Citrix XenApp Architecture

The Citrix XenApp architecture consists of, at a minimum, the following components:

• Licensing Server – Required for all XenApp deployments.

• Data Store – Database where information is stored, such as configuration information for published applications, users, printers, and servers.

• Data Collector – Maintains information such as license usage, session status, server loads, users connected, and published applications.

• Web Interface – Required when users access applications using the online plug-in or a web browser.

• XML Service and Broker – Intermediary between the web interface and the XenApp servers.

• Application Servers – Hosts the published applications to which users connect.
