Installing Citrix 7.6 Xenapp from scratch

Hi

I work for a small company that provides hosted cloud IT solutions to a number of SMEs in the local area.  We currently use Windows Server 2012 R2 and Citrix Xenapp 7.6 and the users connect to a server desktop via Wyse Thin Clients.

I have been tasked with setting up a new client from scratch, and although I have some experience, I am a bit stuck as to where to start.  I have installed Citrix on top of a Windows Server environment that already had all the Remote Desktop Services set up so I'm a bit unsure of how it all ties together.

Also, at the back of my mind is, do I really need Citrix for the amount of users we are looking at which is around 30.

Our other clients are basically setup with 3 servers, a Domain Controller, a database backend and a Citrix Server which provides the user with their desktop and applications.

They connect into our own Datacentre via an MPLS network usually over a leased line.

I'm in at the deep end here so any advise or pointers would be really great :)

Thanks
Matthew

you need one server for the terminals-server functions.
at this server (with active "Remote Desktop Services" you install the VDA - the Agent only.
All other services like DesktopDeliveryController (DDC), StoreFront (SF), Director, SQL, ... would be installed at other servers. For small installations this may be the same server for all additional services.
