Take control of Patch Tuesday with Citrix AppDNA

July 11, 2017 by Ulrik Christensen Leave a Comment

Citrix AppDNAHow many time have you tried that applications break, when you roll out Microsoft updates. I bet you have lost count. I am not blaming Microsoft for rolling out bad code. There are a lot of reasons why your applications don’t work. With Citrix AppDNA, you can test all updates before your roll them out.

Citrix AppDNA allows you to import your own Windows image with your specific settings and applications.

  1. Create a new machine with all your settings and tweaks.
  2. Install the Import OS tool from Citrix AppDNA
  3. Import your machine OS into Citrix AppDNA
  4. Select which updates to analyse.

Once you are done, you can see which updates that might cause a problem. When you have found workarounds for these updates, you can install them on your machine. Import the OS again and you are ready for the next batch of updates.

Can I use Citrix AppDNA to analyse updates from other vendors?

Yes. You can also test updates from any other ISV. All you have to do is to import the update into Citrix AppDNA and then test it up against your image.

You can save a lot of time with Citrix AppDNA because you do not need to test updates by hand. If you take the easy path and just roll out all the updates without testing, you will get calls to your helpdesk. With Citrix AppDNA you can test your update automatically and then know which updates you need to hold back and find a workaround for.

Citrix AppDNA is available for customers with Citrix XenApp / XenDesktop Platinum Licenses and can be downloaded from citrix.com.

Windows 10 Migration as a Success

March 22, 2016 by Ulrik Christensen Leave a Comment

In these days, many are looking into upgrading their Windows platform to Windows 10. For many companies, a Windows 10 migration this is a very hard task. Upgrading Windows is not the hard part. But testing all the Windows applications is. I have worked with companies that had over 1000 applications. Sometimes even more. Each and one application needs to be tested and that is for most of IT organisation an overwhelming task. All companies also have applications that needs a different platform or maybe they can’t even coexist on the operating system.

How to get started with Windows 10 migration

Introducing Citrix AppDNA for companies that are looking into a Windows 10 migration will really help them to get started and get to the goal a lot faster. With AppDNA you can cut cost and time used with up to 90%. With Citrix AppDNA you are able analyse all your applications and get information which applications that are ready to get installed on Windows 10 and which ones that you need to test or even replace.

Not all applications can be replaced. The reason is that these applications are core business applications. The solution for these applications is to host them on a Citrix XenApp solution. With a Citrix XenApp solution, you can present the application from an older version of Windows to the Windows 10 machine. So you separate the application and the Windows 10.

If you want to hear more about how to get your business up to date on the latest Windows 10, you are more than welcome to contact me.
