XenApp® 7.5 versus previous versions
Many XenApp administrators who worked with previous versions of XenApp were a bit confused when Citrix decided to adopt the same FlexCast Management Architecture that was introduced in XenDesktop 7 for XenApp 7.5.
In the following table, I have listed the most common functional elements and their corresponding elements (sometimes, they are not exact equivalents) in the newer version:
