CITRIX TECHNOLOGY REDUCES THE TOTAL COST
OF OWNERSHIP
The main advantages for deploying Citrix
technology are reduced costs, better manageability, and increased
security.
Eliminates Client Hardware Upgrades – The
Citrix server-based model eliminates the need to upgrade client hardware
to capably run the latest software. Sophisticated or expensive client
hardware is not required. Companies can increase the productivity of
end-users and expand resources by simply adding centralized servers.
Provides
Centralized Software Upgrades
– The Citrix server-based model allows applications to be
deployed and updated quickly and easily at the server level.
End-user PC’s typically do not require upgrading thereby saving time and
resources to install client updates.
Effective Management Tool
– The Citrix server-based model can be internally or remotely managed to
maintain desktop integrity and security for both local and remote users.
Access to the web can be restricted; files are kept on the central
server. With Citrix, security concerns are significantly reduced.
Support Made Easier – A
Citrix feature called “shadowing” allows support issues to be quickly
and easily resolved by the administrator with an individual user or
multiple users at the same time. Shadowing takes the guesswork out of
user questions and allows the user to get back to work quicker.
Efficient Training Tool
– Application training can be done quickly and easily by shadowing a
user’s session, enabling the trainer to simply “walk” a user through the
application fields. This training method can be used for local and
remote users, one at a time or in groups. Citrix provides a more
efficient means to deliver application training to users.
Less Expensive WAN
Alternative – A Citrix server-based model and ICA protocol offer the
lowest bandwidth and best remote access performance available today.
The typical Citrix ICA session uses only 10 to 15K of bandwidth,
thereby providing excellent performance over any type of connection,
including wireless and web. This technology offers a substantial
cost-savings over a typical wide-area-network build-out.
