Citrix XenDesktop 4 SP1 is ready for Burton Group SHVD
Burton Group, a division of Gartner, has developed a criterion for evaluating solutions "Server Hosted Virtual Desktop" (SHVD) and Citrix, with XenDesktop 4 Service Pack 1, is the first product that meets all the basic requirements. But what exactly is Service Pack 1 for Citrix XenDesktop 4?
Burton Group's analysis highlights several key aspects certainly perfectible, but recognizes the work of Citrix in evolving their product to the needs of enterprise customers. First version of XenDesktop analyzed by Burton Group 3 showed major deficiencies:
- Role-based access controls (RBACs) for delegation of administration
- Features log of changes made by administrators
- Support for 3 years for all products in the suite
Citrix is continually updating and evolving the product is now able to respond to these three requirements.
The real problem is that going to the Citrix download site there is no trace of this elusive Service Pack 1 XenDesktop 4!
In fact, your problem is marketing and communications, because selecting the product XenDesktop 4 Feature Pack 1 you get almost everything you need. In fact we need:
- XenDesktop 4
- 4 XenDesktop Virtual Desktop Agent Service Pack 1 (Version 4.0.5010)
- Delegated Administration and Configuration Logging Components - For XenDesktop 4
As regards the support, Citrix has also amended the policy of support to meet the requests highlighted by Burton Group.
