On its own, Citrix Cloud is a powerful tool for business continuity planning (BCP), as well as for reducing administration and lowering infrastructure costs of normal operations. But to maximize cloud benefits, you should also think about the other part of the equation — hosting your Citrix workloads (apps, desktops, data) in a public cloud like Amazon Web Services (AWS) instead of your datacenter.
To help you make the move, we’ve developed our newest cloud training course: CXD-253: Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Service on Amazon Web Services. This two-day course focuses on deploying desktops, apps, and data in AWS. It’s currently offered in instructor-led classroom and virtual formats and will soon be available as an eLearning course.
Key topics include:
- Creating resource locations in AWS
- Connecting Citrix Cloud to these resources
- Cost considerations for provisioning desktops
This course will prepare you to successfully deploy and manage Citrix workloads hosted on AWS, including how to maximize performance and economics. You will also be prepared to take the CC-VAD-AWS certification exam.
Completing Your Cloud Solution
Combining Citrix Cloud with public cloud-hosted workloads gives you the ability to spin up additional virtual resources with speed and flexibility so you can support hundreds or thousands of new remote workers. This is particularly important when a business interruption occurs and you need fast, elastic scalability, secure, and reliable global connectivity and high-performance resource access to move your onsite users to a remote working scenario.
To help smooth the way for your cloud migration, we offer an extensive curriculum of cloud courses featuring the most popular public cloud services — Microsoft Azure and AWS. Choose a longer course that combines adoption of Citrix Cloud services and one of these public clouds, or a shorter course that concentrates on a single aspect.
Insurance Against the Unexpected
Many types of business disruptions — from data breaches to hurricanes — must be managed. Virtually delivering critical business resources from a robust public cloud with practically limitless scalability allows you to meet sudden demands for remote access — and to scale down again when the disruption is over.
Citrix training in cloud technologies gives you the skills and knowledge you need to implement a Citrix Cloud/public cloud solution as insurance against the unexpected.
This course will be available December 21, 2020. Reserve your seat today!
