Citrix Consulting just posted a new white paper written by Citrix's Nick Rintalan.  This white paper details Nick's five plus years of consulting experience at Citrix and the top 10 items he has learned from doing Citrix consulting assessments. 

This whitepaper highlights the most common risk areas found in customer environments during assessments.  Citrix Consulting has several service offerings within the Analysis Phase of the Citrix Methodology, but the first, and still the most popular service offering today, is the Application Virtualization Assessment (formerly called the Infrastructure Assessment).  Citrix Consulting conducts AVAs or IAs to obtain the business and technical drivers of a project, examine a customer's current or proposed infrastructure, determine requirements for a Citrix implementation and identify potential risk areas.  Typically, the findings of the assessment are used as input in the Design Phase.  While each assessment is unique, Citrix Consulting has found that certain issues persist from customer to customer.  The goal of this document is to identify these common issues, describe why they pose a potential risk to the implementation and provide Citrix best practices and recommendations to overcome them.

Target Audience:
This document is intended for system administrators, architects and engineers that are responsible for designing, implementing, managing or maintaining a Citrix environment. This analysis may also be beneficial to Citrix partners who conduct similar assessments.
