Citrix Integration Guide

Turbo enables rapid deployment of virtualized applications on Citrix Virtual Apps (formerly XenApp), providing seamless integration with your existing Citrix infrastructure. This integration allows you to:

  • Deploy applications without modifying base images
  • Run multiple application versions side-by-side
  • Eliminate server silos and consolidate infrastructure
  • Automate application deployment and updates

What you'll learn

  • How to install and configure Turbo on Citrix servers
  • How to deploy applications using the command line interface
  • How to integrate applications with Citrix Studio
  • How to automate deployments using PowerShell scripts
  • How to manage multiple application versions

Prerequisites

  • Citrix Virtual Apps (XenApp) environment
  • Administrative access to Citrix servers
  • Turbo account or organization subscription
  • Network access to Turbo.net Hub

Deployment Options

Turbo offers two methods for deploying applications to Citrix:

Command Line Deployment

The command line approach provides direct control over application deployment and configuration. This method is ideal for:

  • Manual deployment of specific applications
  • Testing and validation
  • Custom deployment configurations
  • Small-scale deployments

Automated Script Deployment

The PowerShell scripts approach enables automated deployment at scale. This method is recommended for:

  • Large-scale deployments
  • Automated application updates
  • Standardized deployment processes
  • Integration with existing automation workflows

Example: Side-by-Side Application Deployment

One of the key benefits of Turbo on Citrix is the ability to run multiple application versions side-by-side on the same server. This eliminates the need for separate silos for different application versions.

Citrix side-by-side IEExample: Multiple versions of Internet Explorer with different Java versions running simultaneously
