Citrix® Core Technologies and Architecture |
| Course Status: | Released |
| Course Language: | English |
| Course Duration: | 3 Days |
| Deployment Options: | Instructor-Led - Client-Site or Boot Camp |
| Cost | $1595.00 |
Audience |
| Designed for solution architects, developers, systems integrators and other IT professionals familiar with Citrix products, this three-day course provides students with an in-depth study of Citrix core technologies from an architectural perspective. |
Prerequisites |
| Prerequisites Knowledge of the following is highly recommended for the successful completion
of this course: • Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Server • Citrix® MetaFrame XP™ • ODBC databases |
Course Aim |
| This course is designed for solution architects, developers, systems integrators and other IT
professionals familiar with Citrix products. It provides students with an in-depth study of Citrix core technologies
from an architectural perspective. Students will be required to break down the elements of Citrix technologies,
as well as isolate and describe related communications processes. The topics covered by this course serve as a foundation and prerequisite for the design, integration and methodology courses in the Citrix Certified Integration Architect (CCIA) program. CCIA-certified individuals will use this knowledge to make design and integration decisions when implementing Citrix solutions. |
Certification Preparation: |
| This course will assist in preparing you for exam #610, one component of the CCIA certification. |
Course Objectives |
| Upon completion of this course, a student will be able to: o Outline the benefits of server-based computing and identify key milestones in Citrix and server-based computing histories. o Dissect the core components and processes of a Windows terminal server in context of Citrix MetaFrame®. o List licensing components and processes in a terminal server environment. o Identify key design considerations for terminal services architecture. o Describe the Citrix Independent Management Architecture (IMA) subsystems and communication processes, and define the Citrix IMA Service. o List the major components of a Citrix MetaFrame XP server farm and related architectural and communication processes between and within zones, zone data collectors, the data store and the local host cache. o Identify key design considerations for server farm architecture related to each of the major components. o List the architectural processes and communications for Citrix Load Manager. o Identify key design considerations for the Citrix Load Manager architecture. o Outline the components of Citrix Resource Manager and the process that occurs for updating Citrix Resource Manager metrics. o Outline the components of Citrix Installation Manager and related architectural and communication processes. o Outline the components of Citrix Network Manager, SNMP and related functionality. o Identify key design considerations for Citrix Resource Manager, Citrix Installation Manager and Citrix Network Manager. o Identify printing components and related architectural and communication processes related to network printing, client printing and Independent Computing Architecture (ICA®) printing. o Diagram and describe the communication processes related to driver replication, printer mapping, printer creation, printer importing and the universal print driver. o Identify key design considerations for printing in a Citrix MetaFrame environment. o Identify key components and processes related to ICA technology. o Diagram the architecture and communication processes for server farm access using Win32 clients, Citrix NFuse® Classic, Enterprise Services for NFuse, Citrix Secure Gateway and Citrix NFuse® Elite. o Identify key design considerations for information and application access in a Citrix environment. Instructional Method The course labs consist of group discussion and white board sessions as appropriate to each product and architectural focus. Students will be required to work in teams and share their results with the rest of the class. Students will demonstrate their ability to effectively articulate their knowledge of Citrix architectural components and communications, as well as their recommended design considerations. |
