Configuration guides

This widget provides step-by-step guidance for configuring and managing various aspects of your Citrix deployment:

  • Get started with DaaS. Guides you through a series of questions to help you set up your DaaS deployments. By answering these questions, you can quickly configure your deployments. For more information, see Use DaaS get-started guide.
  • Check resiliency configurations. Guides you through verifying that your Citrix DaaS deployment is properly set up to handle potential disruptions. This guide provides checklists to verify that key components, such as Local Host Cache and Service Continuity, are correctly configured. This verification helps ensure uninterrupted access to apps and desktops during service interruptions. It includes checklists for verifying resiliency settings across various StoreFront deployment types:
    • Checklist for on-premises StoreFront deployments
    • Checklist for Cloud StoreFront deployments
    • Checklist for mixed StoreFront deployments

    Note:

    The resilience checklist isn’t a one-time task. We encourage you to regularly review your resiliency readiness by testing Service Continuity and Local Host Cache. If you have feedback on the checklist, use the feedback icon in the top-right corner of the Home page to share it with us.
