Chapter 2. Designing a Citrix® Solution to Fit Your Needs
This is one of the most important chapters in this book. I say this because without proper planning and an assessment of requirements, implementation would imminently fail to meet your business needs, which could lead to financial losses to your company. To avoid this, sufficient time needs to be allocated to building a phased approach, starting with design. The following topics will be covered in this chapter:
- Project planning
- Reference architectures
- Collecting data from existing systems
- Defining boundaries and peripherals
- Analyzing and testing core applications
- Architecting Citrix XenApp and other components
- Real-world examples from the field
