[cisco-voip] Agent Desktop with Citrix or VDI ?

[Jeff Ruttman]

We're essentially a Citrix environment, and Agent Desktop works fine on
our Citrix servers.  Initially we were on IPCCx 4 and now we're on UCCx
5 and the agent has worked fine for us with both versions.

We installed the agent as you would any application on a terminal
server, but in every other respect the install is no different than on a
PC.  Install it, run it, and it works.

Thanks
jeff

Trying to find information on virtualizing the Agent Desktop in
Contact Center.  I have seen some Cisco docs say you that Agent
Desktop can work in Citrix. Not really sure how that would work
honestly since the Agent usually has to be on a PC connected to the PC
port of the phone it is controlling.  My understanding of all this is
limited to my experience with IPCCX so maybe enterprise and CTIOS
offers something more.

CTIOS raises another question though, in reading about it I always see
reference to CTI OS Agent Softphone which actually is a softphone and
not the same as what the IPCCX agent does.

We would like to try creating VM's for the call center agents, seems
like the ideal place to do VDI is a call center but not sure how to
handle the Agent software when I have always been under the impression
that the agent has to be physically located off the phone to do the
phone control, which makes me wonder how you can even run this in
Citrix like the docs say?

Any thoughts?  How are others doing this or are they?
