    Trying to download demo off Slideshare it says embedded ... go to Citrix. Trying to download demo off Citrix it says invalid account. Great way to make something trivial really painful

Citrix Xen Desktop Architecture Deep Dive - Presentation Transcript

  1. Citrix XenDesktop Architecture Deep Dive
  2. Agenda VDI Business Drivers – the customer problem XenDesktop v2 – how it works XenDesktop v2 – components XenDesktop v2 – implementation
  3. Traditional Desktop Deployment Well-known processes – but labor intensive, with significant challenges
    • Slow to deploy
      • Days or weeks
    • Complex to secure
      • Across campuses, companies & countries
    • Costly to maintain
      • $4-9K per desktop per year (Gartner)
    Image Secure Deploy Monitor Maintain Back-up Retire Procure 1 2 3 4 8 7 6 5 Distributed Desktop Lifecycle
  4. What Is Desktop Virtualization? Desktop Appliance VM Infrastructure VM VM VM VM

  6. Desktop Virtualization A good technology but an incomplete solution
    • Some benefits
      • Easier to secure and backup
    • Many of the same challenges
      • PC sprawl becomes image sprawl
    • Introduces new challenges
      • Degraded user experience
      • Immature lifecycle management tools
      • High SAN Storage costs
    Centralized Desktop Lifecycle Data Center Image Secure Deploy Monitor Maintain Back-up Retire Procure 1 2 3 4 8 7 6 5
  7. XenDesktop with Integrated App Delivery Dynamically Assembles Virtual Desktops Users Data Center Single master image of each component Apps User Settings OS

  53. XenDesktop Setup Tool
    • Initial Configuration
    • Specify the provisioning server.
    • Specify the desktop server.
    • Specify the AD XenDesktop Farm OU
    • Select the virtual infrastructure service and specify the master server.
    • Optionally enable event logging.
  54. XenDesktop Setup Tool
    • Create virtual desktops
    • Wizard driven virtual desktop creation
  55. XenDesktop Setup Tool
    • Select the base VM
    • Select the VM used to build the base virtual disk image.
    • IMPORTANT: The base VM virtual network interface must match the network interface used when creating the vDisk.
  56. XenDesktop Setup Tool
    • Name Virtual Desktops
    • Desktop names will be assigned by combining base hostname plus a number starting for the start index.
    • Example for Sales Group (Sales1, Sales2, Sales3, …, Sales100)
    • Base Hostname = Sales
    • No. of Clones = 100
    • Start Index = 1
    • Desktop Group = Sales
  57. XenDesktop Setup Tool
    • Select the virtual disk
    • “ Use Provisioning Server for pooled desktops” is checked.
      • New desktops are created using a single provisioning server vDisk image.
      • Use this option for creating pooled (shared) desktop groups.
    • “ Use Provisioning Server for pooled desktops” is unchecked.
      • Can clone an entire VM with hard disk
      • The base VM should be SysPrepped.
      • Use this option for creating assigned (dedicated) desktop groups.
  58. XenDesktop Setup Tool
    • Summary Screen
    • Shows the configuration options that were selected in the wizard.
    • In this scenario we are creating 20 virtual desktops VMs using a single provisioning server vDisk image.
    • The hostnames will be xendesktop1, xendesktop2, …. xendesktop20.
    • These new virtual desktops will be added to the existing desktop group called “desktops”.
