 < Free Open Study > 



Overview

As an integral part of using any platform, the installation of Citrix MetaFrame XP must be completed correctly and with a proper server farm design to be successful. Understanding the features available with Citrix MetaFrame XP, and how they are affected during the installation is critical to the implementation of any Citrix MetaFrame XP environment.

The first step to deploying Citrix MetaFrame XP starts with a single server. The first server must be implemented correctly as it sets the base for all future installations within a MetaFrame XP server farm. Once this is completed, servers can be added to the farm as necessary to support the requirements of the organization. Options available to automate the installation of additional Citrix MetaFrame XP servers include support for automated installation scripts and server cloning.

Another issue affecting the deployment of Citrix MetaFrame XP is proper server farm design. Items such as data store location and database type, zone layout and locations, and single versus multiple farms must be carefully considered prior to implementing MetaFrame XP. In addition, understanding how MetaFrame XP interacts with previous versions of MetaFrame can be an enormous factor in moving forward with this solution. Connecting clients is yet another factor that must be considered.

Each of these items is discussed in-depth throughout this chapter providing tips and techniques for correctly implementing each aspect. Knowledge of how each of these items are implemented and coexist together will ensure that every Citrix MetaFrame implementation is a success.
