As a follow up to our\u00a0previous post, we have some more poll data to share from our Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop 7.x webinar<\/a> in late August. During the webinar we polled the 500+ attendees to find out where they were with the Citrix XA\/XD 7.x rollout.<\/p>\n

Citrix XenApp\/XenDesktop 7.x was first released almost two and half years ago.<\/a>\u00a0But interestingly, we found that many Citrix customers are continuing to run earlier versions of Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop.<\/p>\n

\"eG<\/a><\/p>\n

Citrix XenApp 6.x continues to be popular, with 63%\u00a0still running this version<\/strong>. This number is roughly unchanged from a similar poll we conducted a year ago.\u00a0In our previous\u00a0blog post we reported that Citrix XenApp 7.x deployments have doubled in this same period, but\u00a0this new figure suggests that much of the current XenApp\/XenDesktop 7.x deployment\u00a0is\u00a0concentrated in new farms, rather than upgrades\/migrations from XenApp 6.x.<\/p>\n

Also, while 19%<\/strong> reported having Citrix XenDesktop 5.x running in their infrastructure, a surprising 16%<\/strong> are still running Citrix XenApp 4.x, despite it having reached end of life.<\/p>\n

Considering a migration to\u00a0Citrix XenApp\/XenDesktop\u00a07.x?<\/strong>\u00a0eG Innovations can help:<\/p>\n

eG Enterprise is an invaluable resource to help ensure smooth, successful migrations and new farm launches. Gathering benchmarked performance data from your legacy infrastructure is the best way to know exactly how your new version launch should perform, allowing you to tune your users\u2019 experience before you go live. eG Enterprise makes it easy to eliminate the guesswork.<\/p>\n
