Incase you don’t know what PowerScale is, here is an overview: PowerScale enables businesses running Citrix workloads in a public cloud to manage their usage and capacity efficiently. Workload machines can be shut down and started on a scheduled basis and also scaled dynamically. The script is self-contained and easy to configure and also produces a static HTML dashboard with historical usag...

Many vendors have released profile disk solutions and since that time there has been a very large amount of people with queries about the kind of storage that’s necessary in order to support user’s profile disks. This blog post will aim to show you a potential solution in a scenario. In general, if you have a Hypervisor cluster with some shared storage you can build a highly available fileserv...

Recently i’ve been working on a project where the client wanted to seamlessly move users from the traditional 2FA pin code + token code to Azure MFA instead. I said of course that this would be seamless, Citrix ADC and Nfactor would take away all the hassle. So the requirement was simple, the user puts in the samAccountName on the login page, group extraction is performed, dependent on the gro...

Recently I had the idea that it would be cool to build a small lab for demonstrations etc… in a suitcase. I’ve see quite a few people build a 4 node datacenter in a 1/2U rack flight box but I wanted something easily portable that I could take to events etc… and use in presentations. I had a few demo units lying around that I’d use previously and I wanted to make this without really buying any ...

I’ve been working on a project recently where I’m going to be performance testing a new environment. As always in projects, timescales can be compressed due to issue and delays. I’ve worked on automating the performance testing piece so that this can be completed unattended and in a faster space of time. We need to do a few things during the load testing period. Capture XenServer perfor...
