News | Last year Citrix underwent a project to unify the product portfolio. Yes, this means that names have changed. Check out our cheat sheet to learn the new names. |
Virtual Apps and Desktops | Citrix Tech Zone has a great article on choosing the provisioning model for image management (PVS or MCS?). Check it out if you are curious about the other method or still managing individual VDAs. |
SD-WAN | A new article, "SD-WAN in 2019: The move continues, faster!" on Citrix Blogs |
Virtual Apps and Desktops | Let's talk about the Q1 release--1903. Key features IMO:
|
Citrix Files | I have conversations all the time about the need for ShareFile if you already own OneDrive. It is true there is some overlap but it doesn't mean they are mutually exclusive. "How Citrix and Microsoft Can Help Secure Your Data" (Citrix Blogs) digs into how they can work together. |
Cool | SAML. Have you heard the acronym but do not know much about it? The world of user identity has become more complicated recently. We used to have Microsoft AD and that was the end of it. If you want to integrate SaaS offerings like Office 365, Salesforce, or ShareFile then you will want to get more familiar. Our friends at Duo put it into terms that really helped me out: "The beer drinkers guide to SAML" (Duo Blog). Let me know if you would like to learn more about SAML and how Citrix can make it easy. |

TheAppFactory 1903
This is my monthly update on important things in the world of apps, applications, and micro apps. For me, it has always been all about the apps.

Event May 21 | Save the date for Citrix Synergy 2019 in Atlanta, GA. I promise that we'll be unveiling some really cool stuff. Find out more at www.citrixsynergy.com |
General | Last year Citrix started a project to unify the product portfolio. Yes, this means that names have changed. For example, XenApp is now Citrix Virtual Apps. I wrote an article you can use as a cheat sheet to learn the new names and has some of the background on why. If the product name columns to the left look foreign, then this is your guide. |
Virtual Apps and Desktops | My teammate in the West, Ben, wrote about toggling between a windowed and full-screen mode in your virtual desktop. He also explains how Citrix hotkeys work in a virtual app or desktop (Citrix Blogs) |
SD-WAN | Nearly every Citrix solution requires a decent network connection. Because of that, Citrix SD-WAN is possibly the fastest growing product in the portfolio. Check out this case study on why fishermen in Denmark decided to change the way they deployed their network (ebook). |
Virtual Apps and Desktops | There are three options for keeping your environment on supported versions today: Long Term Service Release, Current Release, or Citrix hosted management plane. The current LTSR came out 6 CRs ago and the list of new features is piling up. How do you decide? Nick Rintalan, Citrix Consulting architect, discusses how to make the decision. Spoiler alert: it is not a technical decision. (Citrix Blogs) |
Endpoint Management | Apple is changed the way iOS manual enrollment works on their devices. This change had an effect on our Endpoint Management (and all other MDM platforms). Read more about this (Citrix Docs). The same page also has information on TLS 1.0 and 1.1 deprecations that also happened on March 15, 2019. |
ShareFile | Did you know that the Cloud Success Center has prerequisite lists, implementation checklists, step-by-step configuration guides, webinars? Read (Citrix Blogs) or jump right into the Cloud Success Center (login required). By the way, ShareFile will be known as Content Collaboration going forward. |
Cool | Federik Brattstig has an insane article on his site (Virtual Brat) describing how he built a rig to combine NVIDIA GRID + VR + Citrix + 90 fps to create what he is calling RemoteVR. |

Technical | Somewhere between Citrix Docs and Blogs lies a new area for technical info, Citrix Tech Zone. A lot went into this new area to get you better technical content faster. Read "Welcome to the World, Citrix Tech Zone (Citrix Blog) to see what makes this area different or just jump right to Citrix Tech Zone @ techzone.citrix.com. |
General | It is hard to do a lot of things in the Citrix world without an account. I wrote a quick post on (SageLike.com) discussing how to do some basic things. I am trying to make things easier but can only experience the Citrix portal as an employee. I would appreciate any feedback on if this helps or what else I could add. |
ADC | Have you heard of the Citrix Gateway service? Think of it as an alternative to running your own |
Virtual Apps and Desktops | Check out the new Virtual Apps and Desktops posters. I use them almost daily to explain architecture or data flow. Virtual Apps and Desktops poster (virtualfeller.com). Virtual Apps and Desktops subscription poster (virtualfeller.com). Workspace poster (virtualfeller.com) |
Cool | Vector uses Citrix to launch a business in space (Bloomberg). Check out their infrastructure stack (galacticsky.net). |

Solution Enhancement |
Virtual Apps and Desktops 7.15 LTSR Cumulative Update 3 (CU3) was released on 10/29/2018 and it has lots of tiny fixes in it. See Citrix Docs for more information. |
Solution Enhancement |
Did you know that Citrix has an SD-WAN solution? It makes sense if you start with the fact that virtually all of our products rely on a network connection. Check out why our customers are using it to connect to Azure and AWS in this Citrix Blog |
Solution Enhancement |
You may have noticed that some products have started using version numbers like 1811. By the end of the year, all solutions will start following that convention. The format is YearYearMonthMonth. |
Security | Citrix launched the Trust Center (www.citrix.com/trust) a few weeks ago. This is a public site that focuses on security and compliance. While there is already a good amount of information on this site, it will be expanding to cover more details of the growing SaaS offerings. |
