![]() ![]() If you’re expecting high video call volumes, I strongly recommend choosing a UC solution that has been optimized for workspace virtualization. Generic HDX RealTime technologies (see CTX133024 and CTX132764) provide a fallback when client-side media processing is not possible. The goal of optimized delivery is to off-load the XenApp/XenDesktop server whenever possible, especially for video processing, since that is CPU intensive. To recap (and update) the key points from my July 2012 post on softphone delivery and the whitepaper “Unified Communications with XenApp and XenDesktop: Solution Overview”, Citrix supports two complementary approaches for delivering UC apps, “optimized” and “generic”, just as we do for video playback / multimedia streaming. Could our architects come up with a “v2” architecture that would bring together the best of both earlier solutions while eliminating their shortcomings? Optimized and Generic delivery The basic architectural concept of “optimized” delivery, namely offloading of media processing to the user device whenever possible, had been proven by the two first-generation solutions, but each of those solutions had strengths and weaknesses. Joint story from both vendors on roadmap and support.Support for a broad range of devices and OS.Maximum XenApp/XenDesktop server scalability.Uncompromised quality of voice and video.Comprehensive functionality, including audio-video and telephony features, when the Skype for Business client is hosted on Citrix XenApp or XenDesktop. ![]() Learning from field experience with two “v1” solutions for optimized delivery of Skype for Business (formerly Lync) in a virtualized workspace environment, Microsoft and Citrix got together in January 2015 to brainstorm on how to better meet the needs of our mutual customers and quickly focused on the following joint goals: NetScaler Application Delivery ManagementĪ highlight of today’s Technical Keynote at our Citrix Summit partner conference in Las Vegas was the unveiling by Brad Anderson, Microsoft Corporate VP, and our own Bill Burley, Citrix Corporate VP and Acting GM, of a year-long collaboration between our companies that has now culminated in the 2.0 release of the XenApp/XenDesktop HDX RealTime Optimization Pack for Microsoft Skype® for Business.NetScaler App Delivery and Security Service. ![]()
