• Virtualization has prepared Enterprise IT workloads to be cloud-ready

• Private clouds are mainly hosting datacenter workloads but rapidly adding desktop and collaboration apps

• Most Enterprises (IT and LOB) are considering leveraging, or are already consuming, Public Cloud services, e.g. Hybrid Cloud Computing

• Future of Enterprise IT is projected to be “Hybrid IT”

What is Cloud Management Platform (CMP)

• Enable IT organizations to build, and manage, private-public-hybrid cloud environments• Adds self-service access, full automation and resource usage tracking

Service Management

Service Optimization

• Orchestration• Policy management & optimization• Abstraction layer to external service provider & resource management tier• Federation

Access Management

• Self-service request interface• Programmable interface• Subscriber management• Identity and access management

• Vendor management• Service catalog• Service model• Service level management

• Availability & performance management• Demand & capacity management• Chargeback/showback, metering, billing• Service provisioning, configuration management

What is Citrix XenDesktop/XenApp Cloud Provisioning


7.5


7.5

Off-PremiseOn-Premise

• Enable Cloud DaaS-based XenDesktop/XenApp Solution- Built on the latest releases of Citrix

XenDesktop/XenApp (XD/XA) v7.5 and Citrix CloudPlatform (CCP) v4.2.1.4/v4.3

- XD/XA 7.5 workloads can be natively provisioned into CCP on or off premises

• Key Business Benefits- On-premise: Lower upfront CAPEX, easier scaling,

more efficient and OPEX-based model

- Off-premise: Elastic, no infrastructure to manage

• Key Technical Benefits- XD-specific workload monitoring in CCP

- App orchestration in XD

- No new consoles or additional training needed

Cloud-Enabled, Simplified, Enhanced Desktop & Application Delivery


Advanced Use Cases Standard Use Cases

Dedicate XD/XA deployments to specific

group or use case

XD/XA deployments across two availability zones for

higher availability

Multiple XD/XA deployments on single

private cloud

Customer-specific use cases & deployments

Multi-tenant mgmt across datacenters while preserving

per-tenant dedicated resources

HA leveraging multiple datacenters for pooled desktops

Billing and chargeback across multiple XD farms

Leverage less expensive local storage for pooled desktops

and get scaled-out architecture

Self-Service Desktops for dev/test use cases needing

custom desktop configurations

Separation of desktop and infrastructure admin tasks

XenDesktop/XenApp Cloud Provisioning with CloudPlatform

Key Use Cases for XenDesktop/XenApp Cloud Provisioning


Mature Complete Product

Customer-proven with over 250+ global production cloud deployments

Complete data center and desktop infrastructure orchestration, provisioning and management

Enables organizations to deliver cloud-native services in days, not weeks or months

Supports both traditional enterprise and cloud-native workloads

Integrated turnkey solution

Powered by Apache CloudStack

Hyper-V – New Hypervisor Support in CloudPlatform


Custom Compute Offering with Dynamic Scaling

Flexible compute offering allows users to specify compute parameters at VM creation time

Admins can define Compute Offering with ‘Custom’ option

Can dynamically scale offeringFrom Custom to Non-custom offering, andFrom Non-custom to Custom offering


VPN Enhancements for VPC

Remote Access VPN

• Remove users can connect to VPC from Windows/Linux/MAC/iOS native VPN Clients using L2TP-over-IPSec

• VPC’s Network ACLs are used control which VMs the remote client can access

Site – Site VPN for VPCs

• Enables customers to deploy applications across multiple DCs

• Supports IPSec VPNs between VPCs as well as VPC and Remote DC


Virtual Router Rolling Upgrades

Minimizes service interruption to users during upgrades

Significantly reduces the application maintenance windows

Gives admin the control over the upgrade sequence of the Virtual Routers- By Infrastructure hierarchy: by cluster, by pod, by zone- By Administrative hierarchy: by tenant/domain


Monitoring Services in Virtual Router

Increased availability of Network Services with Virtual Router monitoring

Service daemons in Virtual Router are monitored and restarted on failures• DHCP, DNS, Load balancer Services are monitored when enabled in the Network Offering• SSH, Webserver daemons on VR are monitored by default regardless of offering

Actions are logged for ease of admin access


Management Server Database High Availability

Support high availability for the DB in a single Master/Slave cluster setup

Using MySQL two-way replication between two DB servers

Static strategy sends all reads/writes to a single DB instead of load balancing

Allows Management Servers to seamlessly transition to a backup DB on DB access failures

Partner Integrations


Cisco UCS integration ArchitectureFeature• Admins can use UCS blades as

hardware resource pool • Pre-defined UCS profiles can be

driven from CloudPlatform UI• Discover UCS blades and profiles

and add them to CloudPlatform’s resource pool

Benefit• Rapid provisioning of guest OS/bare

metal onto UCS from a single console• Agility through streamlined expansion

of cloud resources

Things to Know• Leverages programmability of UCS
