Citrix Studio vs Delivery Service Console

In Citrix Delivery Service Console, there is a node for Xenapp Servers, you can see each Xenapp server,  you can also put Xenapp servers in zones or worker groups. I cannot see in Citrix Studio where Xenapp servers node is and if you decide to put servers in worker groups or zones, where can you do that ?

Thank you

Sekar,

You are Close ...
I was saying Delivery Service Console has better Visibility in matters of  how to manage your Farm.
for instance in DSC you can see each Xenapp server on the console and can see which users are having sessions connected on each server. you can see user sessions at the farm level also...

I know Xendesktop 7.6 has another tool call Citrix Director, I am not sure if it has good visibility as DSC does ?
Citrix director is more used for reporting purpose, its very much helpful for fix the user issues.  for more details http://blogs.citrix.com/2014/10/02/whats-new-in-citrix-director-7-6/
Director is all in the customization.

You can run "Insight Appliance" and having Netscaler you simply enable Appflow and point to the Insight Collector.

Then you enable the ICA Metrics in Citrix Policies like ICA Latency, roundtrip, et cetera.

Then you use Powershell to integrate that information into Director console.

Director is simply pulling from the database that is populated with the data from the "Citrix Management Service" aka Edgesight.

Between that and Site Collector data, then Insight Tab, then Custom Search - powerful tool.

Not to mention what you can do with Excel data extracts.

So which tool in Xenapp/Xendesktop 7.6 do you use to display your Xenapp Servers and look at user sessions on each server ?

Citrix Studio uses :
Machine Catalogs (Computers you deliver to end users)
Delivery Groups (user groups that will have access to the delivered machines and the applications)

Xenapp Servers are not displayed on the Citrix Studio

On Delivery Service Console of Xenapp 6.5 you can see the Farm, Xenapp servers, worker groups, zones, and you can see user sessions to each object.

I do not see that on Citrix Studio,
