South Greetings from California! Mark Templeton announced XenDesktop 7 today at Synergy Keynote here in Anaheim, and we all share the enthusiasm of the audience. So I wanted to give you an update on the VDI-in-a-Box, the next version of VDI-in-a-Box shares some important technologies with Citrix XenDesktop 7.
Remember maybe a blog post I wrote a month ago about VDI-in-a-Box Project Curacao. The technology preview was for two weeks and a number of our partners and customers really liked. Today we are pleased to announce that we turn Curacao project in the next version of VDI-in-a-Box, version 5.3. VDI-in-a-Box 5.3 will be available in late June and focus on the following areas:
Full Windows 8 support
Version 5.3 will ship with the same component VDA / HDX and PVD (Personal vDisk) as XenDesktop component 7. This is the first time we have major updates to the technology "simship" between XenDesktop and VDI-in-a-Box! Windows 8 virtual desktops will work with HDX connections for a better user experience, and benefit from the improvement in the 3D support of the application, the new H.264 SuperCodec, and reduced bandwidth consumption. personal workstations (PVD) will be available on both Windows 7 and Windows 8, providing a personalized user experience on the latest Windows desktop operating system.
We also include support for the new format VHDX Windows 2012. In the current version of VDI-in-a-Box, the VHDX screen still works, but is converted to VHD format on the fly. VDI-in-a-Box 5.3 will support VHDX formats natively, allowing customers to take advantage of the new format.
Better supportability
As we see more and more partners begin to provide VDI-in-a-Box solutions, the team wanted to improve the sustainability of our product already quite robust.
to end users, VDI-in-a-Box 5.3 will provide better, more specific error messages, and self-service buttons so that users are able to solve connection problems themselves wherever possible. And as seen in the overview of the technology, remote users can single sign-on (SSO) in virtual offices on Netscaler Access Gateway Web interface.
For IT and support organizations, we improved VDI-in-a-Box logging in key areas such as licensing, jgroup and HV connector. Log collection is also facilitated. - Now you can collect logs from all vdiManagers on vdiManager by clicking a button
We also twisted internal product quite a bit and that version 5.3 is much more robust and the successful release.
improved IT experience
As seen in the overview of the technology, VDI-in-a-Box will come with a new 5.3 SSL controlled by a assistant installation and certificate management. Admins often need to install an SSL certificate on trust vdiManagers to avoid security warnings in browsers of end users, and they used to have to do from the command line of each vdiManager device. Version 5.3 lets you install and manage SSL certificates that are both reliable and self-signed from the administration console. You will be able to distribute certificates installed on other servers in a grid from the same user interface.
VDI-in-a-Box 5.3 will come with Citrix Universal Print components make the printing experience level with XenDesktop. Admins no longer needs to install multiple network printer drivers in the gold more pictures. Universal Printing requires no driver installation in pictures.
We supported the three major hypervisors and with each release VDI-in-a-Box, we added support for the latest versions of hypervisors. In version 5.3, we add support for the next version of XenServer.
Throughout the coming weeks, the team VDI-in-a-Box will be written on some of the new features in more detail. So make sure you come back later to the Citrix blog to learn more about VDI-in-a-Box 5.3!
