Title: Removing road blocks to growth when implementing OnDemand Access


1
Removing road blocks to growth when implementing
On-Demand Access
  • Stephan Glathe, CTO co-founder, enteo Software

2
removing road blocks to growth when implementing
On-Demand Access agenda
  • introducing the road blocks to growth
  • growth dynamics
  • changing business requirements
  • removing road blocks to growth
  • IT administrators requirements
  • solutions
  • live demonstration
  • overview on experiences references

3
introducing the road blocks to growth typical
introduction of a Citrix Access Platform
  • starts typically with project character
  • limited of applications
  • limited of users
  • high user satisfaction
  • rapid ROI
  • with recognition in the organization that the
    project might
  • become a strategic solution
  • grow in applications and users
  • but... be aware of the dynamics of growth!

4
introducing the road blocks to growth dynamics
of growth
  • dynamics
  • of changes increase downtime
  • of applications increase integration efforts
  • of servers increase management effort
  • road blocks
  • adding more staff will not help out

management efforts
road blocked
cloning zone
of users and servers
5
introducing the road blocks to growth changing
business requirements
  • ensure 24x7 availability of business critical
    apps
  • every change means the risk of losing the app or
    having to reboot
  • reduce cost and automate configuration tasks
  • configuring applications for a multi-session
    environment manually or by cookbook approach
    takes a lot of time and causes mistakes
  • fast increase of capacity and dynamic
    configurations
  • on demand management must be flexible and
    independent of hardware
  • rapid and complete disaster recovery
  • no time for adapting clone images to different
    hardware/hard disk size
  • keep software configuration documented and in
    sync
  • including order of installation and all the
    small changes

6
removing road blocks to growth when implementing
IT administrators requirements
requirements
simplify server provisioning, software changes
and user profile management
1
reduce risks and document software and
configuration changes on the fly
2
apply changes without after hours work in 24 x 7
environments
3
enable hardware independent disaster recovery and
On-Demand Management

removing road blocks to growth solution
solution
  • simplified server provisioning. software changes
    and user profile management
  • simple packaging and configuration integrated
    with deployment
  • ready to use packages for OS and Citrix
    Presentation Server
  • automated farm configuration import
  • automated application publishing and farm
    join/unjoin
  • automatic adaptation of packaged software for the
    Citrix environment
  • automated handling of user and server portions of
    software

  • stops patchwork quilt of tools needed to manage
    different aspects
  • simplifies and automates management, saves time
    money
  • ensures rapid ROI for Citrix Access Platform

removing road blocks to growth solution
application
application configuration aspects
solution
user state
  • can be configured, backed-up or migrated

1
configuration changes
  • easy to modify registry, files, NTFS permissions,
    registry permissions, local SAM database
  • individual, automated user specific changes
    (TUS)
  • everything is documented and reproducible

2
patches additional files
  • can be easily added later in the process
  • are linked to the app as components
  • will always be deployed in the same order

3
original setup
  • pcm packaging for MSI and legacy setups
  • will be automatically adapted during installation
    byenteo deployment agent

4
  • every configuration aspect of an application
    using the same solution
  • documented, linked to the application and
    reproducible

9
removing road blocks to growth solution
solution
  • reduce risks and document software and
    configuration changes
  • every piece of configuration or change to
    original setup is self documenting and
    reproducible
  • every change can be validated in identical
    environment before rollout
  • identical testing environment can be easily set
    up or rebuild
  • same software package can be used for rich client
    and server
  • conditional statements inside the package can be
    used for fine tuning
  • server types are kept in sync on configuration
    and installation orders

  • tested and documented changes lead to more robust
    servers
  • integrated testing saves time

10
removing road blocks to growth solution
solution
  • apply changes without after hours work in 24 x 7
    environments
  • farms are segmented into maintenance groups
  • maintenance groups have distinct maintenance
    windows
  • installation only happens in maintenance windows
    in staged rollout
  • users are logged off in a user defined staged log
    off procedure
  • servers are automatically taken out of the farm
    during installation
  • after installation, servers are released to
    production in a defined manner

  • leads to 24x7 availability of applications
  • eliminates need for late hours
  • satisfied, informed users

11
removing road blocks to growth solution
solution
  • how to enable hardware independent disaster
    recovery and On-Demand Management
  • software configuration through server roles or
    individual configuration
  • fast drag drop assembly of the server roles
  • software configuration can easily be changed to
    fit usage peaks
  • rapid reinstallation of entire server with a few
    clicks
  • reinstallation of entire server is hardware
    independent through ready to use unattended os
    setup

  • lower support costs and better load management
  • On Demand management for capacity extension and
    role changes
  • hardware independent, complete disaster recovery
    and extension

benefits
  • enteo Management Suite for Citrix
  • no more after hours, night shifts and weekend
    work for configuration
  • reduce support efforts and increase end user
    satisfaction
  • stop patchwork quilt of tools
  • simplify and automate your farm management,
  • save time money
  • ensure 24x7 application availability
  • produce a rapid ROI of Citrix Access Platform
  • seamless management and migration of applications
    from rich client to a Citrix Access Platform

13
removing road blocks to growth how to start
  • if your Citrix Access platform is already
    operational
  • next application updates and security patches are
    right ahead
  • if you have nothing yet
  • why not avoid road blocks from the beginning?
  • install and learn about the enteo Management
    Suite for Citrix within 2 days
  • import your farm information
  • deploy your first updates fully automated through
    maintenance windows
  • install and learn about the enteo Management
    Suite for Citrix within 3 days
  • import OS Citrix sources, package your first
    business critical applications
  • start deploying and maintaining your farm in a
    fully automated way
