A Project-based look at Citrix

In a time when we can all pick up a book with sputterings of bits and bytes on technology comes one that actually embraces the processes involved to achieve a successful integration. By no means is this the end all be all of references for a Citrix installation, but then again, does any book? This is a must read for the experienced engineer or project manager who would like to streamline and simplify their processes (and optimization skills)as well as the newbie who wants to begin his implementations right foot forward.

Wish I'd had this book a year ago!

A little over a year ago I was thrown into an WTS/MF1.8 environment knowing little to nothing of Server based computing. My position as consultant with sole responsibility for the NT side of the house required that I get up to speed quickly and without benefit of classes or onsite assistance. Had this book been around, I would have had a much easier time of things. It even covers using Palm Pilots Hot Sync which nearly drove me crazy! The chapters on ASP, planning, deployment, best practices and models are outstanding. I would definately recommend this book to anyone who is delving into Metaframe and Server based computing. Great job guys!Connie Wilson, MCSE, CCA

It is called "The Official Guide" because IT IS the official

This book is a brillant balance of clarity yet a concise overview of how CITRIX products will not only assist but enhance any enterprise. The book assists System Administrators and/or Network Engineers through what will prove to be the wave of the future for all businesses in Reducing Your Network Overhead -RYNO. (Happy customer!) This product will save companies millions of dollars in their network overhead. The time of waste is over!!! No more clutter and bulky terminals, CPU's, etc., as well as the support staff that is needed to service such. This GUIDE clearly demonstrates that companies can save considerably as individual users only require: a monitor, keyboard, network connection and Windows Terminal Services. As CEO of RYNO Technology says "THIN IS IN!" Bulk (waste of your money) is OUT! This book (endorsed by CEO of Citrix) explains how companies information is stored and protected as well as highlights the efficiency that is available in allowing users to be able to access their work desk top from home or anywhere. Telecomuting is greatly enhanced with significant reduction in network overhead costs. Obviously if the CEO of Citrix choose to endorse this book above the others currently available, then those seeking the most up to date and state of the art information on Metaframe by Citrix are best served by this book written by Steve Kaplan and Marc Mangus. After reading the book seek out a Citrix endorsed distributor to see the FUTURE for yourself! It is simply user friendly as well as conservation minded! Less hardware means less overuse or waste of our natural resourses!!! Less hardware means less toxic production waste. The book and the product that it is describing are incredible!!! If you are looking to save time and money while highlighting efficency and security then BUY THIS BOOK!

Recipe for Success with Citrix

I wish this book was available when I went through a Citrix implementation, it would have saved me a great deal of time. I found it very helpful an think that it is a must for anyone considering a similar move. Some of the information contained in the book could only be authored by someone who has experience with this type of product in general and Citrix in particular.
