Citrix Cloud XenMobile Service and its Deployment Use Cases

Cloud Service Xenmobile

You are thinking about deploying XenMobile in the Cloud or migrate your on-premise to Citrix Cloud, here after some interesting information and links.

Citrix Cloud XenMobile Service: 

Citrix Cloud is a platform that hosts and administers Citrix services. It connects to your enterprise resources, via the Citrix Cloud Connector, on any cloud or infrastructure you choose. It allows you to create, manage, and deploy workspaces with apps and data to your end-users from a single console.

The Citrix Cloud XenMobile Service, previously called XenMobile Cloud, offers a XenMobile enterprise mobility management (EMM) environment for managing apps and devices as well as users or groups of users. With XenMobile Service, Citrix handles the configuration and maintenance of the infrastructure onsite through the Citrix Cloud Operations group. This separation lets you focus exclusively on the user experience and on managing devices, policies, and apps.

Cloud Connector:

Cloud Connector enables cloud management without requiring any complex networking or infrastructure configuration such as VPNs or IPsec tunnels. Cloud Connector authenticates and encrypts all communication between Citrix Cloud and your resource locations. Cloud Connector establishes connections to Citrix Cloud. Cloud Connector doesn’t accept incoming connections. If you require a micro-VPN, you must use an on-premises NetScaler Gateway with Cloud Connector. Cloud Connector, along with NetScaler Gateway and your servers for Exchange, web apps, Active Directory, and PKI reside in your data center. Mobile devices communicate with XenMobile Service and your on-premises NetScaler Gateway. The following diagram shows the basic architecture when using Cloud Connector with XenMobile Service.
