RDS<\/h2>\n
A MSFT-only solution with multiple goals:<\/p>\n
Two on-prem solutions:<\/p>\n In the cloud:<\/p>\n There are a set of VMs that are ideal for graphics intensive RDS\/Citrix workloads. They use physical NVIDIA GPUs that are presented to the VM directly using Hyper-V DDA (as in WS2016 Hyper-V).<\/p>\n I skip some of the other stuff that is covered in other sessions.<\/p>\n Kiritee from Citrix XenApp\/XenDesktop takes the stage. He\u2019s focused on XenApp Express, a new from-Azure service that will be out in 2017.<\/p>\n XenApp 7.11 has Day 1 support for WS2016:<\/p>\n HDX can be used with N-Series Azure VMs. This includes graphics professionals and designers on \u201csingle user Windows 10 CBB VMs\u201d with multi-monitor NVENC H.264 hardware encoding.<\/p>\n Jitendra of Citrix takes over. He works on XenApp cloud and XenApp Express.<\/p>\n You can extend workloads to Azure, host workloads in Azure, or\u00a0 run on a Citrix-managed service in Azure. In the latter, the management is in Citrix, and your workload runs in Azure. Citrix seamlessly update the management pieces and you just use them without doing upgrades.<\/p>\n These are the Citrix\/Azure offerings today and in the future:<\/p>\n Back to Kireeti.<\/p>\n XenApp Express, out of the Azure Marketplace, will be the successor to Azure RemoteApp.<\/p>\n Citrix Cloud will provide the management \u2013 it\u2019s actually hosted on Azure. You bring your own Windows Server Images into XenApp Express, much like we do with Azure RemoteApp \u2013 it an image with the apps pre-installed.<\/p>\n Bad news: The customer must have RDS CALs with Software Assurance (Volume Licensing, and yes, SA is required for cloud usage) or RDS SALs (SPLA). The cost of Azure Remote included the monthly cost of RDS licensing.<\/p>\n The VMs that are deployed are run in your <\/em>Azure subscription and consume credit\/billing there.<\/p>\n Management is done via another portal in Citrix Cloud. Yes, you\u2019ll need to use Azure Portal and<\/em> the Citrix Cloud portal.<\/p>\n Here is the release timeline. A technical preview will be some time in Q4 of this year.<\/p>\n Next up, a demo, by Jitendra (I think \u2013 we cannot see the presenters in the video). The demo is with a dev build, which will likely change before the tech preview is launched.<\/p>\n Cloud-based VDI using a desktop OS \u2013 not allowed up to now under Windows desktop OS (DESKTOP OS) licensing.<\/p>\n There are \u201cnew licensing changes\u201d to move Windows 10 workloads to Azure. Citrix XenDesktop will be based on this.<\/p>\n Timeline \u2013 GA in Q4 of this year:<\/p>\n Next up, a demo.<\/p>\n That\u2019s all folks!<\/p>\n This post is my set of notes from the session that shows us how Citrix are extending Azure functionality, including the 1st public demo of Citrix Express, which will replace Azure RemoteApp in 2017. The speakers are: Scott Manchester (main presenter), Principal Group Program Manager, Microsoft Jitendra Deshpande, Citrix Kireeti Valicherla, Citrix RDS A MSFT-only … Continue reading “Ignite 2016 – Extend the Microsoft RDS platform in Azure through Citrix solutions”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20048,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_first_post":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[170,58,176,134,188,102,136,137],"class_list":["post-20049","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-eventnotes","tag-azure","tag-citrix","tag-eventnotes","tag-rds","tag-remote-desktop-services","tag-vdi","tag-windows-10","tag-windows-server-2016"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t![\"image\"](\"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/image55.png\" "\\"image\\"")
