Editor's Notes
- US
- Are your desktop or server business apps forcing you to run unsupported OS or IE? Are you doing a Win 10 upgrade? Have you deployed your apps on VDI when you wanted to use XenApp? Do you want to move your apps to Azure, Citrix Cloud? Customers like GE Healthcare, Advanced Computer Software – UK based Healthcare software provider, Intellectual Property Office, SSP Group who operate food franchises in travel industry Starbucks in Europe, Burger King, Yo Sushi
- Business Priorities Reduce Risk Increase User Productivity Move to the Cloud
- App depends on legacy OS / IE Hard coded dependencies Need to deploy the app on VDI App wont run on Server OS Unable to upgrade the app Used by too many systems processes Vendor does not offer migration path Lost application expertise Src code, developers, vendor cost of retraining staff, unable to run systems in parallel, process depends upon the specific application version
- Enable any client or server application to run on any version of Windows 10, 7, Server 2008R2, 2012R2, 2016 or Azure and publish with Citrix XenApp or deliver with XenDesktop VDI Enable web apps tied to IE 6/7/8/9/10 to be run in IE 11 and deployed to Windows 10, Server 2012 R2, or Azure Package once, deploy anywhere
- XenApp Persistent & non-persistent VDI Server based apps
- No need to talk about this is if it is covered in the demo
- Create a snapshot of the virtual machine Start capture process Install the App End capture Auto packager creates a diff [Option] Perform runtime analysis of changes the app makes when it starts up and is configured for the first time, Choose which App shortcuts / processes are started and monitored Next select what you want to add to the package [Optional] Add own custom configuration and redirections for network, processes, files, registries
- Poll – Say yes to the poll if you would like your name and email address passed to Cloudhouse to then contact you and arrange a follow up call, demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQaBfSwe7aw
