Citrix Universal Print Server

The Phaser project is already in tech preview and its official name is Citrix Universal Print Server, this new Citrix product will allow us in a scenario where we have a printer server, not having to perform the tedious task of having to install all printer drivers on all our XenApp servers or XenDesktop computers!!!

Citrix Cloud Gateway Express – Citrix Receiver Storefront

As had been suspected… and confirmed it at the Citrix Synergy in Barcelona! Citrix Web Interface will no longer be developed, from now on it will be replaced by Citrix Cloud Gateway, which will have two editions, a free or Express (which will be the one we will see in this doc) and Enterprise. In this document we will install the new interface, which this time has a more attractive design for our users where they will be able to open both applications and desktops, or from a browser, as with Citrix Receiver.

Installing and Configuring VMware SRM 5 with SRA and reprotect

This document is presented as an extension of the previous one where we saw the complete installation and configuration of VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager 5 (SRM 5) with vSphere Replication, In this other document, we'll look at configuring replication using the arrays (we will use HP Lefthands, supported by SRM 5), later we will see another new SRM 5 that after validating a test and performing a planned migration/disaster recovery to the backup data center we will end with a 'reprotect’ rearranging all the machines in the main data center as it was originally.

Install and configure vCenter Site Recovery Manager 5 (SRM 5) with vSphere Replication

In this document, we'll look at the complete installation and configuration of VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager 5 (SRM 5) with one of its new features, vSphere Replication, which will allow us to replicate virtual machines between a primary and secondary data center, not at the array level but thanks to a virtual appliance from the virtualization layer. This replication, cheaper than a cockpit-level replication, since in addition, no SRM-compatible cabs required (using the Storage Replication Adapter – MRS), this replication will be at the block level thanks to CBT (Changed Block Tracking) and will allow us to have the DPC replicated with a maximum loss of 15 minutes!
