It could be that the full virtual desktop, even for just a few of your users, makes better sense for where your organization is at this time. You may not be aware that this option exists, but there are many benefits for you to switch your current on-premise Citrix environment over to a Cloud-based Citrix on Azure environment instead.

Your organization has undergone some significant changes since you implemented XenApp 6. You need to make a big decision about your next steps, not just from what you need now, but also what your organization is going to need in the future. And, if you move to a Cloud-based environment like XenApp 7.
Need some help? Still have questions about your options? Another change to the install process is that there is no configuration required during installation. This makes the install of each of the roles very simple. Once the installation is completed, the administrator is prompted to configure each of the roles.
One challenge for Citrix administrators over the years has been the need for different consoles for many of the Citrix management tasks. In XenApp 6. With one console, you can now manage hundreds of servers and applications in a Citrix Server Farm. Worker Groups allow you to manage all servers within an App Silo as one object. This allows you to publish applications and set policies with a Worker Group rather than individual servers, making managing complex real-world Citrix environment much easier.
Another benefit of Worker Groups is the ability to perform Load Balancing between geographical locations or direct users to the XenApp servers closest to their current location. New in XenApp 6. For example, you can look at XenApp 6. Merchandising Server allows administrators to centrally deploy and update Citrix clients.
Merchandising Server is a virtual appliance that is free to download and import within XenServer. Many of you have probably heard of HDX. It is short for High Definition Experience and represents a host of technologies more than 60 that allow the user experience to be the best ever when connecting to hosted desktops or applications. Provisioning Server is a technology that allows Citrix administrators to create a single master virtual disk vDisk and then connect multiple desktops or servers to that vDisk, all of which boot simultaneously.
With XenApp, we can leverage this technology to keep all of the Application Servers in a Citrix Farm consistent with the same applications, hotfixes, and patches. This ensures that users receive the same experience regardless of which server they are load-balanced to. With this technology, administrators can now update many servers by updating a single vDisk, making administering large server farms much simpler.
In previous versions of Citrix, QoS Quality of Service was difficult with the ICA protocol because the various channels all flowed within the port or when using session reliability.
If QoS were enabled, it would prioritize all types of ICA traffic graphics, keyboard, mouse, audio, printing, clipboard, drive mapping, etc. MultiStream ICA Protocol splits virtual desktop traffic into 5 streams - real time, interactive, background, bulk, and RTP Voice - to enable network administrators to prioritize traffic by type and maintain QoS with existing network tools.
In previous versions of XenApp, if you wanted to give the Help Desk and other associates within your company administrative access to Citrix, you only had the option of giving them access to the same consoles you, as an Administrator, use.
These consoles were notorious for being somewhat complex, and they required some training for new associates. With the introduction of XenApp 6.
Desktop Director is a web-based dashboard and console that allows Help Desk and other support staff to manage and monitor XenApp sessions. This collection of features improves the user experience by eliminating delays when launching and maintaining sessions.
