Citrix XenApp Enterprise

The Citrix XenApp Enterprise Edition is a solution for businesses that want to deliver and integrate all Windows applications, automate system resiliency, expand application compatibility and rapidly provision applications across any size server farm.

Key Points

• Application virtualization (hosted/streamed)
• x64 support
• SpeedScreen progressive display
   
  

• Intelligent application delivery
  System intelligence coupled with configurable access controls automatically selects the most optimal and secure virtualization method for delivering each application. Pre-configured policies deliver set levels of access based on the user scenario, device capabilities, network performance, connection location and security profile.
• Online and offline application access
  Centrally managed applications are virtualized and delivered via a high speed delivery protocol for use while connected, or streamed directly to the endpoint and run in an isolated environment for use when offline.
• Hybrid application hosting
  Flexible application virtualization architecture allows applications to be hosted in the datacenter, either on multi-user terminal servers or on centralized virtual machines, enabling seamless application delivery to user desktops from any Windows OS.
• Proven app compatibility
  From complex, multi-tier line-of-business applications to common office productivity applications or professional graphics software, millions of virtualized applications are in production with more than 230,000 customers.
• Universal device support
  Users can instantly access virtualized applications from whichever client operating system or device is most convenient - a desktop or laptop PC, Macintosh, thin client and even mobile devices such as the iPhone.
• Receiver plug-ins
  A single, auto-updating client provides integrated desktop access to any application from any device or operating system. Administrators can control which plug-ins are available based on the services they provide to users.
• Better than installed user experience
  Virtualized applications deliver added reliability, fault-tolerance, access and usability options to ensure the user experience is better than with installed applications.
• EasyCall voice services
  Integrates the corporate phone system into any application so that users can click on any phone number to make a call or initiate a conference from any telephone - whether working remotely or in the office.
• Rapid updates and upgrades
  With only a single instance or image installed centrally in the datacenter, application and server updates and upgrades only need to be tested and delivered once. Rollback to a previous version is also simple and quick.
• Policy-based application publishing
  Centrally control and configure application virtualization rules and which users and groups can access each application. Applications can be organized into custom folders and configured to meet the delivery needs of any organization.
• Data protection
  Centralized control policies ensure that select users connect to specific applications and data, and that only screen updates, mouse clicks and keystrokes - not data - transit the network.
• Multi-factor authentication
  Instantly add multi-factor authentication to any Windows or legacy application without any rewrites, including dynamic token, RADIUS, Kerberos, SmartCard and biometrics.
• Centralized system management
  Manage even the most complex infrastructures from anywhere with comprehensive management capabilities that enable rapid provisioning, centralized control and system-wide performance analysis.
• Server virtualization platform
  Manage and provision physical XenApp server images or virtual server workloads, effectively converting a single physical server with idle capacity into multiple, virtual servers running at full capacity.
• Intelligent load and capacity management
  Configure custom load and resource rules to automatically distribute activity to optimize server performance and reserve resources for high priority activity. Manage system capacity and define peak periods to automatically optimize server performance and reduce idle capacity.
• Service level assurance
  Capacity planning tools and web-based dashboards help analyze and monitor end user performance and send alerts when performance falls below preset levels. Centralized performance monitoring automatically re-routes user connections to healthy servers while recording sessions for drill-down reports and root-cause analyzes.
