You can deploy your solution with or without APM, it really depends on your requirements. APM will give you very flexible options for authentication and presentation also will proxy ICA traffic . With LTM only there will be ICA traffic from 'Citrix Receiver Client Network' to 'Application and Virtual Desktop Resources'.

 

See link below its a useful guide:

 

Citrix XenApp or XenDesktop (BIG-IP v11, 12, 13: LTM, APM, AFM)

    Thanks for your response. You mean that without APM, firewall ports will need to be open from the client to connect directly to the XenDesktop servers? If doing this remotely, the XenDesktop servers will need a public IP address?
