We do what ?? My story of moving to workAnywhere. -

What happens when you no longer have to sit an allocated space at work to find out?

Briefly? They freak out.

There is a wonderfully warm winter day in Citrix headquarters was in Ft. Lauderdale, and my manager pulled me aside. He said it. Rumblings about a special project, which would require some heavy change management As a change management professional, was always hungry for the next challenge people, I intrigued

What he said something like that was .:

move

to open

Michaels Team seat , everything is not assigned importance. The walls are coming down. No one will have an office. We call it workAnywhere ... and that has never before been done at Citrix.

"Wait," I gasped. "What ?! No one, not even our senior leaders-will have an assigned desk? Just wait. I will not have my own room?"

:: begin hyperventilation and dizziness ::

OK. I breathe again.

I am a practitioner of a discipline change management called , which is going to help initiatives achieve their results, bring by the people who are planning for the trip, so that by the time the organization is ready to have a new idea, innovation, process or system ... the people who are willing to use. By the way, change management professionals changes do not necessarily love, if it happens to us .

This would make a real change challenge.

What made it was dicier that I. Part of the group by the change was concerned, I had a vested interest in ensuring that this went well. I also had the inside scoop on what people felt ... , because it is what I felt.

Once the architectural designs were done, we would have six months to transform mentalities people, while the real estate team transformed the physical space. And we started with a group of shock. We had people almost refuse to make the transition. Most were skeptical, curious to see the consequences, and one or two were (or were pretending to be) thrilled.

Our first all-hands meeting included people ask opt-out and other issues such as who ask below. (BTW - these are the questions you should expect at the beginning, because they for the next reaction is exactly the same):

• What are we doing about germs [1945013?]
• How will I find people?
• How I can not see Manage a team?
• Where I'm quiet room?

for all, a workplace redesign considering I encourage you to include a plan for staff travel as a priority. If you do not see 't, you are already not possible with a risk of your investment. And, we have seen with Citrix: if the sides were ignored people, and the sponsor is not obliged an entire department to the new arrangement rebelled, petitions assigned back seat. The gains of the higher capacity utilization and cooperation were never realized.

Synergy includes workshops in 2016, where we the people challenges of a workplace redesign will deal directly initiative. And I'll be the Halls roaming, like to talk with you about how we dealt with the change management elements of this pioneering transformation at Citrix.

Citrix Service Provider, UDNI, differs from the cloud -

Although they are often lumped together, small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs) are not all equal. United Datacom Networks Inc. (UDNI) by capitalized on these differences give SMBs a choice .

UDNI of Optia ^® cloud services options include hosted applications (XenApp), hosted desktops (XenDesktop) and secure collaboration and file sharing (with Share File).

Most SMBs have limited IT staff and feel more comfortable when they know that we are connected.

Then UDNI takes cloud differentiation one step further , with

1. High Touch Service
2. Strong security
3. His own cloud infrastructure hosting - with NetScaler - for server load balancing and caching

COO Scott Rhodes said: "We have developed our services to the specific needs and preferences of SMBs who ever vary according to size and sector. Larger SMBs want to retain a degree of control, as Apps for new user provisioning. Smaller organizations often relieved are let us handle everything for them. "

He added: "most SMBs have limited iT staff and feel more comfortable when they know that we are standing by online or to make an on-site visit quickly fix a problem why we 24 /. to emphasize 7/365 service and a local presence. "

Automate NetScaler NITRO API and PowerShell -

This is a guest post by Esther Barthel, senior technology consultant at PepperByte

as Citrix consultant, I am privileged to visit various customers and get to see a glimpse of their "kitchens", as they set up their iT departments and processes to manage their end-customer services and iT infrastructure. to use To my surprise, a lot of customers that I can still be seen to rely on the provision of infrastructure components on manual processes, for example, manual instructions of 37 pages or more to roll out new virtual machines in production.

In an age Request in the end user a faster delivery of applications and data, as they have become accustomed to instant delivery of applications from the public app stores, it is difficult to sell to explain that a service request will be processed last several days. Not to mention the safe tolerance that leads each manual deployment that could lead to dissatisfied customers as human error inadvertently attempted service level.

Over a year ago, I was fortunate to help a customer, providing automated processes for IaaS and PaaS infrastructure services. There are many solutions support available IT automation and orchestration, so I do not go into too much detail about the pros and cons of each solution. The lesson I have learned during the tool selection process, was that it takes to get it all over down the right (support) processes, which is like any solution nor a supporting tool.

But what I did was fascinated by the fact that if you break any orchestration and automation solution to its core, it runs on the automation of simple tasks in programmable scripts down and linking these tasks together, to automate your IT processes. And so the first DevOps team was born, and we have focused on the manual actions in process flow definition, which were translated into scripts to automate every step of the process.

My scripting language of choice was PowerShell and although I still feel like a beginner, I have for the various Citrix components script automates installations managed as XenDesktop, storefront and director, to be a lot of fun , turned out to be.

and when I worked to create a NetScaler implementation Command Center using the configuration script, I ran into this great blog post series on the Citrix blog to Automate NetScaler configurations NITRO REST API and PowerShell by Santiago Cardenas. This five-part series even has a downloadable PowerShell module that contains a variety of functions automatically add basic configuration settings to a NetScaler.

I played with the module and very soon I found myself more functions in the module adding not only add new configurations, but will be able to fully manage the NetScaler configuration with add, delete, update and features to read.

Although it is far from a complete PowerShell module, such as the NetScaler has so many configurable features and settings, I am happy to share my work with the community and even more my enthusiasm the automatic installation options Citrix infrastructure components, to be able to expand the NetScaler configuration than by.

so why only a blog post to write about it, if the Citrix Synergy podium that enthusiasm can share? If you are interested in automating your NetScaler deployment and configurations use of NITRO and PowerShell to join my session SYN234: Automate NetScaler with NITRO API and PowerShell on May 26, 14:30 to 15:15 in Bellini2101A at Citrix Synergy.

Consumer focused storage systems are ideal for family photos or personal documents, but are not enterprise-class.

Introduction secure file sync and sharing are to keep business files safe and secure. A mobile workspace can include file sharing, both integrated with virtual desktops and mobile applications to provide a seamless working experience. easy to share content with the right people - suppliers, partners and employees. Plus extra security to IT file sharing control based on the content in the files themselves.
