For mobile device users, they must get the updated app from their respective app store based on which mobile operating system they are using. Citrix StoreFront is also built with the capability to check the Receiver version and notify users that an update is required.
Both these require the user to be aware of the version they are using, then alerting the Citrix admin to get updated. This is a lot of work. Or, can use any third-party patch management tools to push out the updated software to all devices. Having the Citrix Receiver version data at hand is also useful for troubleshooting. When a user complains of an issue during Citrix connectivity, it is very possible that they are using an old version of Receiver. Without the information on Receiver version, the Citrix admin can spend hours trying to figure out the problem on the server side.
If the Receiver version is known, it can be easily updated to sort out the issue for the end user. This is where eG Enterprise helps! Without requiring you to deploy any agents on all your client devices, eG Enterprise looks across your Citrix Site and automatically discovers the following:. Then, eG Enterprise intelligently encapsulates this information in a comprehensive Citrix Receiver Usage report. Provisioning Services provides desktops to be provisioned and re-provisioned in real time, from a single shared disk image.
It is a characteristic feature of XenDesktop, applying NetBoot to virtual machines while simplifying large-scale deployment and master image management. Since the operation of a virtual desktop is highly dependent on the network, the performance quality of that network becomes very important. Citrix uses HDX as a generic term to refer to functions that, through the proprietary protocol ICA for screen transfers, optimize the handling of peripheral equipment and performance in transmitting content such as audio or video.
With VDI, selecting the location of the virtual machine that the user will access also becomes important. While XenDesktop is software designed to implement virtual desktops, XenApp is software designed for the virtualization of applications. Although, by deploying the entire desktop screen, you can use this similarly to desktop virtualization. The main difference is how the two are configured. With SBC, a single hardware instance can be shared with multiple users, thus enabling higher resource efficiency compared to VDI.
Moreover, since a stand-alone application can be transmitted, in practice there is a lot that can be done with application virtualization. With application virtualization, users can access these same applications regardless of the type of terminal or OS they are using.
Unlike in desktop virtualization, where the application can be accessed once you have logged in through another desktop, with application virtualization you can connect to and use individual applications, thus making user operations much simpler. In other words, the difference between XenDesktop and XenApp lies in whether the object of virtualization is a desktop or an application.
Rather than being a matter of which solution is better, it is more important to select the solution that best fits a particular goal or determine what can be done with a combination of these services. Since the features of both XenDesktop and XenApp are managed with the same architecture, it is possible to implement both solutions and utilize them under a single management system. This compatibility is reflected not only in architecture, but also in licensing; XenDesktop Enterprise and Platinum licenses are both compatible with XenApp.
Thus, rather than viewing these as mutually exclusive solutions, making use of both XenDesktop and XenApp will result in more flexible functionality. At the same time, since multiple configurations are being mixed together, it is also necessary to consider monitoring and operation management software that is compatible with these systems.
XenDesktop and XenApp are both systems with increasingly high demands for promoting information security and telecommuting. However, as mentioned above, such systematic components can be complicated, and are likely to affect system availability and performance.
This in turn will directly affect user productivity. Please confirm with your system administrator that you require an earlier Citrix Receiver before proceeding. Citrix Workspace app requires a backend infrastructure to be correctly configured before you start using it. We recommend that you contact your system administrator or IT help desk.
They have the necessary setup information required to resolve your questions. Citrix Workspace app will automatically replace many previous versions of Citrix Receiver and the Citrix online plug-ins; However, some versions must be removed manually before you can install Citrix Workspace app.
In many cases, you open an appropriate URL in your browser to authenticate to your Citrix digital workspace with all your applications, desktops and data. At times, you may need to configure your account by entering your email or a server address to authenticate with Workspace app to use applications and virtual desktops.
You can ask your system administrator for the steps to follow in your situation. Support resources for system administrators are available on the Product Documentation and Citrix Support website.
Customers with a current technical support agreement can also open a support case with Citrix Support. Contact your system administrator or IT help desk.
