Course Overview:
This advanced 5-day training course covers design principles for creating a practical XenApp and XenDesktop virtualization
solution. As part of this training you will assess existing environments and explore different scenarios to link business
requirements to design decisions. This course follows the Citrix Consulting approach to design and covers the key design
decisions through lecture, lab exercises and interactive discussions. You will also learn about additional considerations and
advanced configurations for multi-location solutions and disaster recovery planning. This training will help you prepare for
the Citrix Certified Expert in Virtualization (CCE-V) exam.

What you’ll learn:
• How to assess relevant information in existing
environments in order to identify risks and areas
for improvements in the design
• Core XenApp and XenDesktop design decisions
and how to apply them to business requirements
for a practical solution
• To design a XenApp and XenDesktop disaster
recovery plan and to understand different disaster
recovery strategies
• To design and configure active/active and active/
passive multi-location environments
