The future of Cws,xenapp and XenDesktop

for some time recently, V The company continues to initiate Citrix The attack, a recent article even put an article brianmadden Blog The back of some of the wire's replies came out to say something, and seemed to want to hit by some irrelevant reader comments Citrix the purpose.

citrix Span style= "FONT-FAMILY:CALIBRI;" >citrix no? It is not known whether these filaments are v company hired. A benign competitive market environment should not be attacked by opponents to reach the top, but should strive to improve the competitiveness of their products to work with rivals to expand the market coverage of the industry. In this way can grow together, this is said to win.

we'll take a look at the gossip . Brian Madden the latest article. Friends don't always like to borrow Brian Madden to hit Citrix , so let's see how Brian Madden is commenting Citrix , the original address is as follows:

Why Citrixworkspace Services are the future of XENAPP and XenDesktop. (And why it ' sawesome!)

as you know, I wrote a blog post last week:written inCitrix Synergyafter, highlighting theCitrixNext-generation products:citrixworkspace Services, we are referred to below asCWS(Please note that thisCWSof theSis aServices, but notSuite, the latter is a product kit, the former isCitrixservices). I wrote in blog post:"we can see this .Citrix Workspace Servicesand the announcements of previous yearsAvalonThe project is still completely different. CWSTheoretically, it can be deployed on any cloud platform, which is far more thanAvalonthe definition". I am very happy to see thatBrian Maddenthat's the same comment.

We extract some Brian Madden the CWS comment on it:

Firs T Ofall, CWS is a big, big deal. It is the future of XENAPP, XenDesktop, and DaaS.

translation: First, CWS is a XenApp , XenDesktop and the DaaS Future, he's very, very great!

CWSthe core isCitrixwill putCitrixdifferent product management platform to move to the cloud, is currently supporting Microsoft'sAzure. Which means you just log in .Azure, you can enterCWSmanagement platform that can be manipulated and configuredCitrixdifferent product Configuration interface, currently included in the product covers theCitrixof mainstream products, includingXenApp,XenDesktop,NetScaler,XenMobile, as wellShareFileand so on. You can passCWSConsole interface to select, control, buy, and connect resources. The resources you can connect to include other public clouds, your own data center, or a partner's data center, of course,IDCRoom is more no problem.

For example, you might want to build a xendesktop Span style= "FONT-FAMILY:CALIBRI;" >CWS cws xenserver On the server, it can also be Amazon aws EC2 virtual machine. For disk image files, it can be generated from your own system or in the cloud. For user personal data, you can put it on your own server, or you can provide a box dropbox "the service form.

It is necessary to note that this form of service is definitely not a XenDesktop put it in Microsoft's Azure the cloud. Yes, you can. XenDesktop virtual machines and personal data files are placed on MS Azure , But you can also have these virtual machines run on your own datacenter.

What good does it do? Let's take a look at an example. In the present case, you have to build good oneXenAppenvironment, you need to first purchase hardware (mainly the server flow), then the installationHypervisor, followed by the installationWindows, the last is the installationXenAppserver. And then not stop, the system you installed, and then you want to installXenAppWhat other components are needed, whatWeb ServerYes, the database, the Management Server, and so on everything else. Then you need to be in a differentCitrixmanage the console to configure the status you want. Until all these steps have been done, you're the one that can be delivered.Xenapp/xendesktopenvironment.

Future in CWS environment, all you need to do is add hardware, install Hypervisor and the Windows , then install a simple in the cloud CWS client can. then you sign in to the CWS Console interface in the cloud and you'll see your new server, and all the configuration is here. It doesn't matter where your XenDesktop run, either in the cloud or in your own data center, or both.

in theCWSthe best feature of the framework is that you run it in your own data centerXenAppenvironment, or running in a managed data center.XenApp, or a cloud-runXenAppenvironment, are exactly the same. If you don't have enough resources in your on-premises data center, you need to do just log in nowCWSConsole Click on the mouse, select fromAzure, or from AmazonAWS, or it can beIBMof theSoftllayer, or any otherCSPenvironment to add resources.

The other one CWS The advantage is that you do not have to consider the physical location of material resources, and even the transfer of resources between different geographic locations is a breeze. In fact, this is the advantage of cloud computing, anytime, anywhere, with any device can access the resources you want to access.

Next, we can see . Brian the DaaS 's opinion.

CWS is also the future of DaaS

When Gabe and I wrote Ourbook about DaaS a few months ago, we really focused on the fact that daasis nothing more than VDI that is pay for as a service. We also wrote severalarticles about what Citrix needs a DaaS strategy that's better than Theircurrent, "Well, we have VDI p Roducts which our partners can use to Deliverdaas offerings. " We even wrote that Citrix should buy a huge DaaS Providerso they can enter the DaaS market directly.

After seeing the Cwsprototype, I had completely changed my mind, because building CWS puts citrixin a much better positio N than if they had tried to compete as another "MeToo" DaaS provider.

Thinking about a cwsfuture, you can see that the "DaaS versus VDI" thing doesn ' t matter. CWS doesn ' t care where the servers is that run your desktops. It doesn ' t careabout where the data is, where the gateways was, or where your apps come from. (as an architect-your company, sure, you'll careabout all the standard stuff like making sure your servers AR E near your data,etc. But the CWS platform itself doesn ' t care.)

So there are no "DaaS" per se in CWS. It ' s just "desktops." Get them from Abox in your company. Get them from AWS. Get them from a local CSP. Citrix, Theplatform, and the customers don ' t really care which option to take, or even ifyou mix-and-match or move them a Round as you go.

BrianIt was clear that he thoughtDaaSnothing is to beVDIas a form of service to pay for use. He also thinksCitrixalso need such aDaaSstrategy and even suggestCitrixBuy a homeDaaScompanies (which appear to beVcompany poison not shallow, fortunately seeCWSwoke up). BrianAnd then you see thatCWSthen he completely changed his point of view,CWSfar beyond theDaaSof the concept, greatly ahead ofVThe company was trying to acquire a third-party company and was just ready to enterDaaSthe mundane of the field. At the end of the articleBrianeven think there's no doubtVcompanies will also learnCWSsuch a leading concept.

Let's use Brian A few words to the end of it:

I ' m hugelyexcited about CWS. I Love the future was not to "DaaS Versusvdi" or "on premises versus off." Even though this was stillseveral years away, I feel good about this direction and Citrix's Directionwith CWS.
