RE - INTRODUCING THE CITRIX VDI HANDBOOK: BEST PRACTICES FOR IMPLEMENTING CITRIX VDI & DaaS

The Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Handbook has returned, offering Citrix's comprehensive best practices and guidance. Compiled by a diverse group of experts from Technical Marketing to Professional Services and Product Management, the handbook provides solutions for virtualization and access issues that are both technically robust and practical for organizations grappling with tight deadlines and various challenges.

Citrix has effectively utilized the methodologies, experiences, and best practices outlined in this handbook across numerous desktop virtualization projects within its Professional Services organization. Those who have followed Citrix for some time might recognize the VDI Handbook from previous LTSRs.

Significant updates have been made since the previous edition of the handbook, and with the release of the 2402 LTSR earlier this year, a comprehensive update was necessary. Explore the latest enhancements in the VDI Handbook for a detailed understanding of the new features.

One of the significant updates to the VDI Handbook includes the addition of Citrix DaaS content. The new licensing models now allow customers to utilize Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops alongside Citrix DaaS according to their needs. This integration aims to provide comprehensive guidance on best practices throughout the virtualization ecosystem.

Since the release of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7.6, the solution has evolved significantly. Collaborating with Product Management and the Citrix's Solution Architect team, they have refined their guidance and recommendations to reflect the wealth of experience and product advancements accumulated over the years in supporting customer deployments.

Over the past decade, Citrix technology has evolved significantly. The surge in public cloud deployments reflects customers' desire to leverage the cloud's scalability and flexibility. The VDI Handbook has been revised to include considerations for public cloud in Citrix environments.
