Kickstarter Citrix on Azure: 5 day PoC

As a specialist in the area of End User Computing Orange Business has developed a comprehensive toolkit and best practices for Citrix Cloud deployments.

Evaluating cloud desktops or applications within a limited timeframe can be challenging without prior hands-on experience and technical skills related to deploying the infrastructure. Making the correct technical decisions and applying the correct configuration is critical.
