Virtual Apps and Desktops - Together at Last

Starting October 28th, Citrix is empowering customers to trade-up their XenApp licenses to XenDesktop 4 for up to 80% less than buying new desktop virtualization licenses. For example, the Trade-up to XenDesktop 4 program allows customers with active Subscription Advantage that trade-up all of their XenApp license to receive two XenDesktop 4 user licenses for each XenApp concurrent user license at a special price.

For XenApp customers thinking about desktop virtualization, this is an extremely attractive offer. It gives them the ultimate flexibility to deliver both applications and desktops as an on-demand service to any user, with a single solution.
This Program provides a simple, risk free transition to desktop virtualization where customers can continue to leverage XenApp licenses, infrastructure, skill sets and best practices to accelerate adoption of desktop virtualization at an unbeatable price.

We have provided three different campaign emails to cover renewal, reinstatement and recovery XenApp customers. These emails are designed to help the partner start the conversation with their customers.
Renewal customers are the most immediate targets for this trade up program as they already have allocated budget to cover SA for another year, the incremental amount that a customer has to pay before June 30, 2010 is miniscule compared to the amount they would have to pay.
In addition, reinstatement and recovery customers have a lot to gain by renewing their SA and then trading up to XenDesktop 4.

In all scenarios trading up 100% of active licenses (with active SA) is the best deal for customers as it provides a 2:1 trade up license.
This kit also contains a series of sales tools under the "Support Materials - Marketing and Sales" category to help sales carry the conversation with their customers.

Citrix Xenapp 6 Advanced w/5 Connections Media


Citrix XenApp 6, is the next generation of the world's most widely-deployed application virtualization solution. The new release of the Citrix flagship product breaks through performance and operating-cost barriers, making application start times up to 10 times faster, dramatically improving user experience and lowering application management costs by more than 25 percent over previous versions. In total, XenApp 6 introduces more than 50 new major enhancements and is the best solution for delivering all Windows applications to both connected and mobile users.

Citrix XenApp (formerly Citrix MetaFrame Server and Citrix Presentation Server) is a remote access/application publishing product that allows people to connect to applications available from central servers. One advantage of publishing applications using XenApp is that it lets people connect to these applications remotely, from their homes, airport Internet kiosks, smart phones, and other devices outside of their corporate networks. From an end-user perspective, users can log in to their corporate network from, for example, an airport kiosk, see all of the applications they would see everyday at work, including Outlook email and any internal applications, and access them from the kiosk in a secure environment.

XenApp Advanced - A solid and proven foundation to instantly and securely deliver Windows applications to users anywhere with maximum performance.

Desktop virtualization with Xendesktop

Desktop virtualization involves encapsulating and delivering either access to an entire information system environment or the environment itself to a remote client device. The client device may use an entirely different hardware architecture than that used by the projected desktop environment, and may also be based upon an entirely different operating system.

The desktop virtualization model allows the use of virtual machines to let multiple network subscribers maintain individualized desktops on a single, centrally located computer or server. The central machine may operate at a residence, business, or data center. Users may be geographically scattered, but all may be connected to the central machine by a local area network, a wide area network, or the public Internet.

Desktop virtualization with Xendesktop

Citrix XenDesktop 2.1 delivers virtual Windows XP or Vista desktops to users, thereby centralizing OS and application management tasks such as OS and application updates and patches while also significantly reducing help desk calls by preventing permanent end user tampering.

Even though XenDesktop 2.1 provides a good desktop virtualization infrastructure platform—aptly doling out clean desktops to users in a snap—my tests at eWEEK Labs showed that desktop virtualization doesn’t fall into the same category of “must-do-now” technology as server virtualization. IT managers shouldn’t be stampeded into thinking that just because “virtualization” appears in a product name that it will provide the same level of hardware or operational savings that the much more familiar server virtualization provides. The main reason: there are a lot more moving parts when it comes to a virtual desktop compared to server virtualization. In addition, aside from the complexity and fast-changing nature of desktops compared to servers, there are the license costs.

XenDesktop Architecture

XenDesktop returns the internal IP address of the Virtual Desktop behind Network Address Translation (NAT) to the Desktop client which is establishing connection from a public network. Therefore, the client’s connection fails to establish a session to the Virtual Desktop.

XenDesktop uses the configured Domain Name Service (DNS) entry on the internal network to return the IP address of the Virtual Desktop.

Follow steps 1-4 in the network diagram bellow.

Citrix Xendesktop challenges VMware

Citrix XenDesktop is a superior choice for desktop or client virtualization by delivering virtual desktops as a service to users anywhere. With Citrix XenDesktop, users can access their virtual desktops and applications across any network and device.

Citrix's XenDesktop broker, Desktop Delivery Controller (DDC) is now bundled with HP bc2200 and bc2800 Blade PC units. Once you have purchased these products you are able to download the DDC software and use the license keys included with each product to enable this broker to be used to connect users between their access devices and their Blade PC. The use of DDC also allows users to connect using ICA with all the advantages that this protocol affords.

Citrix XenDesktop is built on an open architecture to offer customers the choice and flexibility of virtualization platform and endpoint devices. Unlike other client virtualization alternatives, Citrix XenDesktop simplifies desktop management by using a single virtual desktop image to deliver personalized virtual desktops to both virtual (server-hosted VMs) and physical devices (PC blades) in the datacenter and enables IT to manage service levels with built-in performance monitoring.

Citrix XenDesktop is the only virtual client solution that delivers a high definition user experience over any connection - including low-latency access on the local corporate network to virtual desktops and high latency wide area networks for remote desktop access using Citrix HDX technology.
