Mastering Citrix® XenDesktop®

Great Read and Great Reference!

This book is a really usefull guide for any IT Pro in charge of building a new Citrix XenDesktop 7.6 farm. This is what I'm doing now for a Cloud Provider and I always have this book on my desk. This book is an All-In-One of many Citrix Guides and it will learn you what you Must Know and must Do to build a real working Citrix infrastructure. Just follow the guide and you will have your Citrix XenDesktop set up like a pro. Really, tested and approved. So... What's missing ? Well I have to say that there is no much help on how to set up SSL communication for your StoreFront servers (would have been nice) and also a small guide on how to set up a mirrored database wich is a MUST DO for a serious architecture would have been also welcome. For the DB, it's in fact and actually quite easy to do but for a Master XenDesktop Book a few pages about SSL and DB Mirroring would have been great. Just that. Note that the book will cover HDX 3D Pro and Virtual GPU, and also App-V wich is a real good surprise.

Mastering XenDesktop is an excellent book. Complete it addresses several topics:First chapter begins talking about the evolution and main characteristics of Xendeskop.Then, well describes details what is the XenDesktop architecture, I found this the best chapter.I also learned to make a XenDesktop design for complex environments, which in my case was where most used in a practical way for my everyday life.The most difficult chapter for me was the part of networks, not the book explain the bad way, it is that this is my weak in it, but the book details very well how XenDesktop works all part of network.Monitoring and Troubleshooting focuses more on how to use correctly the Citrix Director, robust tool that allows the monitoring of the entire environment.Part of the integration with Microsoft App-V, is cool, the book explains well this part, although not a widely used product in the real world.Finally in Chapter 11, we entered on the licensing, where the book shows all the details of the various versions of XenDesktop.Anyway, for those who know the Mastering the PacktPub series, you know we're talking about a book detailed and easy to understand.I will Mastering the certification!
