Citrix XenApp—Expanding Your Reach
(Previously known as Citrix Presentation Server)

Are you frustrated by the requirements to continually update your hardware to take advantage of new software? Would you like to reduce the time and money spent on maintaining your network? Do you have remote locations or mobile employees that require access to your organization's software, yet may not have access to high-speed data connections? If so, Citrix XenApp could be an ideal solution.

  • Hardware that once would have been discarded as obsolete remains useful and vital.
  • Mobilize your workforce with an office that goes anywhere.
  • Deploy applications in minutes instead of months.
  • Give remote offices a greater sense of corporate community.
  • Provide uninterrupted access to enterprise applications across servers in the event of systems downtime.
  • Citrix solutions are inherently secure.
  • Applications and data reside on the server, not on desktops. Only mouse clicks and keystrokes ever travel the network.
  • Bandwidth demands are kept in check because remote users enjoy speed and consistency of access, even through dial-up modems.
  • Technical staff who formerly went into the field can support the whole enterprise from a central location.

Preserving your technology investment
One of the most practical benefits of Citrix XenApp is its ability to prolong the investment you’ve made in your company’s workstations. As software applications become more powerful, they require continuously more powerful hardware to run them. You may find yourself continually adding more RAM and upgrading operating systems on your workstations just to keep up. When you use Citrix XenApp as your application server, the workstation’s horsepower becomes less of a priority, as you are utilizing the power of your server. You might easily manage using entry-level workstations, existing 486 machines, even Unix terminals, saving your organization thousands of dollars while increasing operational efficiency.

Leverage support services
A very real benefit to company’s using Citrix XenApp is the ability to allow network support and maintenance performed by our professionals off-site, saving you time and money. Our support technicians can securely access your network over the Internet, solving most problems and providing many services remotely.

Remote Access made easy
Think of the Citrix XenApp as an additional server operating between the user and your organization’s file server. Programs that might otherwise run from the user’s workstation instead run on the Citrix XenApp, with only screen changes and results transmitted to the workstation. The result is that virtually any software program, including word processing programs, spreadsheet applications, and any other business application software may be run remotely, at very high performance levels. Your applications will look, feel and perform as if they are running on a local, high performance desktop. It is not necessary for the applications to be using client/server technology.
