F5 10 LTM APM with XenApp CloudGateway

This depends on what you you need/want to do. If you just want to continue load-balancing functions and not provide remote access, then you can remain on version 10 and load-balance CloudGateway Express/Storefront just fine - it will/should be transparent. If you are interested in leveraging F5 technology for secure remote access into your Citrix environment and using ICA proxy, then APM module is necessary, and we most definitely recommend you be on version 11 for any ICA proxy deployment.

 

 

CloudGateway does not fundamentally change how ICA proxy functionality works - it's just v11 is much more robust/feature-rich version of our ICA proxy solution.

 

 

Also, as a option, you can consider just using APM to replace your Web interface servers and CloudGateway Express as well - yes - you can turn your F5 device into Citrix presentation layer and remove CloudGateway/Web Interface from the infrastructure altogether.
