Solving Every Day Citrix Issues

We encounter a wide variety of issues when solving our clients’ security headaches.
However, across all industries and company sizes a few stand out as repeat offenders. Do these ring a bell?
citrix infrastructure upgrade

Infrastructure Upgrade

Clients who need to upgrade their infrastructure will often face complex challenges getting Citrix running as intended. The application must be supported by an extremely stable backend in order to work.
poor citrix end user experience

Poor End User Experience

An unsatisfying Citrix experience can stem from many factors external to the app itself. Issues with Citrix can often be traced to SQL, mass storage, Active Directory, and more.
lack of manpower

Lack of Manpower

IT departments are often stretched thin. Our clients often find themselves without a team large enough to support a Citrix deployment, or with a team that has no native Citrix experience.
incomplete citrix features

Incomplete Features

Commensurate with a lack of manpower, both large and small companies have difficulties realizing the full Citrix feature-set. Small companies can’t afford to train their staff on every feature, whereas large companies may simply overlook the issue.
complex citrix incident resolution

Complex Incident Resolution

Teams often face technical challenges with Citrix due to infrastructure issues, or personnel challenges due to siloed IT departments. No matter the reason, it can be frustrating to find the source of problems amidst a thicket of potential causes.
citrix overload

Citrix Overload

Companies running multiple Citrix servers or many Citrix images will often have implementations that are slow or buggy. This stems from configuration differences between servers, or simply from having an unmanageable number of VMs.

A Look At Our Process

By assuming responsibility for both support and delivery, our Citrix managed services remediates client issues, no matter the source.

Citrix Assessment

  • After a detailed assessment, Whitehat may determine that a remediation approach, using a Deskbloxx appliance to bypass infrastructure, may be warranted. Alternatively, a Citrix managed services approach can make up a skills gap on the client side
program management

Remediation

    • Deskbloxx is a self-contained appliance that contains the components required for Citrix to run well. It doesn’t rely on client infrastructure, meaning that the client can stave off costly upgrades while still enjoying the full suite of Citrix applications.

This approach helps overcome any potential downsides from a smaller or more siloed IT organization. Instead, our team delivers the Citrix implementation and also provides on going control and monitoring.

“I have not had to think about Citrix since Whitehat started managing it.”

External Safeguards

Poor user experiences with Citrix can only be traced directly to the application about 30% of the time. Therefore, Whitehat doesn’t just manage Citrix—we’ll also control and monitor the external factors which affect its performance.
proactive remediation

Proactive Remediation

For maximum usability, Citrix consulting can’t just be reactive—it must be proactive. Whitehat’s advanced monitoring solutions allow us to find and remediate Citrix issues quickly. In fact, 40% of tickets are fixed before the end user realizes there’s an issue.
Flexible Citrix Controls

Flexible Citrix Controls

The extent to which clients can manage their own Citrix implementation is entirely up to them. Clients with internal IT teams may wish to take on some management responsibilities, while others can rest assured that the Whitehat team will keep Citrix running under nearly any eventuality.
