Xd planning guide - storage best practicesNuno Alves
The Citrix Storage planning guide provides a list of best practices, recommendations and
performance related tips that cover the most critical areas of storage integration with Citrix
XenDesktop. It is not intended as a comprehensive guide for planning and configuring storage
infrastructures, nor as a storage training handbook.
Due to scope, this guide provides some device-specific information. For additional device- specific
configuration, Citrix suggests reviewing the storage vendor’s documentation, the storage vendor’s
hardware compatibility list, and contacting the vendor’s technical support if necessary
This document is an introduction to Disk Storage technologies and its terminology. Within this
document basic disk and storage architectures as well as storage protocols and common fault
tolerance technologies will be discussed. It is not intended as a comprehensive guide for planning
and configuring storage infrastructures, nor as a storage training handbook.
Due to scope, this guide provides some device-specific information. For additional device- specific
configuration, Citrix suggests reviewing the storage vendor‘s documentation, the storage vendor‘s
hardware compatibility list, and contacting the vendor‘s technical support if necessary.
For design best practices and planning guidance, Citrix recommends reviewing the Storage Best
Practices and Planning Guide (http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX130632)
This document describes how XenServer provides and keeps track of the storage supplied to its guests. The first section
is a reminder of how Linux looks at storage and the second section builds on that to explain XenServer storage. Basic
knowledge of Linux is required, as some standard tools are used.
XenDesktop relies on the hypervisor for many core functions, including VM creation, power operations, performance and redundancy. Therefore, it is important that you take the time to design an appropriate hypervisor infrastructure (XenServer, Hyper-V or vSphere). Otherwise, you may experience performance, functionality or even reliability issues.
Most information required to design a XenDesktop deployment on your chosen hypervisor platform is available publicly, but it can be hard to find since it’s spread across a multitude of knowledge base articles or white papers. In order to simplify and speed-up the design process, we’re in the process of consolidating the information that you need into a single document and augmenting it with recommendations and best practices. We’ve just finished incorporating the Hyper-V 2008 R2 and SCVMM 2012 planning section into the latest release of the Citrix Virtual Desktop Handbook, which includes important design decisions relating to this hypervisor, for example:
Selecting and sizing the right physical hardware for virtual machines
Knowing what storage options available for Hyper-V 2008 R2
What type of networks to build on the Hyper-V host
How to size the SCVMM servers
Designing a highly available SCVMM solution
Planning an effective failover cluster
The products covered in this current release of the handbook include XenDesktop 5.6, XenApp 6.5, Provisioning Services 6.x and XenClient Enterprise 4.5. A version of the Virtual Desktop Handbook covering XenDesktop 7.x, Provisioning Services 7, Hyper V 2012 R2 and SCVMM 2012 R2 is in the works with an initial release scheduled later in Q4. As always your feedback is welcomed.

1. Citrix NetScaler VPX Datasheet
Virtualizing the power of
advanced web application
delivery services
Citrix NetScaler VPX provides the
complete NetScaler web application
load balancing, acceleration, security
and offload feature set in a simple,
easy-to-install virtual appliance. IT
organizations of any size can deploy
NetScaler VPX on industry standard
servers—on-demand—anywhere in
the datacenter.
www.citrix.com
2. Deploying web applications can be complex and costly. More applications
need to be deployed to more users on more devices continually. This need
can overwhelm the ability of IT departments to deliver adequate user
performance, yet businesses demand that web applications always be
available and secure. IT organizations are embracing virtualized infrastructure
as a means to facilitate device consolidation, reduce costs and shuffle
resources on-demand to rapidly respond to business needs.
NetScaler VPX – Enabling a virtual infrastructure
Citrix® NetScaler® VPX converges virtualization and networking. NetScaler
Key benefits: VPX makes functionality typically only offered on specialized, high-end
• Reduces server costs by 60% network devices available as a virtual appliance that can be easily and
dynamically deployed on a single server or across entire cloud datacenters.
• Accelerates web The simplicity and flexibility of NetScaler VPX make it easy and cost
applications by five times effective to fully optimize every web application. For example:
• Secures web applications
• Ensures high availability • Provide secure remote access and high availability for smaller
Citrix® XenApp™ and Citrix® XenDesktop™ installations
• Include Citrix® NetScaler® within development, lab and
test environments
• Provision and deprovision NetScaler VPX instances on-demand
within service and cloud provider environments
• Cost effectively deploy full NetScaler functionality in front of
web-based applications, such as Microsoft® SharePoint® and
Office Communication Server
Leverage in-place processing capacity
With NetScaler VPX, IT can take full advantage of virtualized servers and
associated resources that are already in place and deploy application delivery
controllers on-demand anywhere in any network or datacenter. NetScaler
VPX is not dependent on specific server hardware, which enables enterprises
to exploit low-cost, commodity server platforms. In addition, multiple
NetScaler instances can be deployed on a single physical server to maximize
utilization of hardware infrastructure. At the other end of the spectrum,
service providers now have the option to utilize whatever special-purpose
hardware—for example, NEBS compliant or DC-powered systems—from
whatever source best meets their needs or internal standards.
Protect infrastructure investments
The ability to easily upgrade NetScaler VPX licenses and swap out underlying
hardware platforms to up-size or down-size an implementation as needed
represents a considerable degree of investment protection, especially relative to
fixed form-factor alternatives. In addition, a broad range of price-performance
combinations ensures that there is a good fit for every use case, from
small-to-medium and departmental implementations to those typical of larger
enterprises and service providers.

3. Citrix NetScaler VPX Datasheet
Provision infrastructure on-demand
NetScaler VPX enables organizations to dynamically provision crucial
application delivery services in support of dynamically provisioned
web applications. With NetScaler VPX, individual applications and the
functionality required to ensure their availability, performance and
security can be spun up, spun down and even migrated as conditions
dictate. Responsiveness is enhanced at the same time that the use
(and re-use) of computing resources is optimized, further improving
operational efficiency and automation.
Customize web application delivery
IT organizations can mix physical and virtual appliances to create a web
application delivery fabric. Specifically, NetScaler MPX appliances can be
deployed at the datacenter edge to address high-capacity network-wide
actions while NetScaler VPX can be deployed, on-demand, deeper within
the datacenter core to handle application-specific processor intensive actions—
all managed via Citrix Command Center. This provides the lowest TCO and
greatest flexibility. By exploiting the specific strengths of both physical and
virtual appliances, the resulting web application delivery fabric enables
maximum functionality and flexibility at minimum cost.
Further key advantages of this approach include:
• Tuning advanced delivery capabilities to meet the requirements of
each specific application
• Separating and isolating application delivery services along different
organizational boundaries
