Businesses don’t always get sufficient ROI on their Citrix investment, assuming an upgrade will fix all their problems.
Well, I’ve got news for you: updates are not always the solution, in fact they seldom are.
We often see people considering a switch to the latest version of Citrix – which is often expensive and technically complex – when they should be ensuring their environment is properly maintained.
Customers who neglect maintenance will continue to experience the same problems they had previously experienced, post-upgrade. Or they might even get worse.
By maintaining your environment, the time between upgrades will increase, and thus you will save money, resources and hassle.
The only two reasons to upgrade Citrix:
- If your business requirements change and older versions of Citrix don’t support those goals.
- If the version of Citrix is so old it’s no longer has support resources available for troubleshoots.
At Insentra we help prolong the life cycle of your Citrix investment by doing proactive maintenance ensuring your environment is at the correct level from a health, patch and release management perspective as well as for the end user experience.
We execute daily, weekly, monthly, bi-annual and annual environment checks. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be updating the blog to reflect the best practices for each of these endeavours. Stay tuned to find out more about how to keep your Citrix environment in top shape.
