Re: Short Overview of what Citrix Offers

Thread- For those that don't quite understand what Citrix's claim to fame is, I thought I would post these two paragraphs(off their website) that sum it up quite well.

Don't let, "ICA," throw you off. It's just a protocol that Citrix developed and is exclusively theirs. It's embedded in all their products. And their primary product is, "MetaFrame." -MikeM(From Florida)

************************

Citrix ICA- Our Independent Computing Architecture (ICA©) technology provides the foundation for turning any client device--thin or fat--into the ultimate thin client. That's why ICA has become a de facto industry standard for delivering corporate applications across the broadest variety of desktop platforms and networks.

On the server, ICA has the unique ability to separate application logic from the user interface. On the client, users see and work with the application's interface. But 100% of the application executes on the server. And therefore, with ICA, applications consume as little as one-tenth of their normal network bandwidth.

Seamless Desktop Integration- MetaFrame offers an enhanced user experience by providing complete access to all local system resources, including full 16-bit stereo audio, local drives, COM ports and local printers. Although applications run remotely from the server, they look, feel and perform as though they are running locally. By providing this level of comfort for users, MetaFrame eliminates the need for training and increases user productivity
