Andy Whiteside: 00:00 Hello everyone, and welcome to the second episode of the Citrix session. I'm your host, Andy Whiteside. I have with me bill Sutton, the director of services for his Integra bill. How's it going? Going well. Andy, how about you? I am doing well. We also have with us the art authors of this blog. Kelly and Daniel and Daniel Kelly. How are you guys doing? We're happy to be here. Thanks for having us on guys. As we talked about the idea here is to give people in the world of Citrix, specifically an Avenue for catching up on blogs. And we encourage people to let us know if there are blogs that they would like to have the authors on for us to go through. But Kelly and Daniel are responsible for this blog. This blog was called a new on-prem license server usage insights powered by Citrix cloud. I gotta tell you guys as a guy who's been using Citrix [inaudible] Quality since the late nineties, I needed this for a whole time, either in my own environment or customer environments where has pliancy for the customer in terms of usage and what they own.
Andy Whiteside: 00:51 Oh, this right. And I believe it or not, am extremely excited to talk about Citrix license. I guess we'll; we'll jump into the article. Bill, do you have any, any thoughts before we jump?
Bill Sutton: 00:59 Yeah, sure. I was just going to echo what you said, Andy. I think this is a, you know, as a former consultant and, and an administrator for customers, I, this is a great offering particularly for those enterprises with far-flung or you know, disparate type of environments. Giving them visibility into their license, their licenses, and allowing them to track the usage, but also gives them the opportunity to be able to reallocate where those licenses are. Perhaps not needed in one location but needed, but are needed in another location that makes it a lot more seamless for them to do that.
Andy Whiteside: 01:29 I think it's a great offering. Yeah, that's great. That actually brings a topic to my mind is can they, can they share this information with their, their value-added reseller or their partner in the space? And I guess if I don't ask that later, remind me that I think that speaks really valuable. But Kelly, do you want to give a, just a little background on who you are?

The Citrix Session - Introduction
End-user computing is sophisticated, and we will try to summarize, simplify and have fun discussing it! Join Andy Whiteside, our CEO and Bill Sutton, our Director of Services, while to introduce XenTegra's new series of Podcasts!
Andy Whiteside: 00:00 All right. Well hello everyone. My name is Andy Whiteside and I am going to be hosting, this is our introductory podcast for the Citrix session with me as bill Sutton. Bill Sutton is the director of services, whereas integrity bill is a, a very longterm Citrix guy. A bill. How long have you been in the in the, in the UC business and specifically working with Citrix products
Bill Sutton: 00:20 Since about 1998 starting on when frame one. Dot eight with a couple of customers.
Andy Whiteside: 00:25 Wow. Well that's a, that actually beats me. I started in 99 with a w I guess it would've been when frame, what was probably when frame or Metta frame. Early metal frame days. Yeah, I think I was when frame, which is which ones? The one where it went from being its own product to where it became a bolt onto Microsoft terminal services matter frame. Metal frame. Okay. Yeah.
Bill Sutton: 00:48 When Frank was the one where you got a DVD or CD, I guess it was a CD at the time that contained both the NT three, five, one kernel as well as the wind frame software. All on all bundled together. You just slept it in and installed it and you had a working Citrix environment.
Andy Whiteside: 01:04 Yeah, and that's great. Maybe at some point in this series we'll get to get one of the old citrus guys on to tell us about the whole Microsoft back and forth. They went through to try to, to try to get access to the code and build upon build upon the Microsoft solution, which led to I guess a metal frame from wind frame. Right.
Bill Sutton: 01:22 Yeah, that would be really cool to get kind of an insider's view of that, that that would be an interesting trip down memory lane.
Andy Whiteside: 01:27 I think there's been a lot of that that's happened through the years. A couple of podcasts here and there, but it's been so long that I bet a bet a lot of the guys involved in that or, or maybe not in the business anymore or you know, a lot of the new folks have never heard that story and how, you know, Microsoft and Citrix got together to create this partnership.
Bill Sutton: 01:44 Yeah. Certainly in the EUC space. I would imagine a lot of the folks that are, that are working with the products day to day these days aren't aware of the history and where the various components all came from. You know, the Citrix stack, the Asti HDX FAC versus RDS, you know, where did RDS come from? And Microsoft invented or they get it from Citrix. You and I know the answer, but the interesting to convey that type of information I think to some of the folks who are
Andy Whiteside: 02:10 Well, and I think this part of our conversation here is a good segue into the, a, the concept of this podcast. So you and I and others, we're going to invite others. We're going to go and we're going to look at Citrix blogs that come out on a weekly basis and, and we're going to pick one each show and we're going to dissect that that blog and we're going to figure out what's in it for the community. What's in it for Citrix? You know, what the, what the the writer, the author is trying to get across and we're even going to invite the author and see if they'll join us for this podcast. And
