Re: IBM News / GraphOn / Citrix Thread, Below is some news regarding IBM's relationship with Citrix. BTW, in doing a little DD on CTXS competitor GraphOn, they also apparently have some kind of agreement with IBM. I can't remember exactly what it is now? I'm not concerned about GraphOn being a viable competitor to CTXS. I would be surprised (which would not be the first time) if they are. Anyhow, after listening to 40 minutes worth of their presentation, there wasn't a thing they said that CTXS could not have said. As a matter of fact, GraphOn's CEO used CTXS's as an example of how important the thin-client market is.

In addition, IBM Global Services will manage IBM Corporation's own worldwide deployment of Citrix server-based technology across its divisions. Already a Citrix ICA(R) licensee for the IBM Network Station and member of the Citrix Business Alliance Program, IBM Corporation has strong server-based computing implementations internally and with global enterprise customers....This alliance significantly extends Citrix's relationship with IBM Corporation, and furthers the reach of Citrix server-based technology within Global 1000 companies. "This announcement strengthens our relationship with IBM, enabling us to take server-based computing deep within the enterprise as we meet application deployment needs of companies worldwide." IBM Corporation's use of server-based computing solutions across its divisions has resulted in improved productivity as employees have high-performance access to their applications, from anywhere in the world.
