Dear XenApp customer
You may not realize, however, a public cloud is probably in your , Future
you can view Chalk re up to my last visit of AWS :. Invent conference, the least to say was overwhelming
There is little doubt that public clouds a play key role in 9 out of 10 companies IT strategies-they are $ 8,000,000,000 pull in and at 80% per year keeps growing! There is also a high probability that you will not only a public cloud in the near future the use, but also one will be loaded with Citrix products.
Well, I'm not saying that you would move lock and bow in a public cloud. But it is likely that you will meet the use of your IT needs in some way to a public cloud is. It does not have to AWS, but it could Azure, Strato, Rackspace or Google Compute Engine be.
Sorry, I lied. You will not * A * Public Cloud goodbye, but many public clouds.
My experience until now with customers who have adopted a public cloud early is that in a short time, they develop a single cloud to a multi-cloud strategy. See the stats below that show the majority of customers are planning a multi-cloud strategy, take over.
This is just one of the areas where Citrix Workspace cloud outshines its competitors' solutions, especially of VMware. VMware is forcing customers to use a cloud. Not only any cloud, but " their cloud" if it fits your needs.
Citrix, on the other hand, comprises an "every cloud" strategy, so that to choose our customers the right cloud or clouds that her suit use case, and business needs. Not only that, it offers a range of services via Citrix Lifecycle management, which makes simple and practical multiple cloud usage.
to say goodbye to the Top 3 ways Citrix Lifecycle management a public cloud strategy.
1 Let's look possible. Simplify mask the provision of the underlying public cloud complexity.
A typical IT administrator who learn years spent hypervisor architectures thus, is now with the enormous challenge presents an entirely new set of architectures learn. For example, AWS provides various services such EC2 & VPC (Virtual Private Cloud), ELB (Elastic Load Balancer), SGs (security groups that traditional firewalls replace), EIP (Elastic IP), all very different from traditional hypervisor concepts.
While other vendors make their customers look after in this complex, technological wilderness, offers Citrix Lifecycle Management pre-validated plans for all Citrix solutions that will orchestrate seamlessly these architectural components. an admin can deploy an entire XenApp solution, including the controller, facades, databases and NetScaler to the prescribed architecture on one of the supported public clouds. A simple click interface allows the user to provide the desired business use case adjust. Pretty cool, huh?
2. Ensure that the inserts are in a public cloud safely.
A major concern for businesses, the use of public clouds is security.
Product groups Citrix teamed with our security experts to outline the ideal architecture and best practices for safe installation of XenApp, XenDesktop, NetScaler and other workloads. Unsurprisingly, these recommendations are specific to a public cloud. For instance on AWS, it is ideal to implement XenApp in a virtual private cloud, which has no access to the public Internet. End users access their virtual desktops and applications via NetScaler Gateway.
course best practices used in NetScaler securely on AWS. Furthermore, administrators should control delivery access (Studio, Director, etc.) via a "bastion server", the NAT functionality effectively provides. Companies can go one step further isolate the XenApp / XenDesktop control level of VDAS by providing on separate virtual networks.
Look here to provide a detailed reference architecture for XenApp in AWS: https://www.citrix.com/content/dam/citrix/en_us/documents/products-solutions/citrix-xenapp-on-aws-reference-architecture.pdf

IT administrators looking AWS can accept, of course, in a lot of time and resources to spend to understand these effects on the safety and manually deploy the specifications Citrix workloads. Instead CLM plans already implemented Citrix workloads on these security recommendations. The focus is on fast real customers on a proven Citrix reference architecture based help get value.
Furthermore, the plans slightly to close security measures are adjusted to (eg additional hardening of the used server for your business are unique and sure, etc.) that all cloud deployments for your business security and compliance standards to be observed.
Note that it gets more complicated, for clients who would like to adopt multi-Cloud. Azure, for example, provides security paradigms that are quite different from those of the AWS. However, as mentioned above, are the blueprints CLM per Azure security models.
3 provide. Improve public cloud day-to-day operations through consistent "Manage" Services
Another legitimate concern that our customers and partners is the day-to-day operating expenses often cite a public cloud in the adoption. Let's start with the monitoring, which is essential to ensure workload availability. have on-site IT Admins conventional tools such as HP Node Manager or IBM Tivoli uses. These tools do not translate well for public cloud deployments.
cloud providers offer custom monitoring solutions to bridge this gap. AWS cloud Watch is one such example. But coming cloud clock with multiple restrictions. For example, they followed only a limited amount of infrastructure. To make things most other public clouds tackle this difficult in very different ways.
Citrix Lifecycle Management elegantly addresses this problem by in-built monitoring service, the infrastructure metrics, and application-specific metrics tracked. It is also easily expandable. Our CSA partners can use this to provide packs monitoring, which are ideal for a particular vertical, that they are aligned.
However, they are not limited to this service. The Citrix Lifecycle Management platform integrates seamlessly with many of our technology partner solutions. You want proof? Throw. A look at the plans of our monitoring partners Xangati, ComTrade or EC innovations Plan Catalog
One of the main reasons for the customer to use a public cloud to optimize cost of workloads with variable usage patterns to be. This brings a new set of challenges, as you have to be able to scale up specific metrics or Meiosis providing based on load, or another application.
In public clouds, to integrate different services need to achieve this. For instance on AWS, Cloud clock service, Auto Scale and Service Provisioning Service must be integrated in order to achieve this. As hard as that would be, it still has only the ability to track infrastructure metrics. If you want to scale based on the surrounding application-specific metrics such as number of sessions or session performance, etc., it would require more customization and complexity.
Citrix Lifecycle Management in turn greatly simplifies this by providing automatic scaling incorporated. In addition, apart from the monitoring and automatic scaling, lifecycle management, a number of services offers redundancy (auto-healing) to comprehensively manage, disaster recovery etc. It also provides the opportunity to plan operational tasks and daily, weekly can be performed monthly.
that's just a fly-by view, how to use Lifecycle Management to significantly lower the bar for public cloud adoption. I hope to delve deeper into each of these topics. Stay tuned!
Sounds too good to be true? Why do not you give it a quick spin?
