Secure Gateway: A service deployed in the perimeter/DMZ network for situations where users from the outside of the network are trying to access applications hosted on Citrix servers internally Web Interface: A web interface used as a webpage/portal for accessing applications that are hosted on a XenApp server
XenApp Farm: A collection of XenApp servers that are used for sharing applications If a Data collector server were to fail, a new election process would take place to elect a new Data Collector server. These servers are typically elected within a Citrix Farm.
XenApp Application Server: A XenApp server that hosts/shares applications for users to accessĭata Collector Servers: Dedicated servers that are usually deployed in large environments are used for keeping track of server loads, session status, published applications, users connected, and license usage, etc. What are the system requirements for XenApp 6? The system requirements can be found on this page.
Once the user disconnects, the license returns to the pool. What is the Licensing model for XenApp 6? The licensing model works based on the number of concurrent users, for example, if there are 100 licenses, that means you can have a total of 100 concurrent/simultaneous users connected at once. An overview of what’s available with each edition of the product can be found here. What is IMA? Independent Management Architecture is a protocol that is used for Server-to-Server communication to keep track of licensing, load on the servers, user connections, etcįour Editions of XenApp server currently existĮach of the versions above are limited in the number of features it can support with the exception of Platinum version which has all the features enabled. We will cover the ICA protocol in more detail in Part 2 of this series. The ICA protocol operates at the Presentation layer of the OSI model. What is ICA? ICA or Citrix Independent Computing Architecture is a very thin/light protocol that is used by XenApp that was developed by Citrix. What is a Terminal Server? Essential a terminal server is a service that allows for multiple/simultaneous users to connect to a centralized server and run applications. What is Citrix XenApp? XenApp is an application that works on top of what we call TS or Terminal Services to extend the TS functionality.
