Who: Citrix consulting and sE created and presents the content, just the facts!
Why do we put together workshops?
* Talking with clients, we realized that many deployments tray once they have reached 0-500 or 1000 workstations or never take off because IT professionals or business owners just not know they need to know to start a project, define requirements, and / or define success
* customers ask us :.
- Where do I start
- What steps will go through my organization
- Who needs to be on the team
- What is the time value
-? Which users do I virtualize first
- Where can I find help
- What is Citrix's commitment to my success
What Do Citrix
* created a desktop transformation model .. (a web platform) - allowing you gather requirements about your project
* tool describes the project in three phases: assess, design, deploy
Assess how to:
* define your appetite the risk (how much downtime a company can afford to have)
* what is the objective of the business?
* how to define user groups (with automated LakeSide SysTrack software fastback agents)
discusses design considerations:
* Storage Design
* hypervisor design
* Profiles and Database design
[ Deploy:
* How to select a group of test users
* change management - Event notification
* testing, testing, deployment

LakeSide FastTrack SysTrack:
collect information such as:
* When your users are entering the work
* what are the popular applications
* How are the resources tax applications underlying (disk, CPU, RAM)
Sample LakeSide FastTrack Report SysTrack
architecture very similar to EdgeSight
SysTrack "master" server requires R2 SP1
Master uses the SQL Express local data (included w / bits of FastTrack)
"Web services" and "VMP" installed on master (requires IIS, .NET, Silverlight)
agents installed on the "child" systems (MSI format)
agents use a Jet database / local access to store data
agents send ~ 100 kb per day Master server via the port 57632
minimum of 2 weeks and 50 children systems are required for planning functions
had to install SP1 R2 (for master server)
We had to install Silverlight (twice actually, because it comes with an outdated version) on my client machine to look at the URL fasttrack
you have to enter your customer number when installing (or it will not let you go) and also last 4 digits of ID at the first use of URL
SysTrack FastTrack has 3 parts - Master Web services and VMP
SysTrack Master specs - dual core or 2 vCPUs, 4GB of RAM, 40 GB hard drive (VMs are fine)
TCP 57632 is the port it uses to communicate with "child systems"
Agent is the MSI format ... can be pushed with SCCM, etc.
SysTrack "Web services" requires IIS, .NET and Silverlight 3.5 or 4.0
VMP is the third and final component to install (Virtual Machine Planner)
Local Access db jet is used to store information locally on child systems
Agent uses less than 1% CPU and 30-50 MB of memory
functions as a device driver or service without the core components
only 100k storage sent the child to master (default encrypted and highly compressed ... and only a "summary")
AppDNA
* get a test at: http: // www .citrix.com / AppDNA
* analyze application compatibility
* imperative in large environments with many applications where you need to test the interoperability of applications and operating systems, especially as you move an application from XP> Win7> 08 etc.
* Automatic packaging application> obtain App-V sequence when it is done
* review what application compatibility issues have been automatically detected and treated, see what applications the candidates for the move
