XenApp Product Overview
Citrix XenApp™ is a Windows application delivery system that
manages and virtualizes all applications in the datacenter for optimal
application performance and flexible delivery. With it, you can deliver all
Windows applications to office, task and mobile users on demand, either run
centrally from the datacenter or streamed down to the user’s device.
A single copy of the application is managed centrally, reducing support and
maintenance costs by as much as 40 percent. With more than 100 million users
and 99 percent of the Fortune Global 500 as customers, XenApp is the leader in
delivering Windows-based application with the best performance, security and
cost savings.
End-to-end Windows application delivery
Deliver
100 percent of your Windows-based applications without leaving the datacenter by
using the state-of-the-art application virtualization technologies of Citrix
XenApp. Eliminate the need to install or manage applications on individual user
devices, making application testing, provisioning, management and support easier
and less costly. Let the underlying intelligence automatically select the best
delivery method for the user, the application and the location, and watch
application performance improve dramatically.
Strongest security for applications and intellectual
property
Control, protect and retain intellectual property centrally
to dramatically reduce the chance for data loss and theft. XenApp helps you
prevent data from leaving the datacenter without your explicit permission,
supporting regulatory compliance and security objectives. Built-in endpoint
scans and policy controls take into account each user’s role, device
characteristics and network conditions to determine which applications and data
they are authorized to access. These dynamic attributes also define where users
may store and print sensitive information. Such strong data and application
security measures decrease the potential for inadvertent exposure, and enhance
your ability to back up and restore information from one place for greater fault
tolerance and disaster recovery. Integrated single sign-on and a secure SSL VPN
gateway for remote access enable a “one password, one path” approach to
application and data access.
Outstanding application performance over any
network
Improve application responsiveness and increase user
productivity with patented application virtualization techniques perfected over
15 years. Many applications frustrate users as they wait for data to be pushed
across the network. Over high-latency or bandwidth-constrained WANs, these
problems are even worse. XenApp greatly reduces network bandwidth requirements
and mitigates latency issues, because with virtualized applications, only mouse
movements, keystrokes and screen updates traverse the network. Even data-laden
and graphics-heavy applications perform better, keeping users active and
productive.
Fastest application delivery to all users -
anywhere
Accelerate the time-to-value of your applications so you can
respond quickly to changing business needs. Manage the delivery of all your
Windows-based applications from one centralized location — no need to go from
desktop to desktop, travel from office to office, or wait for laptops to return
to headquarters. With XenApp, you deliver applications and updates instantly,
anywhere, any time — to offshore employees, outsourcers, new branch offices, new
mergers & acquisitions, or mobile workforces.
Continuous availability and reliable, fast application
performance
Provide high application availability for an ‘always-on’
user experience with application load management, automated server recovery and
failover. Troubleshoot issues quickly by using detailed and actionable reports
that monitor the end-user experience and identify root-causes anywhere in the
system: the application, server, network or desktop. XenApp gives you end-to-end
visibility into application usage and performance, key to satisfying and
verifying application service level agreements (SLAs) and increasing user
satisfaction and productivity.
One interface, one logon, one great
experience
Users need one simple way to access applications,
regardless of location or device. With SmoothRoaming, you can ensure that
applications and data move with your users as they change locations, networks,
or devices, so they can pick up exactly where they left off without
interruption.
