Summary
A XenApp infrastructure is made by several components: data store, data collectors, XML brokers, license servers, Web Interface servers, and session-host servers. All contribute to the correct working of the solution. In this chapter, you learned how to correctly size them based on your business requirements.
If you need to deploy several session-host servers, you may consider using Citrix Provisioning Services. With this tool, you can create a master image of your server and use it to provision as many servers as you need. Day-by-day management is also made easier; updates, patches, and changes have to be applied to the master image only.
Even if guidelines and best practices exist, nothing is better than a real test. With EdgeSight for Load Testing, Citrix offers a complete test suite to simulate real loads on a XenApp farm.
