... this is one of the most frequently asked and most intensely debated issues at a XenApp or XenDesktop design. Well, in general, the answer is actually quite simple. It is highly recommended to build new solutions based on StoreFront, since new features will be not be added in the Web interface and end of life (EOL) has been announced for the Web interface. Moreover -and this can be of outmost web interface does not support XenDesktop 7 or later.
While the scenarios were XenApp 6.5 or XenDesktop 5.x (do not know why you should be using an older version) Web Interface is deployed is still a viable option. For all other scenarios, you need to spend some thoughts on how to design your StoreFront environment.
To simplify the design process, we just released an updated version of the StoreFront Planning Guide (CTX136547) and added a chapter to the respective Citrix Virtual Desktop 5.x Guide (CTX136546). In both documents, we focus n the following design decisions :?
- or StoreFront Web Interface - What are the characteristics of the web interface that are not currently available in StoreFront
- High Availablity - How to ensure StoreFront infrastructure can support simple breakdowns or even mulit-server
- security (inbound / backend) - what network traffic should be encrypted and why
- delivery controllers - What is the recommended method for connecting XenApp or XenDesktop controllers
- Keywords - is there a supply of self means applications or desktops to users
- Extension - ?? how much and how fast
In addition, the StoreFront Planning Guide contains a section describing planning designs for scenarios 500, 5,000 and 10,000 users. In a fourth example of designing a scenario with XenDesktop split sites and dedicated home data centers is discussed. Hereby, we briefly discuss the new HA and DR features that simplify StoreFront implementation XenApp or XenDesktop Modular building blocks rather than massive monolithic infrastructures.
Please note that the current version of Virtual Desktop Manual always focuses on XenDesktop 5.6, XenApp 6.5 and XenClient Provisioning services 6.x Enterprise 4.5, but we are actively working on updating of the document. We hope to have an initial version Q4 loan early. Stay tuned ...
