Configuring the connection broker—Citrix

In a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environment, a connection broker is a software entity that enables you to connect to an available desktop. The connection broker facilitates the VDI environment to securely and efficiently manage the centrally hosted desktop environments. ThinOS 9.0 enables you to configure the Citrix connection broker for accessing Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops.

Citrix offers a complete virtualization solution, where all applications and resources are deployed on a centralized server, and published to remote devices. In ThinOS 9.0, Citrix Receiver is replaced by Citrix Workspace app. Citrix Workspace app, a client software released by Citrix, enables you to access all your virtual apps, desktops, and other Citrix products from a single workspace UI. For more information about Citrix Workspace App, see the Citrix documentation at docs.citrix.com.
