The Real Citrix CCA Exam Preparation Kit: Prepare for XenApp 5.0
672 pages | PDF | 5 Mb

The Citrix Certified Administrator (CCA) credential is the first tier of Citrix certification. The CCA is most often sought out by IT professionals whose networks employ Citrix virtualization technology, and for those IT professionals who are seeking a broad base of general network expertise. The number of CCAs is estimated at between 65 and 70K, up from 45,000 in 2003.

Citrix recently released a new version of its most popular product, XenApp (formerly Presentation Server). This new version is fully compatible with Windows Server 2008. To retain their CCA credential, all current CCAs will need to upgrade to the new software. This will be particularly important to those companies enrolled in Citrix partner programs, as current certification is a requirement of the program. When packaged with practice exams, this prep kit will offer an affordable, effective solution for CCA certification and re- certification.

*Complete exam-prep package includes full coverage of new XenApp 5.0 objectives
*Authored by a Citrix expert with hundreds of implementations to his credit
*This preparation kit can also be used as a reference guide for administrators who need to integrate XenApp 5.0 with their networks
