| CITRIX |

One of the hardest things to manage on a network are desktop applications. The time invested, not to mention the cost, in supporting all the issues that arise from software problems, and end user support is one of the major contributors to overall TCO. Citrix solves this by eliminating the need to install the applications on the desktop. You install 1 copy of the software on the server, and all the workstations connect to it in terminal mode. The application does not even run on the desktop.
What does that mean to the end user? Nothing. They don't even know they are connected server. It looks and acts as if the application is running on their own workstation, but all you have to support/upgrade is 1 installation running on the server.
Why invest in Citrix?
- Lowers TCO by reducing post installation support expenditures
- Application is installed one on the server
- Shadowing allows admin to remotely take over sessions for support
- Applications can be used in low bandwidth situations, (i.e. over the internet) securely with 128 bit encryption.
- Reduces network traffic significantly on some applications.
- Can run Office XP on an old 486 computer with only DOS Installed!
Citrix makes a wonderful extension to an existing network implementation in either a Novell Netware or Microsoft Windows environment.
