Customers


• The Citrix Cloud Platform is located in the United States the European Union or Asia Pacific South

• Citrix Cloud Product Services are located around the world

• A customer is “homed” in only one region–Once a geography is chosen, it CANNOT be changed

• A customer can consume Product Services from any geography where the Product Services are available

• Citrix Cloud Console supports English, French, Spanish and German

• Citrix Workspace supports the above as well as Japanese and Simplified Chinese

Choosing a Region


How do we roll out updates?

• Customers are migrated gradually

• Features can be hidden or shown for A/B testing

• Cloud Connectors update 1 at a time

PlatformRelease A

PlatformRelease B

Canary?


Platform Updates

Citrix Cloud Connector

Citrix Cloud Connector• Installs on any domain-joined Windows 2012

R2 machine or Windows 2016 Server• All traffic is outbound to the cloud over

Standard HTTPs Web requests (port 443)• Incoming Messages, from Citrix Cloud to the

connector(s) are then transferred via a Web Socket architecture

• These messages are load balanced across connectors

• Works behind NATs and HTTP proxies• Citrix Cloud Auto-updater keeps Connector

evergreen

Does this address ‘Data Sovereignty’ requirements?

• Citrix does store limited Personal Identifiable Information (PII) such as:–Usernames, business email address, business telephone

• PII is replicated across regions to allow cross-region functionality–PII is stored in line with Citrix Privacy Policy–Use of Azure Active Directory will reduce PII

• Citrix does not Store customer Data unless explicitly requested – i.e. Citrix-Managed ShareFile StorageZones.–This is entirely under the control of the customer

What You Need to Know


• Cliffs notes:–Citrix Cloud goal of 99.5% uptime across all services–Measured across all customers in aggregate–Focused on end-user access to resources

• Does not cover:–Components of the system not managed by Citrix–Failure to follow configuration requirements–Service disruption due to reasons beyond Citrix control

• Citrix Cloud will always talk to your Active Directory through your home geo.

• If your Active Directory domain controllers are far away from your home geo (high network latency), logon performance will be degraded.

• For best performance:–Extend your AD user domains by installing domain controllers into a

location near to your Citrix Cloud home geo. An Azure US region or Azure EU region (depending on the customer) is best.–Create a Citrix Cloud resource location where those AD domain

controllers are located.–Set the “Preferred Resource Location” for those domains to the

resource location you created.

Live Demo


• Manage your global, multi-region XA/XD deployment from a single Citrix Cloud region.

• Use Resource Locations (Zones) to segregate your VDA deployments into regions.

• Use Zone Preference configuration to route users to the right region for their applications.1

• Use Optimal Gateway Routing or the NetScaler Gateway Service to ensure the best performance for applications and data.
