Note:

You can manage your Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops deployment using two management consoles: Web Studio (web-based) and Citrix Studio (Windows-based). This feature is available only in Web Studio.

Autoscale is a feature that provides a consistent, high-performance solution to proactively power manage your machines. It aims to balance costs and user experience.

Autoscale enables proactive power management of all registered single-session and multi-session OS machines in a delivery group.

Autoscale features include:

Autoscale supports both multi-session OS and single-session OS delivery groups. There are three user interfaces to be aware of:

Autoscale user interface for multi-session OS delivery groups (formerly RDS delivery groups)
