NetScaler for the XenDesktop\XenApp Dummy
I have been working with XenApp since the WinFrame and MetaFrame days. Back then we had to create ALTADDR and NAT entries on the firewall to allow connections from the Internet. Later, we moved into CSG (Citrix Secure Gateway) that allowed only 443 and a single IP address to be exposed to the Internet to access the internal Presentation Server farm.Now, the preferred method is Access ...
Enabling turnkey branch office virtualization
As some of you may remember, during Interop 2011 in Las Vegas there was a pretty cool interoperability lab created around OpenFlow and Software Defined Networking. This lab saw approximately 20 vendors demonstrate various levels of support for OpenFlow, and Citrix was there with XenServer.

Imagine if you had built your XenServer in one location and then transported it to another location where a different IP Addressing scheme was being used. In order to have XenCenter come in contact with ...
Citrix is committed to open source Xen
It seems that somehow when we briefed Paula Rooney at ZDNet on the new Citrix positioning and forthcoming product release of XenServer, we managed to confuse her. Matt Asay appears to have read Paula's blog as verbatim truth and injected further conspiracy theories of his own. So, what should one do when an influential blogger is out by 180 degrees? Difficult, since Paula has been a great ally ...
