My case...<br />
<br />
I write VB software using SQL and use to deliver product via Citrix ($). My software was scaled at 500 users across 3 servers. (80 concurrent). But I fought Printers issues constantly. Citrix did allow easy application deployment. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I swapped to RemoteApp using Server 2008 to save $'s but printer issues continued. So I researched print solutions and purchased one and my world is cheaper and printer problems are non-existent.

We have Citrix Xenapp 6.5 for a farm that is about to grow to host 6500 users. <br />
<br />
We have heard about remote app in Windows 2012R2 Remote has made great progress.<br />
<br />
Since we do not know the new remote app, we would love to hear someone's thoughts (who is not bias) to see which is better from delivery, administration, maintenance, and user experience. &nbsp;Also limitations would be nice.<br />
<br />
<br />
When we talked to Citrix, they said why they Xenapp is better, and when we called MS, they said why MS is better. &nbsp; We just cannot see what the limitations are or which is better.

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
