Overview
This section provides an architecture overview and configuration guidance for a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops deployment on APEX Private Cloud and APEX Hybrid Cloud based on VxRail appliances.
The following figure shows the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops on APEX Private Cloud architecture:
The following figure shows the architecture of the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops portions of the validated solution, including the network, compute and graphics, management, and storage layers. This architecture aligns with the Citrix pod architecture and uses Citrix Machine Creation Services (MCS) with a random or non-persistent desktop - that is, virtual desktops are assigned randomly as users connect. When users log off, their changes are discarded, and the desktop is reset to its original state and is available for another user to log in and use.
