For the XenApp 6.x people this is comparable with a XenApp Controller Host (aka Data Collector).

Each XenDesktop infrastructure requires at least one Delivery Controller. As described in the introduction you are actually installing the same product, only a different name is shown in the installation window.įigure 1: Choose between XenApp or XenDesktopĪfter choosing which “product” you would like to install, the available options are shown. The installation starts with a screen where you need to choose whether you would like to install XenApp or XenDesktop. I try to use the name XenDesktop 7.6 through the article, but hopefully you understand that you can read XenApp here as well (and if I use XenApp by accident, you can also read XenDesktop).Īlso, if you don’t want to miss my future Citrix tutorials and best practices articles, sign up for updates here! Installation of Delivery Controller In this article I’m going to describe the installation and basic configuration steps for XenApp/XenDesktop 7.6. To explain what XenApp and XenDesktop are becames a bit more complicated, especially because, from a technical standpoint, it’s the same product. With the release of XenApp/XenDesktop 7.6, many features that were available in XenApp 6.5 but not in previous 7.x releases have been introduced again, so the version 7 release is a real XenApp comparable product. The Citrix XenDesktop/XenApp matrix provides a good insight of what the differences between the licenses are. There are only two different license models available one for XenApp and one for XenDesktop. Actually it was bringing back the original product name and will be based on the new FMA architecture. Citrix responded by re-introducing XenApp again in version 7.5. Unfortunate for Citrix the customers did not understand this message and there was lots of confusion around this. With the first release within the 7th version, Citrix announced that the XenApp product was at end of life and the functionality was integrated into XenDesktop 7.0.
