As customers look at virtualizng Xenapp implementations, Citrix is asked why XenServer and XenApp are the best integrated solution. Virtualizing XenApp must go well beyond simple server virtualization as the benefits are limited. To help explain where, why and how XenServer and XenApp integration makes sense, the following set of materials helps develop a business justification from the high-level reference architecture through implementation and design considerations for such a solution.
