working with Cisco to help their customers adopt and implement hyperconvergence in their data centers.

Hyperconvergence's all over deliver storage enterprise class services on the same servers that run as host and applications, VMs or virtual desktops. The confluence of technologies such as multi-core CPUs, high-density memory, high-speed networking, low-cost SSDs, reliable distributed systems software techniques and modern file system implementations in recent years has server a dedicated and reliable platform for storage services provides. It replaces the need for conventional storage systems such as dedicated NAS or SAN arrays. In addition, the simplicity of hyperconvergence has made it easy enough for anyone with a basic knowledge of servers and hypervisor storage services to deliver.

Back in 2012, when Springpath was founded, we saw in the early versions of hyperconverged get products to market and decided we should build a software platform from scratch, flexible, efficient, easy and future proof to support such innovations are containers. You can read about our vision more here.

Cisco was looking for an innovative hyperconvergence software provider for its market leading UCS servers. Cisco took Springpath and launched March 2016 Cisco broke ground Hyperconvergence platform as a separate family of devices called Hyper Flex. We were blown away by the reception that Hyperflex received in the market, and look forward to making the market leading hyperconverged solution.

Cisco has a great partnership with Citrix, which goes back many years. The combination of Citrix leadership in end-user computing market and management of Cisco in the data center has created the perfect partnership to accelerate the provision of hyperconverged infrastructure for desktop and application virtualisation.

Cisco Hyperflex the following significant advantages.

1. Start small and grow on demand is a perfect platform for Citrix XenDesktop and XenApp provides you how to add more users. Optimized for VDI projects that begin as pilots and grow rapidly in the thousands of users.
2. scale rake only nodes independent of memory heavy knot. The majority of VDI deployments are raking or memory barrier. Hyper Flex offers the possibility slices fewer servers or Blades add to scale virtual desktops without having to spend on storage, and all under the same management domain.
3. Leverage fast, space-saving native cloning VM to quickly provision hundreds of desktops quickly.
4. impairing handle power requirements of boot storms, login storms and virus scans without user experience. Read Hyperflex patent pending and write caching algorithms helps IO storms in SSDs record.
5. Lower the cost of storage with always-on data de-duplication and compression and help save more desktops per TB of storage than other solutions, without having to worry about impact on performance.

I can enumerate many other advantages, but I'll stop here. Recently we have with LoginVSI were with Cisco and Citrix Hyperflex Xendektop significant amount of performance and scale testing it with 7.8 PVS and I'm thrilled, here are some early results, to share it.

we used the setup for the test as follows:

Hardware

• 8 knots HX220c (RCD) Cisco HyperFlex Cluster
• Nexus 000 switches

desktop software image Profile

• standard Windows 7SP1 32 bit
  • Citrix receiver version number 14.4.0.8014

software versions (Citrix, etc..)

• HX cluster running 1.7.1 GA
• ESX / vCenter 6.0 U1b
• Citrix XenDesktop 7.8 with PVS
• Sign VSI1.5.115
  • knowledge workers test profile

results the test:

[1945019[

Figure 1 above shows the IOPS, throughput and latency of Hyperflex remained extremely predictable, as the number of active sessions to 1000. the average increase 0 MBps throughput and ~ 2msec average latency is easy to support the setup in the central 1000 desktops with a knowledge worker profile.

Figure 2 shows the top LoginVSI benchmarking tool VSIMax was not achieved by 1000 knowledge worker desktops. It also shows there enough room (VSImax Average vs VSImax threshold) is a reaction time position. We are more results from the test in Cisco Validated Design (CVD) to share documents, but this gives an insight into how Cisco Hyperflex can support the most demanding Citrix XenDesktop VDI environments with superior performance. This combined with the simplicity, ease of use, scalability and reliability makes Cisco Hyperflex the right HyperConvereged infrastructure choice for your desktop and app virtualization initiatives.

Citrix Cloud Secure Browser unveiled Other safety features -

Just two months ago, Citrix Cloud Secure Browser service from Cloud Labs completed a quick and easy way for any IT organization to create - even those who have never used a Citrix product - provide for secure Web and SaaS applications on any modern browser. , And true to its cloud nature, we have since continuous improvements released

In addition to the general notification, speed improvements and refreshed user interface, the other major improvements:

• support internally hosted web applications for
• Add option authentication to externally hosted Web applications
• ability resource location region
• traceability through a Usage meter in the user interface [select
• option browser Apps for additional security watermark
• for HTML5 2.0 on Citrix receiver upgrade
• URL worthy

New for full list page updates can be found on the Citrix cloud What's please.

publishing download internal or authenticated Web Apps

Now you can use the power of NetScaler authentication on a Web site and access to internal offer web applications without requiring the end user a VPN and execute.

Once you have your Secure Browser service connected with a NetScaler Access Gateway, when you publish a new web app, you will be displayed with three options.

1. External: Unauthenticated - this will allow you to to publish a publicly available web app as Salesforce.com with anonymous access. If the site has its own authentication mechanism, the user must still would that to enter
2. Ext :. Authenticated - this allows you to publish a publicly available web app, but the user is greeted with an authentication method such as user name and password before the user would be able to see the web app
3. internally -. This allows you an internally hosted web app such as SAP, Oracle or anything you publish on your host intranet. No anomymous sessions are allowed in this scenario. Select

resource location Region

Citrix Cloud Secure Browser service hosting the virtual browser in Microsoft Azure. And our first customers let us know that as much as she loved them, they wanted will define the virtual browser which region of web app hosted, so that it might be closest to where its users are. At the moment we only support the US West region. But we wanted to implement now, as we will be rolling soon other regions.

Usage Metering

Since the Secure Browser service is a cloud-hosted service, and customers pay for hourly usage we an easy way to see your power consumption wanted to deliver. So we introduced a Usage tab in the user interface. If you want more details about the usage to see, you have the option of providing data as a CSV file to download.

Watermarking

Data loss prevention is difficult. Despite all the software that you can throw at this problem, the user can simply take their phone and snap a picture of whatever data on the screen. Even if we do not do the users that trap, we can provide to pursue a method where the picture was taken.

As you can see in the picture pasted my username is the site and it stays there, even if I. Up or down Well, if you share this, everyone knows that it was me who shared very sensitive data!

Citrix Receiver for HTML5 2.0

Have this little thing in the previous image?

This is our new Citrix Receiver for HTML5 2.0 icon. Its small and gets out of the way of the user for the most part. And if a user needs to access it, it appears as follows.

In addition to the new icon, but provides mobile and touch support even better.

Have we missed something?

The in only 2 months a lot of great features is! But if there is something we have missed, please let us know.

If you are at Citrix Synergy, come to the solutions Demo & SandBox areas feedback to give

directly to me or a colleague. If not, please give us feedback on the forums.

So, go try it today!

How many devices you use in a day?

For me, as far as I'm sitting in seat 17A on my #JetBlue flight I have three separate devices used. When I woke up (as a result of my youngest to contact me in the back), I reached to check for my Android phone Twitter, Facebook and email. Next, I checked into my flight from my traditional laptop and changed on a window seat. Go me! In fact, right now, I'm writing this blog post on my HP 13 "Chromebook. Three tools in less than four hours? That's really a geek feet that can not be beat. ©

Well, I know what you're saying. I have this telepathic ability as Novell Netware teacher my days goes back to feel the question that is on the tip of everyone's lips. And the question is, "Sean, do JetBlue make buy two seats or you can really fit in? " The next question is on top of everyone's mind, " Sean, I thought you were a diehard Microsoft fanboy? "

The answer, of course, in order, are " no " and " Yes. " I, most certainly, a die-hard Microsoft fanboy. In fact, I have only my Windows Phone when my friends who are still working at Microsoft abandoned her. But I must tell you that gives HP Chromebook me a really good, viable user experience. when traveling, I especially like the lightweight design and super fast boot times and 10 hours of battery life is something I'm not used to.

and yes, if last Friday I evening first got my hands on them I have to install my usual not-so-productive applications like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and a few games. But before I have seen on the plane today, I have the Citrix receiver (v2.0) for Chrome from the Play Store. I navigated to the secret Citrix storefront, logged and * BOOM *, I had my familiar Windows 10 desktop, my Word for Windows and my Skype for Business.

:: insert maniacal laugh ::

Why the need for manic laugh? Because no one knows where I work! I could be anywhere (muahahahaha!) Thanks to JetBlue's free FlyFi, I am fully connected and productive from 30,000 feet. I can see my blog post, edit my Office 365 Deployment Guide and also hold Skype conversations with Lynda, Penny and Vicky write. My 18 "widths virtual office hums away with productivity.

And what is the best? Because of financially affordable way my Chromebook (by an Intel processor powered) with 4GB of RAM and an SSD drive, not only I get all the power but I need when the inexperienced travelers in the seat reclines to me their seat back and snapped my screen, I can quickly and easily a new attack from the Best Buy kiosk, add recipients and pick up right where I so abruptly to the left.

and although I leave more than 9 hours of battery life, I'm going to sign now and start Internet Explorer (from a Chromebook! I'm such a rebel!) and register for @HPE_Discover, where I Windows 10, Office 365 and Skype will be demonstrated for companies, from my Chromebook. Register today and show June 7 to 9 at the Venetian in Las Vegas

here is my question of the day for you , Have you ever worked secretly somewhere, and no one knew it ?

Safety begins with access - but it must not stop there -

Security begins with access - but it does not end there ...
Eliminate all Access Pass

outdated IT practices that give default too much access causing security nightmares recurring - and its time to wake up the new reality :. access to the purpose should be specific

Enter what get your credentials at login and you? A All Access Pass . All you have access to about your role, rights and relationships, connect with various applications and data, which are not likely to need for the task at hand. For many of us, so that by default access to anything that might be useful means that we live our lives online in camouflaged excessive access

to protect against unintended use and disclosure, while compliance targets to meet, to respect the privacy and safeguard intellectual property, access to sensitive applications and data must be strictly controlled. Sensitive data is excessively exposed to during transportation, in use and at rest by excessive access - teach and unfortunately damaging injury, this lesson too often. To compound the problem, access is now ensured by the erstwhile logon event in the first place.

to end, To be exact, the access to the sensitivity of the data and the situation needs to be aligned, the data is requested is, and will be used. We call that contextual access . Contextual access policies Check confidence elements in the 5W Access (who, what, when, where and why) to allow only certain use authorizations when necessary confidence objectives are reviewed as end are met -Quit. Contextual access is a continuous process, which extends from the request event through specific data usage permissions and dynamic policies that control the data security lifecycle.

While the promise of context access and mitigate the "All Access Pass" a target has been for many years, it is implementation elusive. All the necessary elements, including multi-factor authentication (MFA), dynamic identity management, endpoint analysis, encryption, information rights management (IRM), application-specific network and data usage policies have been inordinately difficult to construct an end-to and manage -end security solution. Fortunately, we have a modern development of the framework in the areas of virtualization and containerization, which is much closer to the goal us to mitigate excessive access.

Can you do this on your PC?

When a few representative examples of how virtualization and containerization a context access model, you should activate the following functions:

• Need : the organization claims that the ability to data is limited to copy from one application to another. This need is especially critical data exfiltration of SaaS and cloud-based applications as well as home-based users and third party access solution to mitigate. Use virtualization to either copy and paste or Institute prohibit one-way clipboard policy format filtering to allow only certain data is copied copied to or from. Format filtering indicates whether data can be plain text copied and pasted, Rich Text, HTML or bitmaps (to name a few). And the policy can be applied across the board to groups of apps or on individual applications
• Need . The data must be included for use by certain roles within teams and ideally in a project-based enclaves. Enclaving is important to check the ownership, distribution, versioning and workflow through a dynamic data lifecycle that includes BYO users, contractors, international travelers and highly sensitive third party (eg lawyers) solution . Implement containerization protect along with application and data-specific enclaves corporate data on companies, BYO and foreign use. Containers are companies and encrypted, are with strict controls over what data to be copied, the enclaves defined from or between. The data can be wiped dynamic as it has expired, information rights management policies are applied continuously, digital watermarks property can help identify, enable multi-factor authentication and use-specific logging documents access governance.

redefining use access to the principles of contextual access is crucial for advancing security and privacy today -., And the elimination of the "All Access Pass " with the imminent proliferation devices and services connected by the Internet of things, an automated access specific layer defense and the view is even more important to protect access tomorrow. such as virtualization and containerization enclave sensitive applications and data to control access to the complex workflows to help define our online life.
