The client had reached out to Axiom for a requirement of deploying Citrix infrastructure across Azure cloud and on-premises infrastructure for 4000 end-users.
Axiom, being an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner and a Microsoft Azure and Citrix partner, has been
providing cloud solutions to small and mid-sized businesses for more than 8 years.
It offers multi-tenant desktop virtualization services through Citrix on Azure, Citrix on AWS, Azure WVD, AWS WorkSpaces and AWS AppStream.
Till date, the Axiom team has deployed 100000+ desktops and server VDIs (virtual desktop infrastructure).
The Axiom team implemented the Global Server Load (GSLB) approach of deployment with on-premises Citrix deployment.
The team leveraged automation to deploy and configure the Citrix components which include StoreFront, PVS, Delivery Controller, NetScaler and Director. The entire process included:
• Citrix on Azure deployment
• Virtual desktop agent installations
• Configuring machine catalogs
• Configuring delivery groups
• Publishing applications
Implementation details:
• PowerShell scripts were used to install and configure the client application on virtual machines across the 8 regions.
• Windows PowerShell, Citrix Virtual Apps and Citrix ADC (Application Delivery Controller) are the technologies used.
The solution implemented impacted the client’s end-users such as Clarks, Alshaya, Lumber Liquidate, Travins Perkins, Children’s Place, Doller General, Starbucks, SRG, Under Armor, and Femsa.
The end-users now have high security and with GSLB implemented, can login to the\ remote desktops to their nearest data centers.
