CCA Citrix Certified Administrator Study Guide: MetaFrame 1.8 (exam 218) (Global Knowledge Certification) Book

The Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) from Citrix Systems lets system administrators give users a way to access practically any Windows application over even the slowest network links. CCA: Citrix Certified Administrator for MetaFrame 1.8 Study Guide helps solidify your knowledge of Citrix technologies as you prepare for the Citrix Certified Administrator (CCA) exam (218). With lots of practice questions and carefully annotated answer keys, plus an exam simulator on CD-ROM, this book will help you fill in the gaps in your on-the-job knowledge and find out what to expect from the exam itself. A typical chapter opens with a discussion of a business goal, such as guaranteeing that users are unaware that certain applications that they use reside on a remote server. Terms and concepts that have to do with the Citrix way of achieving that goal are then introduced. Zooming closer to the mechanisms providing the service, the book walks you through procedures and shows you aspects of the interface you should see ("On the Job" tips are sometimes helpful but sometimes too short to be of any use). Self-test material and bulleted key points for quick review are included. --David Wall, Amazon.com Topics covered: Citrix Certified Administrator exam (218) topics, including all aspects (short of those that interest developers) of the Citrix Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) and the MetaFrame 1.8 distributed computing solution; system setup and administration, including Windows Terminal Server, load balancing, Citrix client software and Web connectivity.Read More
