Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops on-premises migration to Citrix Cloud and Microsoft Azure

Azure Citrix Migration

Today an article I wrote has been released on Citrix TechZone.

Here after more details and link to this article.

Here after is a presentation of all the project steps that will be done.

The best path for the migration is the following:

  • Migrate Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops to Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Service.
  • Optionally migrate WEM to WEM Service (if used).
  • Configure Azure (subscription, resource group, virtual network).
  • Configure Site-to-site connectivity.
  • Migrate servers from on-premises to Azure.
  • Create Citrix Workload on Azure (Hosting, Machine Catalog, Delivery Groups, Applications, Policies).

More details for each steps are provided on Citrix TechZone here.
