Citrix Synergy coming up…
So next week Citrix Synergy 2012 will be held in Barcelona, I’m scheduled to fly on Sunday in the afternoon and I’ll be joining Remko Weijnen and Ingmar Verheij for some tapa’s when I’ve landed and dropped my stuff of at the hotel (I’m staying in the AC hotel which is near the International Convention Centre of Barcelona (CCIB) btw).

At Citrix Synergy 2011 in Barcelona we had a special session on new features that would be released, one of the features was HDX RealTime Optimization Pack for Microsoft Lync.

The second XenDesktop session had the Optimization pack installed and we could see no spikes in vCPU usage but video/audio quality was impressive!

Citrix: Microsoft Lync stopping machine shutdown/log off
During the last couple of projects I did I noticed that Microsoft Lync would prevent my session to log off normally, either on a Citrix XenApp/XenDestop or normal fat client deployment. Somehow running Lync stopped the logoff process and I would the error “This program is preventing Windows from logging off”:
Citrix: Project Avalon.. Integration is the new innovation!
The last couple of days there is a lot of positive but also some negative commotion in the twittersphere about the announcements made at Citrix Summit/Synergy in SF.
