Citrix Solution Components

Some of the key components of our Access Solutions are:

• Citrix Presentation Server

• Citrix NetScaler

• Web Interface

• Password Manager

• “Go To “ Suite

• Citrix Access Gateway

• Security

Each of these areas is outlined in brief below:

Citrix Presentation Server

At the heart of an Access Solution is Citrix Presentation Server. This allows applications to be published to a central server farm, rather than being deployed to the client devices. Uniquely, Citrix offers load balancing, application publishing, scaling and resilience capable of supporting tens of thousands of users, together with industry leading web delivery and security features bundles as standard.  More about Citrix Presentation Server.

 

NetScaler

Citrix NetScaler application delivery solutions combine the features and functions of traditional data center point products - load balancing, caching, compression, SSL acceleration, attack defense, SSL VPN - into a single network appliance, built from the ground up to maximize the performance of applications..

Web Interface

Within the Citrix Access Suite, Web Interface offers the ability to deliver applications to a browser securely, whether inside or outside the firewall. Used by many customers as their company desktop, Web Interface can be customized to display logos and other customer specific information.

Password Manager

Single-sign-on solves many of the frustrations end-users experience with accessing their systems - and significantly eases the burden on the helpdesk as well!  Citrix Password Manager can provide secure login to both Citrix and Windows delivered applications, and removes the need for "post-it note" password management.  More about Password Manager 4.0.

“Go To” Suite

The GoTo products (GoToMyPC, GoToAssist and GoToMeeting) offer market leading solutions for remote access, support and collaboration. Simple to deploy, these products have the capability to change the way your end-users work together, and how your organization supports the end-users.

Citrix Access Gateway

The Citrix Access Gateway provides a secure, always-on, single point-of-access that is simple and cost-effective to deploy and maintain. As a complementary access solution to both Presentation Server and Secure Access Manager, the Access Gateway delivers a single point of greatly reducing the complexity and cost involved in managing access scenarios across the user community.

The gateway allows access to resources via a standard desktop whether in front of or behind the firewall, giving a consistent user experience regardless of location.
