Duration 5 Days 30 CPD hours This course is intended for This course is recommended for IT Professionals and Consultants. Overview Identify risks and areas for improvement in a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment by assessing relevant information in an existing deployment. Determine core Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops design decisions and align them to business requirements to achieve a practical solution. Design a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops disaster recovery plan and understand different disaster recovery considerations. This advanced 5-day training course teaches the design principles for creating a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops virtualization solution. In this training, you will also learn how to assess existing environments, explore different scenarios, and make design decisions based on business requirements. This course covers the Citrix Consulting approach to design and covers the key design decisions through lectures, lab exercises, and interactive discussions. You will also learn about additional considerations and advanced configurations for multi-location solutions and disaster recovery planning. This training will help you prepare for the Citrix Certified Expert in Virtualization (CCE-V) exam.
