00:00:01.970 --> 00:00:20.229
Bill Sutton: Hello, Hello, everyone, and welcome to another session of the Citrix session, our blog about all things, or our podcast rather about all things. Citrix. My name is Bill Sutton. I'm your host today. I also have with me Todd Smith from Citrix Todd. You want to say hello to our audience.

2
00:00:20.830 --> 00:00:23.773
Todd Smith: Sure. Hey, Bill? And everyone out in Listening Land?

3
00:00:24.430 --> 00:00:30.710
Todd Smith: Glad to be back. This is, I think this is the best for me. It's like 3 weeks in a row. We've been able to to jump on.

4
00:00:30.710 --> 00:00:37.520
Bill Sutton: I know it's last week we had everybody. I think we had everybody including our our guests. If you have.

5
00:00:37.960 --> 00:01:06.689
Bill Sutton: our listeners haven't heard the one from last week that's the one with Citrix and Nutanix. So we had a guest on that, so I encourage you to go back and listen to that. Todd, I've I've had a number of folks recently that I've been on calls with that said Yeah. I listen to your podcast I was at a meeting at a customer. Was it last week? Yeah, last week on Thursday, down in Norfolk, Virginia, and somebody even commented there that yeah, I enjoy listening to the podcast I listen to them on my way to or from work.

6
00:01:07.093 --> 00:01:13.609
Bill Sutton: Forget what she said. So we definitely are getting some traction, though I haven't looked lately to see what the numbers look like.

7
00:01:14.300 --> 00:01:24.080
Todd Smith: Yeah, it's kind of interesting between between podcasts and audio books. I've really stopped listening to the radio unless it's listening to like live baseball games, or.

8
00:01:24.540 --> 00:01:27.609
Todd Smith: you know, some some sports radio talk, but

9
00:01:27.800 --> 00:01:30.889
Todd Smith: it's been. It's been kind of a kind of a

10
00:01:31.300 --> 00:01:40.530
Todd Smith: pretty large shift for me. It's, you know between audio books and and podcasts. You know this is one of those podcasts that I listen to religiously. So.

11
00:01:40.690 --> 00:02:00.350
Bill Sutton: Yeah, I I listen to. That's what I've started doing, too, on my trips down to Huntersville from Richmond. It's about a 4 and a half hour drive. And and I've found myself listening to a variety of podcasts, some that are, you know, directly relevant to our industry and some that are more general. I don't know if you ever heard of the acquired or Acq Podcasts.

12
00:02:00.440 --> 00:02:13.259
Bill Sutton: Those are actually pretty good acquired where they acquired is a couple of guys. I think they're in the were in the financial space that basically take a company like Microsoft or Meta or Google.

13
00:02:13.691 --> 00:02:30.580
Bill Sutton: and they just break it apart and talk about the founding, and and they interview some of the some of the founders, and they talk about how the company got started and how it grew. And it's just fascinating. Quite frankly, they actually did like a 2 part series on Standard Oil of California, going back a century that one.

14
00:02:30.580 --> 00:02:30.910
Todd Smith: Real.

15
00:02:30.910 --> 00:02:41.150
Bill Sutton: You know, talking about the Rockefeller family and the trust, and how that, how, how he got going. So it's a very interesting one. You might want to. It's called acquired just the word.

16
00:02:41.150 --> 00:02:41.790
Todd Smith: Okay.

17
00:02:42.091 --> 00:03:02.290
Bill Sutton: It's it's most of theirs are very long, but they have Acq 2, which is their sister, which is typically just about an hour hour and a half. Most of their acquired podcasts are like 4 to 5 h. So it's a commitment but most of the time. I can listen to them on my drive to Charlotte, which I'll be doing again next week. So.

18
00:03:02.710 --> 00:03:09.229
Todd Smith: Yeah, I've I've become accustomed to listen to it like 1.7 speed.

19
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:10.000
Bill Sutton: Yeah.

20
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:20.509
Todd Smith: Up a little bit, makes it go a little faster. Some of them have been re-listening to, or actually listening to, but I've read the book a couple of times the books, a couple of.

21
00:03:20.510 --> 00:03:20.850
Bill Sutton: I mean.

22
00:03:20.850 --> 00:03:27.380
Todd Smith: That is up Shelby Foote's trilogy on the American Civil War.

23
00:03:27.590 --> 00:03:28.590
Bill Sutton: Oh, wow! Okay.

24
00:03:28.590 --> 00:03:30.509
Todd Smith: I'm through. I'm through a

25
00:03:31.220 --> 00:03:37.360
Todd Smith: volume 2 I'm on. I'm starting up. Volume 3. But that's that's like a 25 h.

26
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:37.930
Bill Sutton: Oh, wow!

27
00:03:37.930 --> 00:03:47.500
Todd Smith: Each one of them. So it takes a little time. But it's going pretty well. And then from a podcast, perspective, I found you know Mike Rowe.

28
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:51.360
Todd Smith: The way the way I heard it. And then also.

29
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:56.660
Todd Smith: Ryan Hawk does one called The Learning Leader, which is really really good.

30
00:03:56.660 --> 00:03:57.429
Bill Sutton: Check that out.

31
00:03:57.650 --> 00:03:58.580
Todd Smith: Brings in

32
00:03:58.810 --> 00:04:06.530
Todd Smith: brings in guests from the industry all kinds of different industries and kind of works through that that leadership perspective so.

33
00:04:06.530 --> 00:04:08.650
Bill Sutton: Right cool.

34
00:04:08.860 --> 00:04:13.999
Bill Sutton: Alright. So today we're gonna cover a blog article, the title of which is

35
00:04:14.290 --> 00:04:23.369
Bill Sutton: What's new. And next, you know what I just realized, Todd, I didn't say what episode this is. Episode 1 81. I just. I knew I was missing.

36
00:04:23.370 --> 00:04:24.779
Todd Smith: Closer to 200. Bill.

37
00:04:24.780 --> 00:04:39.120
Bill Sutton: Getting one more closer to 200. So, yeah, this is episode 1 81 so we're we're shooting for that. That magic 200 number sometime between now and the end of the year. Hopefully, and we got. We got a good chance of making it so.

38
00:04:39.320 --> 00:04:40.339
Todd Smith: I think so.

39
00:04:40.620 --> 00:04:53.770
Bill Sutton: Alright. So back to the blog article it's entitled What's New, and next with Citrix, Q. And a. From our May 2025, Webinar. It's written by Bill Gray, who, I believe, is a CTO with Citrix.

40
00:04:53.770 --> 00:04:59.979
Todd Smith: Yep, he's he's 1 of our ctos that we recently brought in. He's been here for about a year.

41
00:05:00.730 --> 00:05:02.629
Todd Smith: You'll get a chance to see Bill

42
00:05:02.870 --> 00:05:09.394
Todd Smith: present to things like Citrix connect, which is our roadshow, you know. Multi-city roadshow

43
00:05:10.220 --> 00:05:12.169
Todd Smith: And he does an awful lot of

44
00:05:12.400 --> 00:05:21.630
Todd Smith: kind of forward, thinking he and Sean Bass, and we've also hired back Brian or hired Brian Madden.

45
00:05:21.880 --> 00:05:39.203
Todd Smith: Dan fellers coming back. There's a variety of folks that are that are kind of in this role of a field based CTO and and Bill comes to us from the healthcare space. I actually had him as a customer years and years ago, when he was with Cigna. And

46
00:05:39.730 --> 00:05:51.410
Todd Smith: you know, he's always bringing a lot of good insights into not only where we are, but also what's coming down the down the pipe. And you know, I think this this blog

47
00:05:51.530 --> 00:05:58.289
Todd Smith: takes it takes a very interesting perspective and approach towards talking about what's new and what's next.

48
00:05:58.890 --> 00:05:59.430
Bill Sutton: Yep.

49
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:06.031
Bill Sutton: yeah. This is based off of obviously by the title based off a webinar that that Citrix did back in May

50
00:06:06.490 --> 00:06:19.391
Bill Sutton: a month ago or so and it's really just a QA. So we, this is a little bit different for us, because it's really very various topics, and I'll just talk about each major heading and then and then Todd and I can delve into

51
00:06:19.870 --> 00:06:23.679
Bill Sutton: to the various elements there. So start off like I said, this is

52
00:06:23.950 --> 00:06:44.769
Bill Sutton: QA. That, I think was, were questions that were asked and answered during the webinar, and many that perhaps were asked answered later, by virtue of this blog article. So the 1st section deals with the release cadence. And what's included in entitlements? And I don't know about you, Todd, before we get into this, I I still see customers that don't really understand

53
00:06:44.770 --> 00:06:55.480
Bill Sutton: this concept of Uhmc. And Citrix platform, and and even Cpc. For that matter. So maybe give a if you don't mind, give a high level of that for our listeners, for those who may not really understand that.

54
00:06:55.750 --> 00:07:24.030
Todd Smith: Sure. So so if you look back the way we used to license our products was based on which delivery method you're using. So there was an on-prem license model. There was a a cloud based licensing model, and in the cloud based licensing model there was different products available for azure, for Aws for Gcp. And you really could never mix and match those licenses across the different delivery models that are out there.

55
00:07:24.700 --> 00:07:33.930
Todd Smith: So what we did is we introduced universal hybrid multi-cloud, which allows you to have one single license that you could run on prem

56
00:07:34.320 --> 00:07:41.460
Todd Smith: in the cloud, public cloud or private cloud, as well as in a hybrid mode.

57
00:07:41.690 --> 00:07:55.600
Todd Smith: Right? So, not having to go and worry about this license is affiliated with azure. That means I can't take that same license and use it on Prem or in a hybrid approach. What we did with Uhmc is we basically flattened all that out.

58
00:07:55.900 --> 00:08:03.170
Todd Smith: And then we added, in some of the core components that are included in a citrix ecosystem.

59
00:08:03.300 --> 00:08:18.033
Todd Smith: and those core components include not only the apps and desktop capabilities, but the VPN gateway capabilities. So your remote access license, as well as things like Pvs and Mcs and window Workspace.

60
00:08:19.180 --> 00:08:20.300
Todd Smith: environment management.

61
00:08:20.410 --> 00:08:39.759
Todd Smith: right adding in the profile management capabilities. So all of this, all of these individual products kind of got merged into one single skew for the customer to buy that can cover all the different delivery models and include all of the capabilities that they need. Now, we've also added some new

62
00:08:39.940 --> 00:08:52.119
Todd Smith: acquisitions. We've added device Trust. We've added Uber agent. We've added Unicon. Those licenses have also been included into the Uhmc licenses.

63
00:08:53.000 --> 00:09:00.209
Todd Smith: What makes Uhmc different from what we call Cpl. Or our platform license platform license includes

64
00:09:00.430 --> 00:09:16.019
Todd Smith: an unlimited number of connections. So it's think of it as a custom wall to wall purchase. Right? So if I've got X number of users, I can license all of my users as part of as part of a platform license.

65
00:09:16.500 --> 00:09:26.599
Todd Smith: but I can also turn it around and add in some of those corner use cases like, for instance, strong network, or our secure, our secure development workspace.

66
00:09:27.188 --> 00:09:34.510
Todd Smith: We've also added in some some unlimited capabilities as well into it.

67
00:09:35.170 --> 00:09:38.050
Todd Smith: Cpl is more of a negotiated

68
00:09:38.370 --> 00:09:47.640
Todd Smith: pricing model as opposed to Uhmc, which is still based on a a concurrent user or user device model from a licensing perspective.

69
00:09:48.130 --> 00:10:03.529
Todd Smith: And then Citrix. Private Cloud is kind of one of those products that you mentioned it, Bill, that, you know, we're not seeing a lot of traction on it, but we're seeing some customers leverage it mostly on the Smb space. I'm a small midsize business

70
00:10:03.630 --> 00:10:09.019
Todd Smith: cases. We're kind of not seeing a lot of traction there. But

71
00:10:09.470 --> 00:10:14.819
Todd Smith: and the the reason why is because that's traditionally just a virtual app or virtual desktop use case.

72
00:10:14.820 --> 00:10:17.629
Bill Sutton: Yeah, it's mostly on Prem or entirely on Prem.

73
00:10:17.630 --> 00:10:18.260
Bill Sutton: Yes, that's right.

74
00:10:18.590 --> 00:10:48.090
Bill Sutton: Yeah. And we're kind of in the same. But we don't see a lot of that. Really. What we see more of is is customers leveraging the Csp licensing that we can offer them that enables enables fully Uhmc functionality. As opposed to Cpc. If they don't need or want or have any desire for cloud, then a lot of times, Cpc. Is where they go, but that's pretty. I could probably count on one hand the number of Cpc. Deals we've done since it was available. Most folks understand the value of the cloud, and and want to go that direction.

75
00:10:48.280 --> 00:10:48.820
Todd Smith: Good.

76
00:10:49.210 --> 00:11:12.479
Bill Sutton: Yeah, alright. So the again under the 1st section here release cadence. And what's included? The 1st question that's that's posed here is, when is the next? Cbat, Ltsr. And Ltsr, of course, stands for long term service release. The cadence of this, some has changed somewhat. The next version is targeted for 25 0, 7 so that would be this.

77
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:14.539
Todd Smith: July. That's coming right around the corner, Bill.

78
00:11:14.540 --> 00:11:16.129
Bill Sutton: Right around the corner. That's right.

79
00:11:17.420 --> 00:11:31.019
Bill Sutton: So there is an early access release program for this. But those are generally limited to and recommended in non production cases. Maybe maybe we should talk a little bit about the Ltsr concept. And what's changing that, Todd, if you've got that.

80
00:11:31.020 --> 00:11:47.350
Todd Smith: Sure. Yeah. So so a couple of things, right? So we used to do. Ltsrs every couple of years. What we realized when you have a Ltsr, that's A, that's a long term service release, which means we're going to to allow it to be run for

81
00:11:47.450 --> 00:12:10.080
Todd Smith: multiple years and still provide services right? And it's not going to be the same as a current release current releases whatever's new gets added into it. It requires a lot of updates and some testing and things like that. But there's some features that get dropped into the current release that customers were having to wait till the next Ltsr, to get it into

82
00:12:10.692 --> 00:12:15.120
Todd Smith: a long term solution that that only has to get upgraded

83
00:12:15.280 --> 00:12:17.860
Todd Smith: on on a less frequent basis.

84
00:12:18.420 --> 00:12:24.150
Todd Smith: In response to that that request from a lot of customers we came. We came

85
00:12:24.390 --> 00:12:36.169
Todd Smith: with the conclusion that we need to speed up the the frequency of our long term service releases. So with this year, we're starting off on an annual Ltsr.

86
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:42.380
Todd Smith: and then there will be 2 Crs, 2 current releases sprinkled throughout the rest of the year.

87
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:49.859
Todd Smith: The value there is that you're still going to get the event the benefit of the long-term service release. It's still going to be multiple years.

88
00:12:49.980 --> 00:12:53.439
Todd Smith: But we're going to be releasing those on a more frequent basis.

89
00:12:53.820 --> 00:13:09.469
Todd Smith: So what that means is, you're not going to have to wait for, hey? There's a new. There's a new feature or a new function that's been added in here or there was a, you know, a private hot fix that that we're going to have to wait a couple years before it actually gets put into

90
00:13:09.610 --> 00:13:18.769
Todd Smith: a long term acceptable service release. So the big benefit there is that we've we've increased the frequency of Ltsrs

91
00:13:19.340 --> 00:13:24.690
Todd Smith: to allow customers to go on the most recent, you know, updates

92
00:13:25.150 --> 00:13:32.849
Todd Smith: still providing that long term service and support, and then be able to also have that impact on our overall

93
00:13:33.410 --> 00:13:35.547
Todd Smith: release release schedule.

94
00:13:36.390 --> 00:13:43.440
Todd Smith: we do have an updated product, lifecycle lifecycle page directly off citrix.com. So you can actually see

95
00:13:43.630 --> 00:13:49.570
Todd Smith: what our life cycles are going to look like. And this is where it's critical, right? We've got

96
00:13:49.700 --> 00:13:54.450
Todd Smith: a lot of new capabilities that are being put into the product in

97
00:13:54.940 --> 00:14:00.820
Todd Smith: where it fits in. So customers aren't going to have to wait a long period of time to to make use of those.

98
00:14:02.660 --> 00:14:18.580
Bill Sutton: Exactly so again. Say, tell me again. Here I'm pretty pretty sure it's in the next question. The next question on here was, Where can you get more details on the release cadence? And and Todd did a great job just describing that. Well, relative to Ltsr, it's gonna be each year right, either. Q, 2, yeah.

99
00:14:18.580 --> 00:14:22.159
Bill Sutton: It's gonna be once once a year for Ltsr, and twice a year for the

100
00:14:22.160 --> 00:14:25.850
Bill Sutton: the current releases. Yeah. Good stuff.

101
00:14:26.270 --> 00:14:35.759
Bill Sutton: Yeah, that'll that'll enable customers that need them. The longer support window being able to get few new features quicker. For sure.

102
00:14:35.880 --> 00:14:55.200
Bill Sutton: Alright! The next question was, does using windows 365, with Citrix, require extra licensing, and I think we, you and I know, Todd, it does not they, as long as they have an active citrix subscription. They can use that for windows, 365 machines. Any any further comments on that.

103
00:14:55.660 --> 00:15:18.969
Todd Smith: Yeah. So so I think this is probably a question that you know I get asked probably 3 or 4 times a week. Some of my peers and some of some of the folks on the Ats team get get asked this question almost daily. And I'm sure you, as a partner gets. Get asked this multiple times even more than we do. But really, this is a this is

104
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:27.470
Todd Smith: a way to leverage a truly a better together. Story of windows 365.

105
00:15:27.780 --> 00:15:31.070
Todd Smith: In. Specifically like the cloud. PC. Capabilities

106
00:15:31.650 --> 00:15:38.649
Todd Smith: connected in with Citrix. Right? So this is where this is where our relationship with Microsoft

107
00:15:39.170 --> 00:15:42.499
Todd Smith: has really come to a fruition of being able to

108
00:15:43.980 --> 00:15:47.810
Todd Smith: leverage the new licensing models, as well as being able to

109
00:15:48.680 --> 00:16:05.389
Todd Smith: deliver some high quality applications and some of those additional functionality. So a lot of the hdx capabilities that customers have gotten used to being able to leverage that in a windows 3, 65, or an Avd type of delivery scenario.

110
00:16:07.140 --> 00:16:19.899
Bill Sutton: Yeah, I use it every day. I leverage. When a windows 3, 65 cloud PC. Directly through the the Citrix workspace. App. I, I turn on my laptop, which does, is really nothing more now than a thin client.

111
00:16:19.900 --> 00:16:20.230
Todd Smith: Important.

112
00:16:20.230 --> 00:16:37.619
Bill Sutton: Windows. 10 client. Turn on my laptop, fire up the workspace, app and launch my cloud. PC. The beauty of it is, I just got a keyboard for my ipad, and I can do. I can be very productive just on my my 11 inch ipad. Believe it or not. With with accessing through Citrix. I can do teams, meetings, Zoom Meetings

113
00:16:37.890 --> 00:16:39.919
Bill Sutton: it. It works great. So.

114
00:16:39.920 --> 00:16:58.959
Todd Smith: And and if you think about it, Bill, this is something that we demonstrated. Probably 15 years ago, synergy or an iphone was kind of kind of called the Nirvana phone, where your phone was just an access point into a virtual app and virtual desktop environment. And by using things like some of the Bluetooth.

115
00:16:59.680 --> 00:17:00.060
Bill Sutton: Okay.

116
00:17:00.060 --> 00:17:01.780
Todd Smith: Abilities and the extended

117
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:14.219
Todd Smith: connecting to a physical monitor, and being able to say, Hey, I've got my compute device. Now, the the thing that I use to access the entire environment is nothing more than a smartphone.

118
00:17:14.890 --> 00:17:19.830
Todd Smith: I think about how this has all changed. You just described your primary workload

119
00:17:19.980 --> 00:17:22.410
Todd Smith: is being run in the cloud someplace.

120
00:17:22.630 --> 00:17:28.360
Todd Smith: And all you're using is the smallest minimalist device you you can. You can have

121
00:17:28.790 --> 00:17:31.800
Todd Smith: to just act as a connection point to that.

122
00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:44.420
Todd Smith: And we're seeing a lot of customers that are saying, Hey, you know what? We really need to have a thin client life like experience. And we talked about this on a couple of blog posts or a couple of

123
00:17:44.560 --> 00:17:59.860
Todd Smith: podcast ago, right? Where we talked about the movement towards thin client computing as a way to deal with windows, 11 challenges to deal with, hardware requirements for windows, 11 to deal with, supply chain issues, to deal with tariffs and things like that.

124
00:18:00.230 --> 00:18:13.139
Todd Smith: But it really is. It's a way to reduce the management cost of those endpoints and yet still maintain that level of an awesome user experience for the end user.

125
00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:14.825
Bill Sutton: Absolutely.

126
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:42.570
Bill Sutton: absolutely so. Next question is concerning chrome enterprise premium, and whether that's included in the Citrix licensing, chrome Enterprise premium, which I'm sure Todd can talk about here because I think you just started using it recently. This is the evolution of the the Citrix enterprise. Browser enterprise. Yeah. The enterprise, browser, leveraging chrome enterprise premium, and it is included in the Citrix licensing at the platform level.

127
00:18:42.570 --> 00:18:44.869
Todd Smith: At the platform at the platform level. That's correct.

128
00:18:44.870 --> 00:18:47.030
Bill Sutton: You want to expound on that some Todd, as.

129
00:18:47.030 --> 00:18:55.713
Todd Smith: Sure, sure. So several years ago we introduced the Citrix Citrix Enterprise Browser, which is a chromium based solution.

130
00:18:56.420 --> 00:19:01.869
Todd Smith: That still required a little bit of that additional infrastructure to be able to make it run.

131
00:19:02.980 --> 00:19:15.780
Todd Smith: Recently we made it an announcement about a partnership with Google to provide chrome enterprise premium as part of your Citrix license. And this is going to be. It's a native chrome.

132
00:19:16.270 --> 00:19:18.150
Todd Smith: based browser

133
00:19:18.390 --> 00:19:24.949
Todd Smith: that can be fully managed. All of your policies that you're used to with a citrix session and things like that.

134
00:19:25.620 --> 00:19:27.810
Todd Smith: Can those who have come across

135
00:19:27.930 --> 00:19:31.149
Todd Smith: and the benefit here is Number one. You can lock down.

136
00:19:31.350 --> 00:19:33.290
Todd Smith: What can be done to that? Browser?

137
00:19:33.730 --> 00:19:41.500
Todd Smith: Number 2? Is it leverages? The local resources on that endpoint, still maintains centralized control

138
00:19:41.740 --> 00:19:56.760
Todd Smith: and centralized control can be everything, from the policies to all of the ingress and egress points throughout that browser connection, and also what you can do with the actual data. So a lot of organizations are concerned with

139
00:19:57.050 --> 00:20:03.350
Todd Smith: privacy laws and compliance programs and Dlp for data protection.

140
00:20:04.290 --> 00:20:09.830
Todd Smith: The enterprise browser approach, eliminates, eliminates a lot of that risk

141
00:20:10.100 --> 00:20:12.110
Todd Smith: and makes it much more manageable.

142
00:20:15.580 --> 00:20:38.400
Bill Sutton: Yeah, this is a really neat addition to the to the platform. For sure, and helps helps us answer the question about, Do I need Vdi, or do I need published apps to to deliver a Sas app? And the answer is, you can use it that way, and we've been using it that way for years. But in situations where you, you want to leverage the browser, the native browser, but still have that policy based control

143
00:20:38.470 --> 00:20:53.299
Bill Sutton: for what the user can do and and secure your data. That's where the combination of the chrome enterprise premium offering as well as traditional app publishing or Vdi for those legacy apps and for other uses become a great combination.

144
00:20:55.595 --> 00:21:22.259
Bill Sutton: The next question is relative, it says, is Elux separately licensed. Elux is the endpoint operating system. That's part of the unicon acquisition. So Unicon is a is the the product, if you will again, and that the Elux is part of that product, and it is, fully available as part of both universal hybrid, multi cloud or Uhmc. As well as the platform license. Anything else to add there. Todd.

145
00:21:22.490 --> 00:21:52.350
Todd Smith: Yeah. And and I think a lot of lot of organizations are really kind of looking at ways to reduce their overall endpoint costs. This is a way to not only reduce it, but also to kind of defer those purchases out over the next couple of years, while we figure out what we're gonna do with supply chain issues. What we're going to do with, you know, some of the windows, 11 migrations. And then, more importantly, you know, adjusting towards, as I mentioned before, adjusting towards, how do we deal with things like tariffs? And you know, and

146
00:21:52.450 --> 00:21:54.509
Todd Smith: chip shortages and things like that?

147
00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:55.440
Bill Sutton: Yeah.

148
00:21:56.210 --> 00:22:20.130
Bill Sutton: alright. That covers the 1st category, second, category, identity and access intra id fas fas and spa. So the 1st question here is, can we use intra id sso without faz, for on prem on prem environments? And the answer at this point is not yet on prem cbad requires ad and intra id with fas

149
00:22:20.576 --> 00:22:48.999
Bill Sutton: apparently daz will initially support. Enter id with cbad to support as follows, I know that you can. You? You can't get sso without faz but of course, without faz with enter Id. The user just has to sign in with their credentials twice but there, there have been some articles that you could find blog posts where folks have kind of reverse engineered it in a way, and made it so that it you can make it work, but it's not supported right, Todd.

150
00:22:49.000 --> 00:23:00.209
Todd Smith: Yeah. Yeah. And Bill, this is, this is kind of an interesting part of the conversation. Because if you look at intra id, or what used to be known as Azure Active Directory.

151
00:23:00.210 --> 00:23:00.810
Bill Sutton: 5.

152
00:23:00.810 --> 00:23:09.530
Todd Smith: And Federated office communication services as well as you know that whole concept around single sign on

153
00:23:09.690 --> 00:23:14.070
Todd Smith: it relies so much on trust relationships that are set.

154
00:23:14.310 --> 00:23:18.510
Todd Smith: And the challenge sometimes that we have has been

155
00:23:18.630 --> 00:23:26.869
Todd Smith: not all of the single sign on relationship developments and relationship management is effective right now.

156
00:23:27.070 --> 00:23:34.390
Todd Smith: right. So it's fairly complex. We're looking for ways to simplify it and make it so.

157
00:23:34.610 --> 00:23:42.700
Todd Smith: You can establish not only a bi-directional trust, but also identify which ones are going to be one-way trust.

158
00:23:44.350 --> 00:23:54.219
Todd Smith: And the benefit here is that a lot of organizations have multiple, active directory domains and multiple forests and things like that that really make it very complex.

159
00:23:54.350 --> 00:23:55.370
Todd Smith: And

160
00:23:56.160 --> 00:24:05.759
Todd Smith: we really need to make sure that not only not only Citrix, but also some of the industry partners like Microsoft and some of the identity providers that are out there

161
00:24:06.100 --> 00:24:17.769
Todd Smith: are all on the same page when it comes to how to clearly define what? What is the role of single sign on what is the role of trust relationships? And what is the role managing those effectively?

162
00:24:18.510 --> 00:24:23.300
Todd Smith: And in some cases it's going to be. A lot of automation has to be put into place.

163
00:24:23.700 --> 00:24:26.750
Bill Sutton: Yeah, yeah, exactly.

164
00:24:27.600 --> 00:24:37.539
Bill Sutton: So. The next question is entry, id, sso dependent on the endpoint. OS, and the answer is, yes, based on the the specific workspace app for it to work, end to end.

165
00:24:37.995 --> 00:24:42.570
Bill Sutton: And then the following question is whether it works on Mac or Chrome, OS, and

166
00:24:43.103 --> 00:24:56.290
Bill Sutton: the response, here is the goal is cross platform support wherever Workspace app is available. But I think there's still some more technical details. As you alluded to, Todd, that need to be worked out during the tech Preview. That's forthcoming.

167
00:24:56.290 --> 00:25:03.000
Todd Smith: Correct. Yeah. And and there's once again, there's a lot of slot development activities between, you know.

168
00:25:03.150 --> 00:25:08.833
Todd Smith: companies that that are in some cases competing with each other.

169
00:25:09.500 --> 00:25:18.889
Todd Smith: you know there is no single, hey? Here's the guidelines on how to write right, how to build single sign on, and trust relationships kind of across the board.

170
00:25:19.352 --> 00:25:27.840
Todd Smith: Each one of the OS manufacturers have their own unique approach towards you know what they're going to open up in their Apis to be able to do this.

171
00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:53.490
Bill Sutton: The next question is an interesting one. What's the difference between secure browser and enterprise, browser? And the explanation is in the blog article, but fundamentally secure browser is, is like launching a browser in a cloud. It's an isolated browser, they call it. They refer to it as air gapped enterprise, browser running in the cloud. The enterprise browser natively, is typically an installed product.

172
00:25:53.846 --> 00:26:18.770
Bill Sutton: That's like your local browser. But it's got all the policy controls and things that Todd explained earlier, built around it to help provide security controls within the app itself. So it's more that that's what Google, the the Chrome enterprise browser that we were talking about earlier is, it's more of an enterprise. Browser, secure, browser is something that citrix? 1 point, I think, was it. What did they call it remote?

173
00:26:18.770 --> 00:26:19.210
Todd Smith: But.

174
00:26:19.210 --> 00:26:19.970
Bill Sutton: Inflation, orders.

175
00:26:19.970 --> 00:26:29.509
Todd Smith: Yeah. So we used to sell it as a service, right? So you could go to a hosted browser someplace, and then you could have. It was really

176
00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:36.719
Todd Smith: intended for those customers who wanted to maintain traffic in one single container.

177
00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:37.130
Bill Sutton: Right.

178
00:26:37.130 --> 00:26:49.090
Todd Smith: And never have that. Never have that content go back and forth out of that container. So think of it as like doing financial transactions or doing something that

179
00:26:49.220 --> 00:27:01.760
Todd Smith: you really want to limit, what people can do who can do it, what they can do when they're doing when they're in it and make sure that there's no data leakage across any of the other applications that that user has.

180
00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:06.159
Bill Sutton: And typically a a secure browser is.

181
00:27:06.360 --> 00:27:18.990
Bill Sutton: It's the kind of thing where you access it. And then it once it's once you're finished, it's destroyed. So that's that's a lot of that's not how all of them do it. But that's kind of how it was done with Citrix back in the day. Yeah.

182
00:27:19.660 --> 00:27:29.289
Bill Sutton: next category is Elux and unicon integrations. And we touched on some of this earlier but the 1st one is what is Elux, and how is it used with Citrix?

183
00:27:30.750 --> 00:27:33.460
Todd Smith: Yeah. So if you look at it, you know Elox is

184
00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:40.419
Todd Smith: elix is you know, it's a secure Linux based OS, that that

185
00:27:40.550 --> 00:28:06.850
Todd Smith: is purpose built for for Vdi and hosted applications. Right? So this is something that was built specifically for a use case where you're walking up to. You know, you've got basically a kiosk like experience. And it's going to allow you to connect into virtual apps desktops, das or leveraging Citrix workspace to get a connection directly into a citrix environment.

186
00:28:06.930 --> 00:28:16.959
Todd Smith: And this is something that can be deployed on Prem in the cloud or hybrid setup and be able to have that. You know that same consistent high level, high.

187
00:28:17.150 --> 00:28:28.230
Todd Smith: high, high level or high performance experience, regardless of what device you happen to be on. Elux basically allows you to

188
00:28:28.360 --> 00:28:35.209
Todd Smith: dumb down the endpoint, but still be be able to deliver, you know, a high quality experience to that user.

189
00:28:35.500 --> 00:28:36.180
Bill Sutton: Yes.

190
00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:44.511
Bill Sutton: the next question which you kind of answered in a way does it require domain join? And the the short answer is, no, it does not.

191
00:28:45.230 --> 00:28:47.869
Todd Smith: So so here's the thing, right, Bill, the the

192
00:28:48.230 --> 00:28:55.940
Todd Smith: the operating system on that endpoint that Linux based that secure Linux based operating system with the workspace app built into it.

193
00:28:56.050 --> 00:28:59.070
Todd Smith: The workspace app is what's doing. The domain join

194
00:28:59.390 --> 00:29:04.399
Todd Smith: component of it. That's where you identify your credentials. That's how you identify.

195
00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:24.810
Todd Smith: You know, you go through the authentication process, and then you get whatever services and resources and access that you need to have is then delivered to you as the individual on that when you log out or when you reboot that machine, it is not connected to the domain. It's not containing any licenses. The user logging into that

196
00:29:24.980 --> 00:29:28.418
Todd Smith: session is what is going to enable

197
00:29:29.170 --> 00:29:34.769
Todd Smith: that authentication piece and then be able to deliver determine what services get delivered out to that.

198
00:29:35.280 --> 00:29:44.819
Bill Sutton: Yeah, exactly, really. Key for kiosk based case based deployments and all of the management which we'll talk about in a minute is managed through the

199
00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:52.689
Bill Sutton: the scout portal, which is the again the management framework for managing all of these Elux enabled devices.

200
00:29:53.320 --> 00:29:58.390
Bill Sutton: Can I use boot to Vdi on hard disk with Elux. Absolutely.

201
00:29:58.390 --> 00:30:00.050
Bill Sutton: Yes, absolutely.

202
00:30:01.060 --> 00:30:11.900
Bill Sutton: you can, you know, have it boot automatically. So that they user turns it on. And they see their login page, the login page, to get into the the, to get into their their published desktop.

203
00:30:12.203 --> 00:30:38.269
Bill Sutton: Obviously the same types of security controls around like things like Mfa. Mfa. And all that would be driven by the policy set at the corporate level. So there's really nothing that needs to be done in that regard on Elux. That's all handled by, you know by the cloud authentication frameworks. You can also. You can also do. You can boot it from a USB stick. Doesn't have to be installed locally on the device. It can be leveraged via USB. Stick.

204
00:30:38.270 --> 00:30:38.870
Todd Smith: Yep.

205
00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:59.839
Todd Smith: yeah. And there's been, you know, the great thing about the way Bill has approached this response, Bill Gray is approached. This response to this blog post is really, he's inserted a lot of great videos and hyperlinks into it to really kind of drive this home. This video that's associated with this specific question is phenomenal when it comes to

206
00:31:00.390 --> 00:31:03.170
Todd Smith: actually seeing what the user experience is like.

207
00:31:03.420 --> 00:31:04.900
Bill Sutton: Right for sure.

208
00:31:05.720 --> 00:31:13.570
Bill Sutton: The next question is, can I manage Elux devices without a VPN. And the short answer again is, yes. You want to expound on that Todd.

209
00:31:13.630 --> 00:31:28.979
Todd Smith: Yeah. So so this is kind of interesting, right? Because one of the things that came with that came with Unicon was this Scout Cloud gateway, which is really think of it as a a Micro VPN that allows that specific device to connect into

210
00:31:29.250 --> 00:31:36.890
Todd Smith: connect remotely and securely into the environment very similar to way

211
00:31:37.190 --> 00:31:45.130
Todd Smith: our VPN technology works or our Citrix secure remote access and secure gateway works.

212
00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:47.260
Todd Smith: you know. So I think this is.

213
00:31:47.410 --> 00:31:54.489
Todd Smith: there's probably going to be some features that we're going to be able to merge together here and make us more secure and much more user friendly.

214
00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:56.650
Bill Sutton: Great

215
00:31:58.423 --> 00:32:15.329
Bill Sutton: the next one is there support for USB. Redirection and Elux and just. Yes, there is printer scanners, smart card readers, etc. Again, like like you like, Todd mentioned. The the management is all handled via the scout.

216
00:32:15.530 --> 00:32:26.409
Bill Sutton: the scout portal, if you will. And there's some documentation you can refer to regarding the setting up of these these USB type devices. That's kind of table stakes these days. Right? Todd.

217
00:32:26.410 --> 00:32:36.710
Todd Smith: It is, and especially in some of the industries where we're seeing a lot of thin clients being used healthcare specifically, you walk up to a you walk up to a thin client at a nurse's station.

218
00:32:36.830 --> 00:32:56.279
Todd Smith: and it looks like the device is on life support. There's so many different USB devices plugged into it. There's printers, there's scanners, there's cameras, there's dictation, microphones. There's all kinds of stuff that needs to go in there, and traditionally, with Citrix that was all part of your virtual app and virtual desktop experience.

219
00:32:56.280 --> 00:32:57.000
Bill Sutton: Alright!

220
00:32:57.000 --> 00:32:59.740
Todd Smith: We've incorporated all of that into deluxe as well.

221
00:33:02.172 --> 00:33:11.500
Bill Sutton: The last question in that in this category is, Where can I find hardware requirements? There's a quick start guide referenced in the blog article and then, of course, product documentation.

222
00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:32.270
Todd Smith: The project. Mutation has a really good up to date, hardware configuration or hardware hardware compatibility list similar to what you see with some of our other products right in it. Work on these type of devices pretty much if it's an x 86 device with the right memory and RAM requirements in there it's gonna work

223
00:33:32.520 --> 00:33:36.469
Todd Smith: pretty seamlessly, but it's always good to check the hdl.

224
00:33:38.690 --> 00:34:03.550
Bill Sutton: For sure. Alright! That's the end of the Elux category. We'll go to integrations with partners, and I kind of had. I kind of chuckled on the 1st one, knowing who my guest is on the on the podcast today and your background, I'm gonna, let you take this one. But any updates on Pvs integration with Nutanix. I love the fact that somebody asked this question. It demonstrates Pbs is still in the forefront or at the forefront of a lot of administrators minds, doesn't it?

225
00:34:04.020 --> 00:34:20.889
Todd Smith: Yeah, it does. And you know, as a as an original ardence guy, it really kind of still makes me makes my heart go warm with thinking that Pbs is still used in a lot of organizations. But it's not just Pbs, right? It's Pbs and Mcs all being managed with web studio.

226
00:34:21.110 --> 00:34:47.269
Todd Smith: you know, for us to build a relationship with Nutanix. We have to make sure that all tools that people are used to using in an on-prem environment are still able to be used in another partner's environment, whether it be a cloud partner or whether it be a traditional hardware partner like nutanix that really allows you to actually integrate it all together. Right? That whole single pane of glass from management perspective has become.

227
00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:56.440
Todd Smith: It's no longer just a nice to have, it's become a requirement for every single organization out there. We talked about this last week on the on the podcast when we're talking with nutanix.

228
00:34:56.440 --> 00:34:57.159
Todd Smith: We did. Yeah.

229
00:34:57.160 --> 00:35:07.830
Todd Smith: The integration with things like prism, the integration with of being able to manage some of the resources within the nutanix area in

230
00:35:08.010 --> 00:35:23.020
Todd Smith: as part of your studio and director, and vice versa. Right? You want to be able to from your prism console. You want to be able to see what's actually running on those virtual machines. And what's actually running in those those workloads, and how it can be best managed?

231
00:35:23.250 --> 00:35:29.029
Todd Smith: Right? So so it's no longer these isolated silos of infrastructure.

232
00:35:30.020 --> 00:35:49.049
Bill Sutton: Yes, and I. I found an interesting, the last sentence in this section, Pbs provisioning, using web studio. Mcs. Pbs. Is planned for an on prem release by year end. That's that's great news. So web studio integration with Pbs. And I'm sort of that, though I'm sure Citrix will take that even further going forward. To integrate that

233
00:35:49.519 --> 00:36:06.060
Bill Sutton: the next question is in, provide Sso support for Elux coming? The answer is yes. Later this year, and if you need to, are you interested in a proof of concept, demo contact your your ats, or your citrix rep regard in that regard.

234
00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:17.960
Todd Smith: And and we've started showing that to a couple of healthcare customers, specifically that it provide a integration and the ease of use of being able to do it.

235
00:36:18.750 --> 00:36:33.719
Todd Smith: And not only is it not only is it easy to use, but it's also easy to administer right? So as I'm starting to leverage some of the tools, especially things around authentication techniques and things like that. I don't have to go through these multiple

236
00:36:34.100 --> 00:36:39.096
Todd Smith: multiple 3rd party vendors that have to kind of get in the middle of the

237
00:36:39.630 --> 00:36:56.580
Todd Smith: The authentication path, right? So being able to have it be natively supported is critical. And once again, it's coming up later on. This year we're still going through some final testing and working closely with with the team over in Provider. To make sure this works

238
00:36:57.780 --> 00:36:59.180
Todd Smith: works all the time.

239
00:36:59.180 --> 00:36:59.730
Bill Sutton: Yeah.

240
00:37:00.610 --> 00:37:08.480
Bill Sutton: yeah, there's another blog article from back in May that that talks about this, that we probably should cover at some point. We might wait until they release it and cover it then. So

241
00:37:09.340 --> 00:37:31.570
Bill Sutton: the next category, browser, browser and endpoint security. We touched on this a little bit earlier, but some. There's some deeper questions here. 1st one, can I control local browsers to restrict sas access? The enterprise browser. You absolutely can supports endpoint enforcement of both managed and then unmanaged devices, because it's the browser is effectively managed by a cloud based

242
00:37:32.279 --> 00:37:32.700
Bill Sutton: console.

243
00:37:32.700 --> 00:37:33.190
Todd Smith: Correct.

244
00:37:33.190 --> 00:37:37.739
Bill Sutton: It's getting it some orders from somewhere else. So you can even put it on an unmanaged device. Right? Todd.

245
00:37:37.740 --> 00:37:41.939
Todd Smith: Yeah. And and this is critical. I mean a lot of organizations that we work with.

246
00:37:42.510 --> 00:37:45.399
Todd Smith: And probably you guys as well will, it's that

247
00:37:45.530 --> 00:37:55.510
Todd Smith: a lot of customers are going through some types of mergers and acquisition activity where they're onboarding new employees, or they're onboarding consultants and 3rd party contractors.

248
00:37:56.380 --> 00:38:02.579
Todd Smith: You the the days of having to ship out a laptop to every single new employee or every contractor.

249
00:38:02.690 --> 00:38:28.870
Todd Smith: I mean, those are pretty much gone right. Everyone's using their own byo device, and oftentimes they're connecting in through some type of browser. Well, you need to make sure that you have the proper amount of controls in there everything from starting. When you connect to the browser, it actually does and can can actually execute an EPA scan. So an endpoint analysis to make sure that device doesn't have any critical security gaps. It can also

250
00:38:29.020 --> 00:38:34.460
Todd Smith: lockdown where they can store data, what they can do, what what they can print right. And

251
00:38:34.540 --> 00:38:56.349
Todd Smith: hey, as a as one of the best fail safes out there. It's actually now putting the ability to watermark that browser session. So it has not only username and username and IP address. In some cases you can put time stamps in there and things like that which basically, if they did capture a screenshot of that, or took a photo of that.

252
00:38:56.360 --> 00:39:06.200
Todd Smith: The identifiable information that is actually follows the rules of evidence to actually make it more secure, and it it

253
00:39:06.460 --> 00:39:25.320
Todd Smith: deals with, and it matches a lot of the compliance requirements that are out there for being able to identify, you know, who has access to the data, and if it does somehow get get printed or someone takes a photo of it, there's there's information that cannot be removed off of that screen

254
00:39:25.420 --> 00:39:38.019
Todd Smith: to be able to show that a lot of times you see this at Banks and a lot of you know, healthcare institutions and financial services and insurance companies. This is a critical part of their overall security posture.

255
00:39:38.450 --> 00:40:02.049
Bill Sutton: Yeah, I think you know, one of the key things here talks about, managed and unmanaged. So in the example you gave there, Todd, about coming from a home user PC, or an unmanaged device, you know, kind of one of the baseline things you would do to your point is you would enable watermarking, you would via that on that scan you would say, Hey, is this managed or unmanaged? And then you'd lock down things like clipboard copy and paste between their device and the and the

256
00:40:02.050 --> 00:40:20.299
Bill Sutton: the session in the remote browser. And that session doesn't have to be a isn't necessarily a citrix session. It could be access to salesforce or sap, or some other web based, or saas based application. And you can lock down saving, copying, and saving files you can lock down. I mean, a lot of this is table stakes. But

257
00:40:20.300 --> 00:40:37.239
Bill Sutton: bottom line is. There's there's a lot of things you would do at the baseline, and then you could, through the endpoint, scan. You could say, if it's a managed device. However, I'm going to relax those restrictions somewhat. You know, based on knowing that I'm managing that device, and and I had have some, at least some general idea of

258
00:40:37.270 --> 00:40:57.539
Bill Sutton: what how secure it is if it's, you know, managed via my organization, so gives the the administrators a lot of flexibilities and a lot of the the policy framework that we've come to be used to in a citrix oriented Vdi solution, where we can do a lot of these same things that's now extended to the browser running on the user's endpoint. So it's very, very powerful.

259
00:40:58.940 --> 00:41:03.460
Bill Sutton: So the next question is, is Microsoft Edge supported with secure private access?

260
00:41:04.630 --> 00:41:08.090
Bill Sutton: That's a that's a no, but no, but that's why.

261
00:41:08.090 --> 00:41:10.890
Todd Smith: Answer. Right? So so no, it's

262
00:41:11.190 --> 00:41:19.979
Todd Smith: Spa secure. Private access is not currently supported by Microsoft Edge or doesn't work with Microsoft Edge. But

263
00:41:20.290 --> 00:41:37.850
Todd Smith: here's the solution. We do have a secure access agent, which is our 0 trust network access agent that can be installed on the endpoint to be able to access or allow access to private web applications. Right? So there is, there is a solution. It's not.

264
00:41:38.150 --> 00:41:42.409
Todd Smith: it's not Spa, but it is part of our 0 trust or zta approach.

265
00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:43.430
Bill Sutton: Yeah.

266
00:41:44.230 --> 00:41:52.129
Bill Sutton: And then the last question in this category can enterprise browser and das be managed from a single console? The answer is, yes, unified.

267
00:41:52.130 --> 00:42:03.029
Todd Smith: Once again that that one single pane of glass to manage the environment comes through, over and over. But but here's the thing right. We. We talk about the single pane of glass to manage and visualize things.

268
00:42:03.200 --> 00:42:11.159
Todd Smith: But getting into that single pane of glass concept, that means all of the automation tools that are sitting behind that pane of glass

269
00:42:11.330 --> 00:42:29.060
Todd Smith: can work seamlessly with each other. Right? So I can put in automation. I can. I can leverage things like some of the orchestrators that are out there. Whether it be terraform or ansible, I can leverage it in with some of the workflows that are that are included with things like service. Now.

270
00:42:30.030 --> 00:42:37.980
Todd Smith: The the pane of glass is just the visualization piece of it. It's the. It's the inner workings, right? It's it's making sure that

271
00:42:38.430 --> 00:42:42.809
Todd Smith: the recipe behind the the behind the the scene is the same.

272
00:42:43.090 --> 00:42:43.750
Bill Sutton: Right.

273
00:42:43.750 --> 00:42:45.709
Todd Smith: And the tools all interact with each other.

274
00:42:45.710 --> 00:42:47.579
Bill Sutton: Yeah, all the data is there.

275
00:42:47.580 --> 00:42:48.160
Todd Smith: Yep.

276
00:42:48.860 --> 00:43:05.230
Bill Sutton: Alright, that's pretty much it. The the next the last question was, would the request, the session recording it be shared? And of course, if if you want to go back and listen to the the original webinar from May, there's a link here to allow you to listen to that. So that's really all that we had. For this

277
00:43:05.230 --> 00:43:32.109
Bill Sutton: podcast. Episode is reviewing this blog in the QA. Obviously, we always say this, if you, if there's questions you have that have not been answered here or answered in the webinar answered from any of our podcasts, just reach out to to myself, or any of, or your salesperson at Centegra, or your Citrix Ats, or Mr. Smith on the call here. We will all we're all willing to, you know, jump in and help and guide you to the right location to get answers to your questions.

278
00:43:33.250 --> 00:43:35.020
Bill Sutton: Any final thoughts, Todd.

279
00:43:36.010 --> 00:43:41.040
Todd Smith: You know what, bill this this you know, I think we we've started off a little bit of a trepidation about how this.

280
00:43:41.040 --> 00:43:42.129
Bill Sutton: And I was thinking the same thing.

281
00:43:42.130 --> 00:43:43.220
Todd Smith: Really worked out well.

282
00:43:43.220 --> 00:44:03.810
Bill Sutton: It did, it did. It was really a good article to kind of cover, and you know certainly our listeners could go read this, but if you're driving in the car, at least this gives you the opportunity to or even if you're not, gives you an opportunity to kind of hear us banter back and forth regarding the various questions. So again, if you have further questions or need additional information, don't hesitate to reach out to us.

283
00:44:04.020 --> 00:44:06.209
Bill Sutton: Thank you, Todd, for joining today.

284
00:44:06.210 --> 00:44:08.689
Todd Smith: Thanks, Bill. Have a wonderful 4th of July weekend.

285
00:44:08.690 --> 00:44:09.859
Bill Sutton: Thanks you too.

286
00:44:09.860 --> 00:44:10.210
Todd Smith: Thank you.

287
00:44:10.210 --> 00:44:12.969
Bill Sutton: Thanks to our listeners, and we'll see you again next week.
