In this episode of The Citrix Session, host Andy Whiteside is joined by XenTegra's Bill Sutton (Modern Workspace practice lead) and Charles Anderson (Solutions Architect) to break down Citrix's newly released Virtual Apps and Desktops (CVAD) 2607 Long Term Service Release, using Citrix DaaS team member Sean Bass's blog post as their guide.

The team covers why standing still on an older CVAD release costs organizations more than upgrading, what's actually new in this LTSR, and why most customers are better off moving fully to DaaS rather than maintaining an on-prem control plane. Topics include:

  • LTSR vs. Current Release: the three-year support window, why Andy and Bill recommend waiting for CU1 before adopting a new LTSR, and what you give up by staying on Current Releases
  • A ~14% improvement in protocol/bandwidth efficiency for faster, more responsive sessions
  • Smarter cloud cost management with automated power management for Azure and Google Cloud workloads
  • AI-powered session recording insights that let admins search recordings with natural language instead of watching hours of video
  • New compliance capabilities that enforce app-level security policies down to the endpoint
  • Enhancements to Citrix WEM (Workspace Environment Management) for automated administration and better logon performance visibility
  • HDX Super Resolution, which offloads rendering to client-side GPUs for a better visual experience without adding server-side GPU cost
  • Expanded unified communications support beyond Microsoft Teams and Zoom, including WebEx, Cisco Jabber, and Slack

If you're still running an on-prem Citrix control plane, or you're evaluating whether to upgrade your VDAs to the 2607 LTSR, this episode breaks down what's worth paying attention to and why.
