Do you enjoy trivia? I’ll admit that I do. Every few weeks or so I’ll go with friends to a trivia spot at a local bar and indulge in some beer, comfort food, and useless facts. We have fun and every once in a while we’ll actually win a prize. (I think third place is the best we’ve ever done, though.)
Anyhow, here’s a trivia question for you:
What has over 70,000 hits to date and is the go-to Citrix resource for ensuring the job gets done right?
Any thoughts? Well if you said Chuck Norris, you’d be right! Just kidding (although Dan Feller would probably still think so). The correct answer is actually the reference architecture section on Citrix Tech Zone. It’s the No. 1 most visited section in all of Citrix Tech Zone, helping the entire Citrix community to design secure, robust solutions that meet business objectives.
Each quarter, we release new reference architectures and deployment guides while also updating existing ones wherever needed. I’m exceptionally pleased to announce that last quarter (Q3) we released a total of seven new reference architectures and deployment guides across a wide range of products and solutions. And without further delay, here they are:
- Migrating Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops from on-premises to Citrix Cloud — Learn how to migrate your on-premises Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment to Citrix Cloud.
- App Layering — Gain a deep understanding of the Citrix Layering technology that simplifies the image management for VDI and hosted-shared environments, including use cases and technical concepts.
- SD-WAN Multi-Region — Discover the framework, design, and architecture for Citrix SD-WAN multi-region deployment with SD-WAN Orchestrator.
- Implementing Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure — Technical white paper for deploying Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
- Citrix Managed Desktops — Learn about cloud-based desktop-as-a-service offering from Citrix, including key technical concepts, networking, and use cases for different verticals.
- Integrating ServiceNow with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops — Learn how to integrate ServiceNow within your Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment, including key technical concepts and use cases.
- Citrix SD-WAN WANOP for Content Collaboration (Customer-managed on-premises Storage Zones) — Learn about the deployment architecture and how Citrix SD-WAN WANOP helps to optimize Citrix Content Collaboration for customer-managed storage zones, including relevant test data.
Not too bad for a quarter’s work, eh? I want to give a big shout out to all my solution architect colleagues owning and delivering these great pieces of technical collateral. Awesome job guys! I’m very fortunate to be among such talented rock stars. I also want to thank Martin Zugec, the creator and owner of Citrix Tech Zone, for all of his continued support.
Creating the content is only part of the overall picture, however. We need YOU to tell us what’s helpful and what needs improving/expanding. Drop us a line in the comments below, comment directly on any of our reference architectures or deployment guides using the “Send Us Your Feedback About This Article” link on the right side or use the Citrix Tech Zone feedback submission form or new article submission form. Thanks in advance for your input!
Then there’s one more thing. If you made it to this part of the blog you apparently have a keen interest in our reference architecture and deployment guide initiative. That’s great! We’re currently running a prioritization survey to help us decide what topics we should create content for during the coming quarters. Please take five minutes to fill out the Citrix Tech Zone Prioritization Survey and let us know your preferences. The results of the survey will have a direct impact on what we work on next.
Well that’s about it for now. Until next time, happy architecting your solutions!
