Mobile Gov 2013 Presentation – Establishing a Mobility Strategy Based on Use-Case Scenarios

I was recently asked to present an session on “Establishing a Mobility Strategy Based on Use-Case Scenarios” at the Mobile Government 2013 convention, sponsored by Public Sector Partners (www.pspinfo.com/mobilegov2013). Below is the description of the session, followed by the YouTube upload and images from the slide deck. Speaker Dane Young (@youngtech), Solutions Architect, Entisys Solutions (www.entisys.com) With the influx of mobility in the workplace, organizations are asking important questions around usage scenarios. What makes the most sense from a usability perspective? Do users need a full Windows virtual desktop from the mobile access solution? Do users need core applications from [...]

Creating a Load Balanced Multi-Node Citrix Receiver StoreFront Server Group for use with Citrix CloudGateway

Installing Citrix NetScaler nCore VPX 9.3 and Access Gateway Enterprise Edition in VMware Workstation for Evaluation Purposes

Several months ago I blogged about installing Access Gateway VPX Express in VMware Workstation. I recently realized that while this post has received numerous hits and comments, a more valuable blog post would focus on installing NetScaler nCore VPX and Access Gateway Enterprise Edition in VMware Workstation! VMware Workstation, or any lab environment for that matter, is the best place for an individual learning or evaluating NetScalers as it is most often isolated or detached from the corporate environment. The approach will be similar to my post on CAG VPX Express, but in the end we will be ready to [...]

Enhanced Access Gateway Enterprise Edition 9.x White Theme for Cleaner Integration with Web Interface 5.4 Design

Citrix Web Interface 5.4 was released in correlation with XenDesktop 5 back in December of 2010. This new release featured a newly redesigned white theme promoting Citrix’s any device campaign. With the switch from white (nFuse) to black (Carbon Fiber) and now back to white (5.4), there can be inconsistencies when used in conjunction with gateway products such as Access Gateway Standard/VPX or Access Gateway Enterprise Edition on Netscaler. This issue is perpetuated if you install as default, utilizing the black carbon fiber Access Gateway Enterprise Edition front-end (default theme on current Netscaler 9.x code) to pass authentication to a [...]
