Cloud computing is renting resources, like storage space or CPU cycles, on another company’s computers. Cloud Computing is delivering various computing services over the internet. You only pay for what you use. The company providing these services is referred to as a cloud provider. Some example providers are Microsoft, Amazon, and Google.
The cloud provider is responsible for the physical hardware required to execute your work, and for keeping it up-to-date.
Note: In PVS 7.x the registry key that controls the stream process is now under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Citrix\ProvisioningServices\StreamProcess.
Browse to the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Citrix\ProvisioningServices\StreamProcess. Modify or create SkipRIMSForPrivate to appear as DWORD 1.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Citrix\ProvisioningServices\StreamProcess
DWORD: SkipRIMSForPrivate
Value: 1
This change needs to be made on all the PVS servers in the farm, after which the stream service should be restarted on PVS servers. At this point the replication status for the vDisk should only show the PVS servers that locally have the vDisk present on them and not all the PVS servers in the farm.
Citrix came up with a software called BLX using which you can configure netscaler adc features very easily. BLX is software version of ADC that runs on linux machine.
You can download and install this BLX software from citrix and install it in your linux machine and configure it. So far we have seen other editions like MPX, SDX etc.. there the hardware or the virtual machine is dedicated to that particular edition.

An effective design of user profiles can make a significant difference in the performance and manageability of a XenApp environment. Many of the issues commonly seen in large or complex XenApp environments (including slow logon, loss of user settings, profile corruption, and excessive administrative effort) are often the result of sub-optimal user profile designs. A solid design and implementation of user profiles can maintain the integrity of user settings, eliminate issues requiring administrator intervention, and ensure high-performance user logon.

One of the issues I came across recently is, users complained that their VDIs are either not responding on Monday i.e., they just spins for ever or desktop viewer shows up with a gray screen. They have to call helpdesk to reset their VDI. Then they can login and use it till friday. On Monday same issue re-occurs.
I first checked the tasks history on user’s VDI in VMware. I noticed that there are power on events in VMware almost every day.
Steps to resolve certificate issue in Macbook (1) Log in to a Windows installation and use Internet Explorer to browse to the Citrix connection URL.

(2) Open Internet Options from Internet Explorer and got to the “Content” tab and click “Certificates”, select the “Intermediate certification Authorities” tab in the following dialog window.
One of the issues where users might end up in bad mornings is at loading their VDI. If their UPM profile is huge, it takes long time for them to login. In case if we end up a user with long logon time issues, we will first have a look at user’s citrix UPM profile. We have to identify the exact profile folder and rename it or identify huge files in UPM folder and move them to other location.
Issue “The desktop ‘xxxxxx’ is temporarily unavailable due to planned maintenance” error for a xendesktop VDI. Registration state shows registered, but for user it always shows the error.
Solution Login to the desktop as Administrator. Restart the Citrix Personal vDisk Service. In Studio, check if Registration State is registered and PVD State is not failed. If not, reboot the desktop and check both registration and PVD state again and then try to launch the desktop.
