    Citrix IMA vs.

    FMA
    Components and terminology cheat sheet.

    IMA back then

    FMA as it is today

    IMA - Independent Management


    Architecture.

    FMA - Flexcast Management Architecture.

    Farm.

    Site.

    Worker Group.

    Machine Catalog / Delivery Group.

    Worker / Session Host / XenApp server.

    Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA). There is a


    desktop OS VDA as well as a server OS
    VDA, including Linux.

    Data Collector (one per zone).

    Delivery Controller (multiple per Site).

    Zones.

    Site. Zones are no longer optional. When


    segmenting FMA based Sites you will have
    to create multiple Sites. StoreFront has
    additional features to help mitigate this
    shortcoming (at least I think it is).

    Local Host Cache (LHC).

    There is no more LHC, hence the zone


    absence. Connection Leasing is the FMA
    answer to LHC (it is not meant as a
    replacement, I know) or at least its the
    closest thing to it, combined with the
    central Site database. Only works for
    assigned resources, so no pooled desktops
    for example.

    Delivery Services Console / App center.

    Citrix Studio (including StoreFront) and


    Director.

    Published applications.

    Published applications / resources.

    EdgeSight monitoring (optional).

    The EdgeSight products are no longer


    available for XenApp and / or XenDesktop
    7.x customers. Part of the monitoring
    functionality is now built into Citrix
    Studio/Director.

    Application folders.

    Application folders (new feature in 7.6) and


    Tags (all 7.x versions).

    2015 basvankaam.com

    IMA Data store.

    Central Site database (SQL only).

    Load evaluators.

    Load management policies.

    IMA protocol and service.

    Virtual Delivery Agents / TCP.

    Farm Administrators.

    Delegated Site Administration using roles


    and scopes, which are configurable as well.

    Citrix Receiver.

    Citrix X1 Receiver. It will provide one


    interface for both XenApp / XenDesktop as
    well as XenMobile. There is a new HTML5
    based Receiver for web. Including a new
    updated Receiver for Chrome.

    Smart Auditor.

    Session Recording.

    Shadowing users.

    Microsoft Remote Assistance, launched


    from Director.

    USB 2.0.

    USB 3.0. Support for USB 3.0 devices


    needs to be handled by the endpoint where
    the USB device is connected as well as the
    VDA running on XenApp or XenDesktop.
    Use it in combination with latest version of
    Citrix Receiver.

    Session Pre-launch and Session Lingering.

    Session Pre-launch and Session Lingering.


    Both have been re-introduced.

    Power and capacity management.

    Not available as an additional installable


    component. Needs to be managed primarily
    using the PowerShell SDK.

    Webinterface / StoreFront.

    The use of StoreFront is advised. WI will be


    EOM and EOL somewhere mid 2016 and
    no new functionality will be added as of this
    date. WI also lacks certain features to
    enable and configure Failover Sites etc

    Single Sign-on.

    There is no separate Single Sign-On


    component available for XenApp 7.x. This is
    now configured using a combination of

    2015 basvankaam.com

    StoreFront, Receiver and policies.


    List of installed hotfixes.

    Director now includes a new Hotfix


    inventory feature listing all installed
    Hotfixes (as of 7.6).

    Support for Windows Server 2003 and


    2008R2.

    FMA 7.x supports Windows Server 2008


    R2 and Server 2012 R2. Windows Server
    2003 is no longer supported. Both
    operating systems can be combined within
    a single Site. This applies to multiple
    desktop OSs as well.
