Planned Retirement of Hosted Apps and Desktops Service

Planned Retirement of Hosted Apps and Desktops Service

Overlap between existing Atria service modules

Atria has two core service modules used for managing Desktops, Applications and associated Resources.  These are known as

  1. “Citrix” Service, (CITRIX) and
  2. “Hosted Apps and Desktops” Service (HAAD)

These service modules cover important use cases for service providers, the overlap in functionality between these two services requires consolidation.  

Due to complexity in implementation, known issues and technologies used in the Hosted Apps and Desktops service, we have decided to officially move to deprecate this service so we can simplify and improve our capabilities for managing desktops, applications and associated resources.  

Going forward, The Citrix service will be rebuilt as the Workspace service, this will be further enhanced and developed to provide a better overall solution.
