Harness the power of cloud deployment models for hosted XenApp and Xen Desktop

Harness the power of cloud deployment models for hosted XenApp and Xen Desktop -

As companies began to move some of their IT projects in the cloud, they become comfortable and are now looking to enjoy more agility clouds and economic benefits. This opens new deployment patterns at a rate that was not possible before. For example, consider the following use cases related to XenApp deployments / XenDesktop in a global enterprise with distributed users:

• quickly ramping infrastructure for a new set of internal clients after a merger
• deployment of XenApp / XenDesktop solutions closer to end users, while keeping the applications and central data in the global data center.

in both cases, using the cloud will help tremendously in accelerating the deployment. The company can choose a public cloud provider with good proximity, cost structure and availability to deploy XenApp / XenDesktop closer to end users. They can keep the application servers, Active Directory data and rest safely in their own data center. In this model, they are able to reap the benefits of a truly hybrid solution to scale and security.

In this solution, there remains the issue of secure connectivity between public and private cloud data center. Most cloud providers offer a VPN gateway for businesses to connect to. But there remains the question of WAN performance limitations due to latency and / or packet loss in the network. These generally reduce the speed of the WAN connection and affect the performance of the overall solution.

CloudBridge Citrix addresses this problem by combining the secure cloud connectivity to WAN optimization to enable a truly seamless hybrid cloud deployment. The main advantages of this integrated approach are:

• optimizing TCP CloudBridge handles traffic at the network layer acting as a TCP proxy to speed data transfer . CloudBridge dynamically adjusts the behavior of the TCP window size and the congestion response to maximize throughput for WAN available conditions (latency and loss)
• Data compression :. CloudBridge implements a high performance compression engine to reduce the volume of data transferred over the tunnel
• acceleration Protocol :. Some protocols such as CIFS or MAPI, could greatly benefit from the protocol optimization when running over the WAN. Acting as a local proxy, CloudBridge accelerates the exchange of information and releases the additional bandwidth that can be used for other critical data
• QoS :. CloudBridge implements deep application-level classification and prioritization of traffic over the tunnel that help to enforce the SLA at the application level.

The following image shows how the solution is deployed.

What's New?

has Synergy, Citrix announced the enterprise data center capacity to have a single device incorporating cloud connectivity and WAN optimization. This will be supported on large CloudBridge devices starting in data center class and can be used in conjunction with virtual appliances CloudBridge in the cloud:

• Amazon Web Services: AMI available AWS market
• Softlayer: available from the supplier
• BareMetal Cloud and other support providers XenServer, Hyper-V or ESX images: VPX instances available for download from Citrix.com
