XenClient and DaaS
• Manage Centrally with Local Execution • Deliver Layered Images Intelligently • Use Device-Native Management
#E2EVC #BRU
• Use of XenClient for secure remote access
• Remote deployment
• Validated Endpoint
• @150 users• 4 types of devices
• Typical delivery time @ 2 hours
#E2EVC #BRU
• Single instance management• (Pretty) suitable for COPE• (Pretty) suitable for BYOD (with
DP)
• Slightly different user experience
• Bandwidth can be cumbersome• PvD useful for small # apps• DaaS - tricky– h/w; multi-tenancy;
multi-domain

Same same, but different

Mirage.. layers..

This is not Virtual Layering
•No HCL•Apps Installed Locally• Full Native Performance

New requirements drove:• Local execution• Centralized
management
• Mirage adopted for 7000 end-points
• Rollout will (should) be 70% complete by end of August (4 months to get there)
• Remote Deployment• 30mins for initial base
image deployment – 12 mins re-image
• Differential Imaging with data de-dupe.
• Used with RES Software suite (could be SCCM, etc.)
• Native as a Service (NaaS)
#E2EVC #BRU
• Single instance management• Suitable for COPE• Suitable for BYOD
• No changes to user experience• Bandwidth requirements low• Can be simply a backup tool• DaaS - native

Should Citrix have bought Wanova – Yes.
Should Citrix have not bought XenClient – No.
