Public Transport Company
Our client hired NorthStar to complete a migration of end-of-life Citrix infrastructure to current release.
Project goal
The goal of this project was to create a new Citrix farm/XenApp 7 running on a mix of Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2012R2 hosts. Windows Server 2016 was to be used for Citrix management and infrastructure servers, and Windows Server 2012R2 hosts for remote desktop servers. All existing applications published on both of the existing server farms had to be migrated to the new farm, accessible by clients running Wyse ThinOS and PCs running Windows 7 and Windows 10.
