In this article by Sunny Jha, the author of the book Mastering XenApp, we are going to implement the Citrix XenApp infrastructure components, which are going to work together to deliver the applications. The components we will be implementing are as follows:
Once you will complete this article, you will be able to understand how to install the Citrix XenApp infrastructure components for the effective delivery of applications.

You must be aware of the fact that Citrix reintroduced Citrix XenApp in the version of Citrix XenApp 7.5 with the new FMA-based architecture, replacing IMA. In this article, we will be setting up different Citrix components so that they can deliver the applications.
As this is the proof of concept, I will be setting up almost all the Citrix components on the single Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 machine, where it is recommended that in the production environment, you should keep the Citrix components such as License Server, Delivery Controller, and StoreFront. These need to be installed on the separate servers to avoid the single point of failure and better performance.
The components that we will be setting up in this article are:
In order to start the installation, we need the Citrix XenApp 7.6 DVD or ISO image. You can always download, from the Citrix website, all you need to have in the MyCitrix account.
Follow these steps:
As described earlier, this is the proof of concept. We will install all the components on single server, but it is recommended to put each component on different server for better performance.
By following these steps, we completed the installation of the Citrix components such as Delivery Controller, Studio, Director, and StoreFront. We also adjusted the firewall ports as per the Citrix XenApp requirement.
In this article, you learned about setting up the Citrix infrastructure components and also how to install Citrix Director, License Server, Citrix Studio, and Citrix Director, and Citrix StoreFront.
