What is a VPN Used For

During my deep dive into the design cues of the desktop processing accelerator for my last blog post on delivery applications, I noticed that redundancy does not seem to be a priority for some customers. In fact, even for large implementations with 2,000+ users, infrastructure components are not always implemented fault tolerance. Therefore, I will write several blog posts dedicated to redundancy in virtual desktop environments. In this first issue, I will focus on the delivery of desktop layer.

Let's take a look at what the accelerator tells us about the redundancy options chosen by customers.

Chart 1 - Number of desktop delivery controllers (XenDesktop Brokers) by site,% of projects

in 17% of accelerator projects, one controller to deliver a desktop is implemented.

Why is this bad?

If there is a failure of this system, users can not connect or re-connect to any virtual desktop (existing sessions are not affected). One could say that there is a workaround to ensure fault tolerance, even with a single controller, activating the HA-mode virtual desktop agent as described in the following article eDocs. But this has two major drawbacks:

• This only works with dedicated desktops, where the correspondence between the user and the Virtual Desktop Agent is known
• users need to be provided with a custom ICA file, which is used when the controller is down. This procedure is not very intuitive and management of hundreds of files ICA is a maintenance nightmare.

Therefore, the best practice is to implement a minimum of two controllers per site XenDesktop, regardless of the size of the environment.

The second point on this matter, I would argue, is the redundancy of the Microsoft SQL database

Figure 2 -. Tolerance level fault for SQL DB, by% of projects

in 33% of all accelerator projects has no fault tolerance been implemented, and in 15% of projects the fault tolerance is low (VM-level HA)

What is the problem here

in XenDesktop, all information is stored on the database.?; The controllers communicate only with the database and not with each other. A controller may be disconnected or turned off without affecting other controllers in the site. However, this means that the database provides a single point of failure. If the database server fails, existing connections to virtual desktops will continue to operate until the user either disconnects or logs out of their virtual desktop; new connections can not be established if the database server is unavailable.

Therefore, our best practice is to implement clustering either SQL or SQL Mirroring, to ensure automatic failover and continuous service. While HA VM level can be considered a fault tolerant solution, one of its major drawbacks is that it starts when the entire SQL server fails (ie blue screen), but not so "right" SQL service fails. Additionally, the SQL service is until the automatic restart of SQL Server is completed. More information about this subject can be found here eDocs - XenDesktop planning HA ..

The next topic and last, I want to emphasize here is saving the SQL database XenDesktop

Chart 3 - backup SQL database, by% of projects

in 12% of the projects of the accelerator, the SQL database are not saved.

Why is this a problem, and do I save my DB if I use SQL clustering?

As previously DB SQL is an essential part of every XenDesktop infrastructure that must be protected and treated with care. While consolidation or SQL data base mirroring helps keeping the service if one server fails, it does not protect against logical errors. So in order to be able to recover if a fix or SQL script damage the contents of the DB, we need a recent backup. Citrix best practice is to do a full backup every day and keep the backup for six months following the Grandfather-Father-Son principle.

Another positive side effect of saving the DB is that it shrinks to zero transaction logs and prevents SQL server running out of disk space. Further information can be found here :. XenDesktop 5 transaction log database Growing Overly

For more information on high availability / fault tolerance of the delivery office layer, please refer to the following guides:

• high availability for XenDesktop
• How to implement high availability in XenDesktop 5

If you are about to launch a XenDesktop project and you want to speed up your decision making process, create a project in the office processing accelerator and benefit from the input of your peers.

The press, blogs and Twitter have been buzzing about Marissa Mayer and his appointment as CEO of Yahoo. The emphasis seems to be that she is a woman and is expecting a child. While this makes for an interesting discussion, that my spikes my interest is the design leader was selected as CEO.

At Google as employee number 20 Mayer helped the company grow into a giant of the Internet and household name. design sensitivity Mayer was a base portion of its success. Google is well known for its minimalist look and feel; bold colors and fantasy. She is credited with pushing for clean and affordable look. The New York Times wrote: "An engineer at heart, she also had something that many of his peers did not during the early days of Google :. A strong sense of style and design "

It is interesting to see the value and importance that design brings to the leadership. For years, Steve Jobs of Apple was one of the few leaders design. However, today's customers demand experiences, not only the characteristics of the product. design plays a critical role in the success of a company. companies realize that design is not only about aesthetics, but it will create a total customer experience. Enlightened companies now include design as part of the strategy, business model and product development and processes.

at Citrix, we are among the small but growing design companies led. Our CEO, Mark Templeton has a degree in industrial design. His vision of providing technology to allow people to work and live better based on design thinking last peak each product and service. Under his leadership, Citrix has made "design thinking" strategic initiative. And the design develops in a cultural skill base throughout the company we strive to have all employees understand "why the design of questions for me."

Many new design programs . leadership support the California Arts College offers an MBA in design Strategy the Stanford d.school leadership training camps for dive leaders in design thinking the Fund invests in Designer founders of design.. they see the unique value that design leaders bring to the table and want to invest in their ideas.

It's about time. as the design becomes a business core competency of today ' hui, consumers will reap the benefits of the products and services that are truly designed for fun. and companies that provide and embrace the culture of design will emerge as the leaders.

A few months earlier, the prevailing feeling was that industry content providers would not subsidize the use mobile data.

However, according to AT & T, some content providers require data plans "no cost". They want AT & T to charge app developers for data consumed by customers.

More industry news is that AT & T may consider requiring the use of FaceTime on its network.

Could the ecosystem paradigm which governs the interdependencies between content providers, application developers and mobile network operators are moving?

Test Preparation Application Server Single By working with our partners Citrix Alliance hardware such as Cisco, Dell, HP and IBM, our goal is always to provide a set of test results that will allow potential customers to understand how a set of commonly used programs run and perform in a Citrix environment. These results can help in the process of decision making and architecture, and help determine the hardware and software limitations, breakpoints, and soft spots. These types of results may also be useful for Citrix XenDesktop assessment bodies with their own applications and infrastructure.

single test server scalability is key to our approach. the results of the single-server scalability tests correctly configured are often used as reference for assessing how a multi-test for large-scale server scalability will occur. Throughout this process, it is essential to ensure that the required applications are not only installed correctly, but are able to run without problems.

The process begins with a list of applications and workloads that describes how applications are generally used. However, it is extremely difficult and time consuming to evaluate a user interacting eight hours a day for five days a week to register and create an appropriate workload script. To help automate this process, Citrix uses automation tools of the workload, such as Login VSI (http://www.loginvsi.com). When using Login VSI, a standard set of applications are predefined for certain workloads, allowing testers to easily evaluate scalability. The most commonly used applications and plug-ins are Microsoft Office 07/2010, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash.

Microsoft Office applications are often virtualized with Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop architecture, and will be the focus in this first part of the article. When using Microsoft Office applications and plug-ins in a scalability test environment, there are many elements that need to be modified and optimized. When using Citrix XenDesktop with Citrix Provisioning Server, applications must be tested before converting your main image to a virtual disk. This blog will talk about installation options, application settings, and items to check when performing a single test server scalability for use with Citrix XenDesktop, Microsoft Windows 7 Enterprise, and the VSI ID.

Installing an appropriate version of Microsoft Office 07 and 2010
Microsoft Office 07 and 2010 can be installed by a variety of methods, being the most common traditional package format MSI package and App-V. However, when testing with Citrix XenDesktop, it is recommended to use Microsoft Office 07/2010 subscription Multiple Activation Key (MAK), Microsoft Key Management Server (KMS), or Microsoft Development Network (MSDN). Commercial versions of Microsoft Office are not supported for this purpose by Microsoft or Citrix. The tips below can help you save time before you install and test Microsoft Office.

• Check ISO file filename . Whether the installation of Microsoft Office 07 or 2010 applications using an ISO image, pay extra attention to the ISO file name as it will provide a clear indication of the type of installation of Microsoft Office. For example, the second entry below shows a Volume License (VL), while the former does not:

• en_office_standard_07_united_states_x86_cd_483881.iso
• en_office_professional_plus_2010_with_sp1_ vl _x86_dvd.iso (indicates Volume License)

• Mount ISO image and examine the installation disc . In case the file names for packages or ISO files have been changed, the folder structure can be explored before installation to determine if the distribution is not a retail volume. The images below show an example for Office 2010 to help determine via Windows Explorer if the support is mounted a VL or not. Step by step instructions for this verification process can be found at the following link.http: //support.microsoft.com/kb/931401

please refer to the Microsoft article below for more information on Microsoft office licenses. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/828378. Once the correct support of Microsoft Office installation is checked, the installation can begin. Install the latest Microsoft Office service pack is also good practice for Microsoft, Citrix, and Login VSI.

Access to Microsoft Office licenses with limited Internet connectivity In some situations, the system under test may not have appropriate Internet connectivity for Microsoft office 2010 activation, or it may not be able to communicate with an appropriate KMS host. This can be challenging if you plan to test longer than the period of activation by 25 days for Microsoft Office 2010. Several options can be used to work around the activation related situations.

• Option 1. Configure your own KMS server for testing . without access to enterprise KMS server labs can configure their own server for testing purposes. Access to key KMS business is highly desirable for this process. A step by step video on how to set up a KMS server is displayed at the following address: http://www.bing.com/videos/watch/video/setting-up-a-windows-kms-host/10tg0u61y ? cpkey = 0c1a5986-4243-436f-8c40-8b2c49aa0670% 7c% 7c% 7c% 7c

Furthermore, the following link provides information on Windows 7 build in a lab environment with KMS http: //support.citrix.com/article/CTX124106 If you are able to use a KMS server in your lab, you can also change your vDisk for KMS as described in this article about configuring KMS with Microsoft office 2010 for different scenarios. http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX128276

• Option 2. Use Microsoft Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT 2.0). Microsoft VAMT is a useful tool that allows administrators to activate Microsoft Office and Microsoft Windows clients from a console, even when these systems without access to the Internet. This tool is also useful with Citrix XenDesktop in a test case for confirming KMS activation in a large laboratory frame can be a challenge for Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office. Microsoft VAMT can also save your product keys, activate via online or by proxy, a state license activation request information, and save your confirmation ID. If your lab servers or virtual machines Hypervisors not have Internet connectivity, but a machine does have an Internet connectivity using the proxy activation can save time, allowing you to apply saved virtual machine confirmation ID specific. More information about using Microsoft VAMT and a step by step process can be found at the following address. http://www.bing.com/videos/watch/video/using-vamt-2-0/10tkzhtlq?cpkey=0c1a5986-4243-436f-8c40-8b2c49aa0670%7c%7c%7c%7c

• Option 3. Re-arm Microsoft Windows activation Grace Period . If necessary, the period of activation through Microsoft Windows can be extended or reset . A simple reset, your image and vDisk master server is an option to extend the period of activation grace if you plan to test more than 25 days and not have internet access, no options for KMS and can not use VAMT. The period 2010 Microsoft Office can be reset by a maximum of five times and Microsoft Windows 7 can be reset to a maximum of three times. More information on reset can be found in the following Microsoft. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624357.aspx

Note that it is important to rearm Microsoft Office before re-arming Windows 7 as mentioned in the following the blog entry. http://blogs.technet.com/b/deploymentguys/archive/2011/06/15/deploying-volume-activation-for-office-2010.aspx

Applications and Microsoft Office Test delete messages After Microsoft office is installed and enabled on the vDisk, it's time to test individual applications of the master VM console. To save time during any automated testing Login VSI, it is recommended to ensure that all Microsoft Office applications launch successfully. Ideally, the following tips should be followed before performing server conversion process image or Provisioning:

• Office 2010 Suppress recommended settings dialog . If the Microsoft Windows 7 virtual machines are connected to the Internet, then it is likely that a dialogue settings appears when testing the first Microsoft Office application. If the systems are not connected to the Internet, the dialog box may not appear. In both cases, this Group Policy administrative template will ensure that this message does not appear while you are the critical test period. http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=18968
• Launching each Microsoft Office application as a user other than the domain administrator . simply assuming that applications launch correctly without testing can be very problematic when running scalability tests for hundreds of thousands of users, which could lose a lot of time. Test each application from the VM console confirms how each application running and checks whether it will launch successfully. Make sure you can manually use Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook no extra pops up or application crashes.

Smartcards are the main mode of authentication in the most secure environments such as defense, finance, banking and some research organizations. If Smartcard should not the user remember their password or token and the authentication flow should run from end to end. For example, if we authenticate using smartcard authentication to the end point further, the authentication token must be sent to all infrastructure layers awaiting the token. If the passage through the mechanism is not proven then the authentication flow from one end to break resulting in a poor experience for the end user.

This was one of the challenges we faced over WIonNS deployments. WIonNS did not have the SSO and go through support for sending the identity of the user to the backend XenApp / XenDesktop infrastructure. Thus all use cases where Smartcards were the primary authentication mechanism, WIonNS was not the preferred method of deployment. Well ... that happened and with NetScaler 10 latest GA we added Smartcard based SSO support to WIonNS module. Now users can authenticate with AGED using client certificates by Smartcard or local cert store. After successful authentication, AGED will extract the username token from the certificate and send it to WIonNS. If WIonNS is configured for SSO based Smartcard then it passes the user token on the XenApp / XenDesktop server. The internal infrastructure confirm the validity of the user through the LDAP delegation and publish the applications to the user. Establishment WIonNS for this function is just a matter of following simple steps:

• WI tar file to use is " nswi-1.5.tgz "
• Install nswi-1.5.tgz NetScaler packet GUI
• Use the Web interface wizard to configure
• Choose default access method as " direct Gateway "
• Select access vserver respective gateway
• Click Settings and configure single sign-on domain
• Select the methodas access authentication gateway" Smartcard "

for an end to the Smartcard related configuration, click the Smartcard settings invoking following configuration wizard.

• Specify the CA certificate that should be used for client authentication
• Create the authentication policy and link it to the vserver ELDERLY
• Configure the type of authentication that CERT in the political
• Create the authentication server share for the field
• Make that the username field is set appropriately
• Configure SSL settings to enable client authentication
• Specify whether the client certificate is optional or compulsory
• Provide rest of the WI wizard configuration settings

And you're ready to go with functionally available WIonNS deployment with the Smartcard support. This simplified configuration experience should contribute to the rapid adoption of this feature.

Der Arbeitsplatz der Zukunft - if arbeiten wir 2020

Von Dr. Jürgen Müller, Area VP Central Europe bei Citrix Systems

Prognosen sind eine Sache heikle meist. Wir kennen das vom Wetterbericht: So richtig verlassen mag sich kaum jemand darauf. Allerdings noch weniger wollen die Menschen darauf verzichten. Es ist einfach nämlich spannend, sich Gedanken über die Zukunft zu machen. Das gilt auch für die natürlich Arbeitswelt, denn wir irgendwo sonst verbringen kaum Zeit soviel. Unsere aktuelle Studie dreht also sich genau darum, nämlich den Arbeitsplatz der Zukunft.

Wir haben zahlreiche IT-Verantwortliche gefragt, wie wir arbeiten im Jahr 2020 werden. Die Antwort darauf: Vor allem mobile. Wo heute ein rund Drittel Unternehmen der deutschen mobile Arbeitsmodelle anbietet, das werden im Jahr 2020 deutlich über 0 Prozent breast, also go fast. Arbeit ist dann nicht ein länger Synonym für das Gebäude oder das Büro, das wir in fünf Tagen a pro Woche gehen. Vielmehr ist sie dann eine Aufgabe, die wir bearbeiten. Jeder Mitarbeiter hat weitgehend die Freiheit, seinen Job in der Umgebung zu machen, die für ihn ist optimal. Ob das nun tatsächlich Eigenen am Arbeitsplatz in der Firma ist, wie bei 53 Prozent der Arbeitnehmer, oder doch lieber zu Hause - die Entscheidung liegt beim Mitarbeiter. Ich selbst beispielsweise komme aus dem Rheinland, die ist aber Citrix Zentrale bei München. Da bin ich froh, dass Unternehmen zu den Citrix gehört, bei denen mobile Arbeiten ist normal. So kann ich mehr Zeit bei meiner Familie und muss verbringen weniger pendeln, ein Vorteil den in Deutschland 46 Prozent der Arbeiter mobilen sehen. Für meine Work-Life-Balance ist das sehr zuträglich - und das auch schätzen 39 Prozent der Studienteilnehmer a mobilen Arbeitsmodellen. Zu den etwas für mich gewöhnungsbedürftigen Entwicklungen gehört, dass wir den einen oder anderen Kollegen dann im Stammcafé seinen Aufgaben nachgehen sehen. Rund ein Fünftel der Mitarbeiter der wird nach Einschätzung Befragten a solchen öffentlichen Orten arbeiten.

Mit der sich aber zunehmenden Mobilität verändern auch die Büros. Zum einen werden sie kleiner, rund 14 Prozent Fläche wollen die Unternehmen bis 2020 einsparen. Zum anderen wird es dann auch nicht mehr für einen eigenen Mitarbeiter jeden Schreibtisch geben. Die Studie zu dem Ergebnis kommt, dass für Mitarbeiter in deutschen Unternehmen zehn dann nur noch rund acht Schreibtische zur Verfügung stehen. Vielleicht sich dann muss eine neue zwar mancher Kollege Bleibe Grünpflanzen für oder die aus dem Figurensammlung suchen Überraschungsei. Dafür aber auch haben die Mitarbeiter deutlich mehr Freiheit, sich zu ihren Lieblingsarbeitsplatz suchen

Wer hat Angst Übrigens, dass er dann in Zukunft mit einem ganzen Arsenal verschiedener Endgeräte konfrontiert ist, kann beruhigt Sein :. Mehr als die sechs Stück Durchschnittlich, die wir heute schon für unsere Arbeit tägliche bedienen, auch nicht in 2020 werden

If the choice of the XenServer hypervisor, and using the mail storage, virtual disks are stored in VHD format. I want to show how to convert a raw image to the VHD format.

The first option might be to use the qemu-img tool, specifying the vpc format. This solution works, until you decide to take a snapshot of this virtual disk. OpenStack is itself the creation of snapshots uploaded images, so I really need this feature. The road is to compile blktap2 utilities and patch. This patch is floating on the web, and needed some adjustments to work with version 4.2 xen

Patch and build

1. Download the source xen vhd-util :.

    wget -q http://bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/4.2.0/xen-4.2.0.tar.gz

2. Unpack the sources:

    tar - xzf xen-4.2.0.tar.gz 

3. Go to tools:

    xen-4.2.0 cd / tools / 

4. patch

    wget https://github.com/citrix-openstack/xenserver-utils/raw/master/blktap2.patch -qO - | patch -p0 

5. Set

    ./ configure --disable-monitor --disable-ocamltools --disable-rombios --disable-seabios 

6. Brand:

    do 

Create an image VHD

I'll use a qcow2 picture, convert plain with qemu-img, and use vhd-util to convert to vhd

1.  cd blktap2 / vhd 

2.  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH = lib / 

3.  https wget: //launchpad.net/cirros/trunk/0.3.0/+download/cirros-0.3.0-x86_64-disk.img

4.  qemu-img convert crude Cirros -O-0.3 .0-x86_64-disk.img cirros.raw 

5. as a time stamp is stored in the VHD file, and it is controlled by the plug-in xapi OpenStack, I have to turn back time, to avoid "invalid primary footer: creation date in future errors" that come from vhd-util check -n vhdfile , so using faketime:

    faketime '2010-01-01'. / vhd-util convert - s 0 -t 1 -i -o cirros.raw cirros.vhd 

6.  faketime '01 .01.2010 './vhd-util convert -s -t 1 2 -i -o Cirros .vhd 0.vhd

Pew Research survey results show that 62% of smartphone owners and 64% of tablets use these mobile devices to check news. In addition, the study found that nearly 15% click on ads when getting news on a mobile device and about 7% actually buy something, that are higher clickthrough rates than about display ads based on a browser that are less than 1%.

Further evidence that mobility is the future, Comscore reports that mobile devices represent 1/8 page views Internet and ABI Research predicts by 2015 there will be 155 million mobile video users 2.4 million in 2010.

In the end, I get lots of questions from all of you about what happens with Access Gateway, that the current available options, and those to be used in any situation. Access Gateway continues to be a core product for Citrix, and has a vital role to play in providing secure remote access to users, providing access to resources for remote users. In an increasingly mobile and bring your own (BYO) world -. Access Gateway becomes the glue critical link that connects the enterprise to these devices on remote networks

This is the last on our current Access Gateway variants, capacities and recommendations

Access Gateway features a license for the platform, which runs on the ICA Proxy access (Equivalent functionality of the Secure Gateway) and more and more of it, can have universal access license, which runs on the analysis of point final, SmartAccess, and full tunnel SSLVPN for Windows and Mac devices. All variants have the Access Gateway license the platform as an integrated law (so nothing needs to be purchased, other than the platform itself) If the only thing needed was a secure remote access to XenDesktop environments / XenApp - then just the Access Gateway platform should suffice. Obviously, there are security and usability additional benefits that come into play, using the universal access licenses

There are two variants of the AG platform -.

1. Access Gateway (Enterprise) VPX - that supports up to 500 concurrent users (same capacity as the outgoing VPX AG on base versions 5.x and 4.x software)
2. Access Gateway (Enterprise) MPX - which supports up to 5000 concurrent users (based on the NetScaler MPX 5500 platform)

for higher user capacity, the NetScaler before 7500, provide superior scalability

regarding the Universal licenses -.
1. They can be purchased standalone
2. They are right to XenDesktop / XenApp Platinum
3. They have a right to CloudGateway Enterprise

In the context of CloudGateway Enterprise, the Universal license turns the microphone VPN on iOS and Android Receivers, which now allows us to browse all web intranet sites from these devices, when connected to a public network. For more information on Micro VPN - see my other blog here

For those Citrix Synergy, our annual customer and partner event in Barcelona next week - we'll cover all of these, and other details of some fresh new features in the session on Access Gateway

Date / Time: October 18, 16.00-16.45,

Since the announcement of the Avalon Project at Synergy San Francisco in May, I have had many conversations with customers trying to understand exactly what it means to operate or use Windows as a cloud service. The words "cloud" or "cloud service" can have many different connotations and many business customers the cloud can be a scary place they know they are headed for, but not sure what their organizations iT, infrastructure or workflow will look like when they get there.

instead of trying to explain the concepts of cloud operations and IT-as-a-service, I would like to discuss two different but related conversations I have had with many IT organizations that have requested exactly what Project Avalon offers ... but never used the word cloud

operating at cloudscale.

It has been well established that the performance of small desktop virtualization deployments is easy. An administrator can create original images, thin provision to create a group of clones, and manage some workstations catalogs against some AD security groups. The administrator knows what resources he can see the servers and storage in a rack and knows he has the network between hosts and storage to give him or IOPS performance and can see the load on individual hosts for ensure performance and availability. With a background in virtual infrastructure tools and practical knowledge of XenDesktop or VDI-in-a-box, a single administrator can easily manage hundreds or even a few thousand workstations without leaving his console.

Get a few hundred to several thousand workstations gets harder ... An administrator can not see or touch all the necessary resources, and the division of labor becomes critical. Storage, networking, virtual infrastructure, support and NOC teams must all work together to optimize their part of the puzzle by adding reliability and efficiency. workload performance requirements very transient and IOPS critical with varying degrees of persistence and HA requirements can certainly be conquered, and were my many XenDesktop customers running tens of thousands of jobs, but each of these clients to work on their own management workflow based on manual processes and / or scripts that are prone to human error as any manual process.

So the common question we receive from our more experienced clients is how they can increase their environment while separating the roles of a virtual desktop manager with those of the storage or networking, or virtual infrastructure teams? How data center infrastructure team can provide good service to the Office team, and vice-versa so that they can optimize the delivery of virtual desktops? These customers will never use the word cloud, but that is exactly what they want.

The first phase of Avalon project, the release Excalibur is designed among other things to provide customizable, purpose and field based RBAC (Role based access controls them) designed to allow management across the cloud to FlexCast through application and desktop delivery. Then advanced configuration logging and intelligent configuration wizards help ensure secure deployments consistent at any scale.

See overview Tech Excalibur

The next phase of Avalon project, the Merlin release, is being built to take advantage of a layer of abstraction between computing, storage and networking infrastructure and desktop services set needed to make the simple virtualization to the "next level." by defining the transfer between infrastructure resources and higher level services, it can more easily manage and reliably complexity of cloud-scale availability and performance management through the instrumentation and automation.

IT centralization

another common maintenance with our enterprise customers is along the lines of the age old struggle with the consolidation and centralization of iT resources while meeting the needs of local or disparate business units. Whether an IT organization acquires new companies, expanding oversees, or just trying to reduce costs by centralizing resources, or improve their security posture through standardization, there is a constraint between "local" and "central" IT. Generally, it is the office of people who are caught in the middle. Local administrators are to meet the demands and requirements of their local leaders and co-workers while trying to enforce centralized policies reorganized their "bosses" in the company. (Sound familiar, anyone?)

The constraint does not cease to be the local teams. The central office team tries to understand how virtualize thousands of applications and determine the right mix of virtual and hosted applications based image applications installed to the business units on another continent. Central teams know the infrastructure, they do not, and probably can not expect to understand the workflow needs of users worldwide.

These customers require a way to provide central office services with the ability to standardize for cost and security policy, but delegate the creation and management of the individual image management, politics the group, and the virtualization of application nearest IT organizations to their "clients".

again, the project will enable Avalon centralized IT organizations to organize effectively to provide cost advantages and strengthening the security of mass centralization, while enabling decentralized IT resources to take advantage of a central service to customize and manage services for their users. The instrumentation and automation behind "cloud portals" are a necessity to enable companies to take advantage of "cloud", or massively centralized resources that they can not see or touch.

Instead of treating the central resource just like a large pool of infrastructure, the Avalon project goes one step further to build a service offerings, service catalog, or a subscriber options menu specific to Windows workstations and application services. This approach enables enterprise IT organizations to effectively leverage the power of the cloud with the workflow, instrumentation, tools and best practices needed to take advantage of economies of scale. Meanwhile, a new class of service designers will be empowered to create services focusing on user productivity and convenience for the business units, distributed locations and end-users with the tools they need to work and play everywhere. In short Central IT acting as a service provider.

If you're one of the millions in the Northeast lucky enough to escape the worst of Sandy, but now need to get back to work, gassing for a long ride is not the most productive way to catch up.

many employees already have email as a primary connection for remote work but receives far. Most need access to applications and data that may not be available behind the company firewall.

In addition, there are meetings and collaboration with colleagues that are essential to do the job. But not everyone really needs to be in the office to do the job?

..

.

.

now, perhaps a good time to consider some of the options available from Citrix to get the organization back on track without adding hours of suffering commuting employees schedules.

.

work PC access at home with RemotePC

for organizations with PC in the office is an option to provide employees access from their home device (PC, Mac, iPad, whatever). This can be done safely under control with XenDesktop RemotePC functionality without VDI or server infrastructure. Companies with existing XenDesktop can extend virtual environments for employees with the PC desktop by installing a VDA (Virtual Desktop Agent) on the computer image and the registration of new designated employees. For companies without implementation of existing XenDesktop, its possible to install some virtual machines with XenDesktop broker required and the bridge to get up and running quickly. This implementation provides RemotePC successful access to employees working PC, but does not require a complete VPN with security risks from unsecured devices. The data is not sent to the remote computer only the user interface.

This version, I am very pleased to unveil a new face of the Command Center

Command Center 5.1 brings a fresh new appeal with a redesign Absolute user interface. The new user interface features a more organized and intuitive navigation that has been introduced in order to bring consistency across all Citrix network products.

Version 5.1 adds the analysis of the series of Command Center by introducing AGED Syslog analysis. He breaks open the Syslogs into meaningful graphs and pie charts, covering the first 10 parameters using SSLVPN. Analyses AGED Syslog addresses issues raised around the use SSLVPN that comes through in the day to day administration of

• What are the top user sessions
• What are applying top CIA used?
• Which users consume high bandwidth?
• During a VPN connection, what type of customer from ICA, or Clientless agent was used the most?
• Which users do not meet EPA policies of scanning?
• Which users have had the most failed connection attempts?

in addition to these, it also allows you to view the top usage data over a period of time with ease clickable graphics.

CC With 5.1 we are extending our family of device management by introducing management and monitoring support for NetScaler Cluster & Repeater for NetScaler SDX. The Cluster Management allows you to discover cluster Cluster IP address or via a node and even allows you to cluster formation. It also provides performance reporting, configuration management, monitoring entity and change management on the IP address of the cluster.

I know for sure after disclosing these 3 main improvements you would like to hang 5.1 as soon as you can! Now let me add the icing on the cake by sharing the list of additional reasons why you would like 5.1 Beta

Other new features of 5.1

• NetScaler SDX 10 output support
• support for fault management
• NetScaler 10.x Upgrade integrated tasks Extended
• time wait & phasing
• BR base reports compression ratio
• Actual cumulative Vserver Hits & SSL reports

Since the list includes this version enhances most basic modules. It extends the fault management support with NetScaler SDX traps Cluster and NetScaler specific SNMP. He takes off the function on / module monitoring entity Entities to another level with the waiting time and the graceful shutdown option. It will now go to NetScaler 10.x integrated tasks as configuration management module. To top it all, it gives the support of several meters for NetScaler and repeater in performance reporting module.

I did and I loved a practical 5.1 !!

Do you play it ?? !!

In recent years, XenServer competitors have presented several arguments against using XenServer and arguments often center around a feature that they did not want 't.

A perfect example is the question of ROI virtualization and shared memory. VMware was often ready to present that vSphere had better return on investment due to their ability to balloon, the share and swap memory. Despite the methodological problems of these reports, it was just an argument when XenServer has not had the opportunity to manage the guest VM memory. However, when we presented our bloated memory solution, the dynamic memory control, the focus was away from the memory as the key factor in the return on investment, and storage live migration has become the new focal point .

There are of course a number of scenarios fairly common where migrating a drive from a storage solution to another meaning of the brand, and before XenServer 6.1, it was quite easy to meet these requirements; as long as you do not mind turning the virtual machine first.

The interesting thing is that when you speak highly available applications, assuming those applications are deployed by best practices, they constantly run with an offline node; but administrators were reluctant to commit downtime. The number of arguments as to why live storage migration was a genuine requirement does impress me, but when you think about it it was an effective marketing effort that creates a need to match the capabilities of a function .

With XenServer 6.1, we too have addressed the same need storage migration live, but also recognized a key component of virtualization today; Successful data centers are not bound by arbitrary cluster sizes longer. Successful data center consolidation choose a size that makes sense for the types of hosted workloads, and if you really need to live migration, you are by definition going to need live migration between clusters. With Storage XenMotion in XenServer 6.1, which was one of the first design requirements. This means that if you have resource pools with a single server, or resource pools with only local storage, or hundreds of resource pools of storage XenMotion was designed with you in mind.

Of course, live migration of virtual machines still did not address the most traditional event company use such as replacing aging storage arrays or addressing a LUN was short on space. In these models, the VM will remain stationary, but the underlying drive is the piece that moves. Fortunately by addressing a fundamental requirement of large scale data centers and cloud providers first, we have also created a solution that is perfectly suited to meet the operational needs of storage management in data centers of business.

If you want to see in action Storage XenMotion, please take a look at this short video series I recorded that covers three scenarios for common use. Better yet, if you want to make XenMotion storage experience for yourself, download a copy of XenServer and then start a free trial XenServer Advanced Edition. If you are looking for a little light reading on the subject, please please a look at this summary. With nearly one million downloads XenServer under our belt, we see that when he wants to balance functionality with a cost; XenServer is their clear choice and Storage XenMotion this choice just got a little easier.
