The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

This book is one stop shop for everything related to Citrix Xendesktop. Not only Well structured but covers every aspects of designing and implementing Citrix VDI. Best part of the book is that it gives in depth knowledge on topics like Networking requirements for Citrix VDI, integeration of Citrix and App-v, setting up citrix for Advanced use cases. I will highly recommend of Architects/Administrators who are trying to master their skills in Citrix Xendesktop. Must have book for anyone who deals with Citrix VDI.

This book is a really usefull guide for any IT Pro in charge of building a new Citrix XenDesktop 7.6 farm. This is what I'm doing now for a Cloud Provider and I always have this book on my desk. This book is an All-In-One of many Citrix Guides and it will learn you what you Must Know and must Do to build a real working Citrix infrastructure. Just follow the guide and you will have your Citrix XenDesktop set up like a pro. Really, tested and approved. So... What's missing ? Well I have to say that there is no much help on how to set up SSL communication for your StoreFront servers (would have been nice) and also a small guide on how to set up a mirrored database wich is a MUST DO for a serious architecture would have been also welcome. For the DB, it's in fact and actually quite easy to do but for a Master XenDesktop Book a few pages about SSL and DB Mirroring would have been great. Just that. Note that the book will cover HDX 3D Pro and Virtual GPU, and also App-V wich is a real good surprise.

Mastering XenDesktop is an excellent book. Complete it addresses several topics:First chapter begins talking about the evolution and main characteristics of Xendeskop.Then, well describes details what is the XenDesktop architecture, I found this the best chapter.I also learned to make a XenDesktop design for complex environments, which in my case was where most used in a practical way for my everyday life.The most difficult chapter for me was the part of networks, not the book explain the bad way, it is that this is my weak in it, but the book details very well how XenDesktop works all part of network.Monitoring and Troubleshooting focuses more on how to use correctly the Citrix Director, robust tool that allows the monitoring of the entire environment.Part of the integration with Microsoft App-V, is cool, the book explains well this part, although not a widely used product in the real world.Finally in Chapter 11, we entered on the licensing, where the book shows all the details of the various versions of XenDesktop.Anyway, for those who know the Mastering the PacktPub series, you know we're talking about a book detailed and easy to understand.I will Mastering the certification!

Mastering Citrix XenDesktop is an extremely comprehensive guide to Citrix XenDesktop. The book is targeted at the latest XenDesktop 7.x release but covers features and concepts for major versions right back to Citrix Desktop Server 1.0. If you are looking to implement a Citrix XenDesktop environment and need a learning aid or guide then look no further, this book has everything you need from start to finish. Even if you are a seasoned Citrix XenDesktop/XenApp veteran or simply looking for generic virtual desktop concepts you will learn a thing or two from this book.
