Citrix XenDesktop 7 server roles clarification
Hi All,
I'm seeking clarification for the Citrix XenDesktop 7 server roles that is shown on the below image from the KB Article about HA:
Source: http://support.citrix.com/servlet/KbServlet/download/21773-102-650177/XD%20-%20High%20Availability%20-%20Implementation%20Guide.pdf#page21
What is the Web Interface server ? is it just the web application that publish the login page where the user can type in their credentials and then provided with the Citrix Receiver plugin to open the Desktop OS session ?
I assume that the VIP: 172.16.0.71 is the clustered DDC servers which handles the master image and guest VM delta file changes.
If the BootStrap VIP: 172.16.0.74 is the Clustered Citrix PVS, then what is the TFTP Server clusters VIP: 172.16.0.74 ? is that a typo or are they the MS Active Directory domain controllers with FTP role (IIS installed) ?
What are those servers with the VIP 172.16.0.72 ? are they the clustered StoreFront servers ?
Does the Data Collector VIP: 172.16.0.73 is the licensing server clustered ?
Does the last bit is the clustered XenApp servers.
Any kind of help and suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi basraj,
may I know if I missed any important server roles or must separate some roles in this diagram ?

Many thanks for the clarification, so in this case the minimum requirement is to have the following servers scenario:
DMZ Network: Juniper SSL VPN Gateway - the current method of publishing secure web URL
Internal Network: VMware ESXi 5 - Hypervisor
Internal Network: Windows 7 and XP - Guest OS
DMZ Network: VM1 - StoreFront Server
Internal Network: VM2 - DDC Server Role
Internal Network: VM3 - XenDesktop7 Server
Internal Network: VM4 - ....Generic Windows Server 2008 R2 with TFTP, bootstrap, PVS roles
Optional servers:
Internal Network: VM5 - XenApp Server
Internal Network: VM6 - Data Collector server
is that possible and correct ?
