      Implementing Citrix NetScaler 11 for App and Desktop Solutions

      The objective of this course is to provide the foundational concepts and teach the skills necessary to implement, configure, secure and monitor a Citrix NetScaler system with NetScaler Gateway in a desktop virtualization environment.

      This course has been updated based on the latest release of the NetScaler product (NetScaler version 11). As a part of this update, the content has been more heavily focused on the NetScaler Gateway functionality than ever before, and covers significant features introduced in NetScaler version 11.

      This course is designed specifically for students who have limited or no previous NetScaler experience. Students will have access to hands-on exercises within a virtual lab environment. This course is based on the Citrix NetScaler 11 product, but the skills and fundamental concepts learned are common to earlier product versions.
