Installing of XenDesktop®'s main components
As we saw in the previous chapter, a XenDesktop infrastructure includes many components, and some of them are essential for successfully installing XenDesktop.
In this chapter, we will install and configure the essential elements of XenDesktop, such as:
- Citrix Licensing
- Citrix Delivery Controller
- Citrix Studio
- Citrix Director
- Citrix Storefront
At the end of the installation process, you will be able to install a XenDesktop deployment, as shown here:
When installing the components, you will have to satisfy some of the system requirements. You can find these on the Citrix web page, which can be found at http://support.citrix.com/proddocs/topic/xenapp-xendesktop-75/cds-system-requirements-75.html.
Here you can find a table listing the main requirements and operating systems support:
