About the CXD-202-1: Citrix XenDesktop 5 Administration
This course provides the foundation necessary for administrators to effectively centralize and manage desktops in the datacenter and deliver them as a service to users anywhere. Students will learn how to select a desktop delivery model for each user group based on their needs, build proof-of-concept and production XenDesktop environments, assign virtual desktops to users and customize the user experience through policies. This course also provides instruction on how to build a Provisioning services farm to enable single-image desktop management, and how to host virtual machines on the client device using Citrix XenClient.
Why deliver desktops as a service?
XenDesktop provides a more flexible, people-centric computing experience for users while helping your organization address key business priorities. Easy access to complete virtualized desktops, applications and data from any location, using any device enables more productive and mobile virtual workstyles and inspires innovation throughout the business. Fast, flexible desktop delivery helps IT adapt quickly to business changes and supports workshifting, branch expansion, M&A and other initiatives.
