1 1800 ULEARN ( ) CNS-207-2I Implementing Citrix NetScaler 10.5 for App and Desktop Solutions Length 5 days Price $ (inc GST) Overview The objective of Implementing Citrix NetScaler 10.5 for App and Desktop Solutions is to provide the foundational concepts and skills necessary to implement, configure, secure, and monitor a Citrix NetScaler system with NetScaler Gateway in a desktop virtualization environment such as one containing Citrix XenDesktop 7.x or Citrix XenApp, while providing secure application and data access to users. This course is designed specifically for learners who have limited or no previous NetScaler experience. In order to successfully complete this course, learners will have access to hands-on exercises within a virtual lab environment. An optional module on NetScaler SDX appliances is included with reinforcement simulation exercises. This course is based on the Citrix NetScaler 10.5 product, but the skills and fundamental concepts learned are common to earlier product versions. This course includes the Citrix exam which must be taken within six months of completing your course. Please note: Citrix now provide students with electronic courseware for all Citrix authorised training courses. Students who have a confirmed booking will be sent an prior to the course start date, with a link to create an account via before they attend their first day of class. This will ensure they have access to all Citrix authorised training content on day one of their booked Citrix course. Skills Gained Upon successful completion of this course, learners are able to: Identify the capabilities and functionality of the NetScaler Explain basic NetScaler network architecture Obtain, install, and manage NetScaler licenses Identify the capabilities and functionality of NetScaler Gateway Explain how SSL is used to secure the NetScaler Configure authentication for users on the NetScaler Gateway Implement authorization to determine to which resources users have access Configure the NetScaler for high availability Integrate NetScaler Gateway with Storefront or Web Interface to provide remote access for Web, SaaS and mobile apps. Implement load balancing and GSLB on the NetScaler system Customize the NetScaler system for traffic flow and content-specific requirements Configure endpoint analysis to determine the level of access for specific devices Enable access to applications and data for user connections Demonstrate monitoring and reporting through native NetScaler logging tools Configure NetScaler Insight Center to monitor a desktop virtualization environment Employ recommended tools and techniques to troubleshoot common NetScaler network and connectivity issues Identify the unique capabilities and functionality of the NetScaler SDX platform. Identify the networking characteristics of the NetScaler SDX platform. Explain the process of provisioning and administration of NetScaler VPX instances on a NetScaler SDX appliance.
