Subscribe to Citrix DaaS Standard for Azure
Introduction
You can subscribe to Citrix DaaS Standard for Azure (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Standard for Azure service), and order the Citrix Azure Consumption Fund, through Citrix. You can evaluate Citrix DaaS for Azure through Citrix.
A comprehensive order has two parts:
- Citrix DaaS Standard for Azure: Allows you to use your own (customer-managed) Azure subscriptions.
-
Citrix Azure Consumption Fund: Further allows you to use a Citrix Managed Azure subscription, in addition to your own Azure subscriptions. Using a Citrix Managed Azure subscription offers the following benefits:
- Single billing from Citrix, rather than billings from multiple companies.
- Azure subscription feature differences.
- Premium level Microsoft support through Citrix.
The Citrix Azure Consumption Fund isn’t required. However, if you don’t have it, you are restricted to using only your own Azure subscriptions, and you do not receive the other feature benefits.
If you decide to order only Citrix DaaS™ for Azure, you can order the Citrix Azure Consumption Fund later through your Citrix account representative.
