1.1 The Principles of the Citrix Access Solution

This describes the principles of the Citrix access solution.

Citrix Principles

1. Citrix Principles

Various applications are installed and published on a Citrix server or a server farm

consisting of multiple Citrix servers. The Citrix client uses the independent computing

architecture (ICA) software to communicate with the Citrix server or the server farm. All

the applications are executed on the Citrix server, and all the execution results can be

displayed on a local Citrix client.

As a result, through various networking modes such as WAN, LAN, and Internet, you can

effectively access the applications and data on the Citrix server.

Figure 1-1 Schematic diagram of the Citrix

As shown in Figure 1-1, all applications are installed and executed on the Citrix server orthe server farm, and operation results are displayed on the Citrix client. The networks

between the Citrix server and the Citrix client only transmit the information processed by

the ICA installed on the Citrix client. The transmitted information includes screen

refreshing, keystroke, and mouse movement.

2. Citrix Farm principles

The Citrix supports a server farm consisting of multiple Citrix servers. Figure 1-2 shows

the schematic diagram of a Citrix server farm.

Table 1-1 Advantages of the Citrix networking

Advantage Description

Optimizing the

configuration ofhardware resources

The Citrix client access solution helps you to assign hardware resources

properly.The Citrix client is used only to display system output, and thus a simple

PC configuration is applicable without the following hardware: hard

drive, floppy disk drive, and CD-ROM drive.

Various applications run on the Citrix server. Therefore, you must

assign more hardware resources to the Citrix server to improve system

performance.

Simplifying client

upgrade and

maintenance

The application client software is installed and executed on the Citrix

server. Therefore, you can upgrade the application client only on the

Citrix server. The upgrade greatly reduces the maintenance efforts of

system administrators. In the network management center, system

administrators can quickly perform the following operations on the

applications of each Citrix server: distribution, management,

configuration, upgrade, and technical support.

Enabling the access

through the web

interface

The Citrix client access solution enables you to access the application

through the web interface. On the web interface, the application client

software is embedded or published on an HTML page.

Securing the access

to the server

To ensure the information security for the login to the server, the Citrix

provides the Secure Access Manager software to perform the Secure

Socket Layer (SSL) encryption on the following items: the user

account, password, server IP address, and port number.

You can optimize system resource configuration through the Citrix access solution.

l You need not install the application client on the Citrix client. You only need to install a

Citrix client software of about 6MB in size. The Citrix client invokes the application client

on the Citrix server through the ICA session between the Citrix client and server.

l When the application client is running, it occupies many system resources, and a single

Citrix server allows only limited concurrent accesses. For example, the Citrix server

adopting the HP DL380G5 type can support only a maximum of 20 concurrent accesses.

Therefore, you must install application clients on all the Citrix servers in a server farm.

Through the automatic load balancing mechanism, the access capability of concurrent

clients is enhanced. Thus, more concurrent accesses are permissible.

Networking for the Access of the Application Client to the Citrix Server (SingleServer)

Figure 1-3 shows the logical topology of the Citrix when the application client is accessed to

the Citrix server (single server).

Networking for the Access of the Application Client to Citrix Servers (Farm)

The application client software is installed on the Citrix servers. Multiple Citrix clients

communicate with the application server through the application clients on the Citrix servers.

Multiple Citrix servers form a server farm to jointly provide services and balance load.

Figure 1-5 shows the logical network topology of connecting the application client to the Citrix

servers (server farm).
