With Citrix, organizations are better prepared for change - to seize new business opportunities, to comply with government regulations, and even respond to natural disasters more effectively. Citrix enables businesses to exploit the promise of new technologies instead of being overwhelmed by them.

Citrix products provide solutions to specific IT access pain points. We've earned leadership positions in application and desktop virtualization, Web application optimization, Web application security, SSL VPN gateways, on-demand assistance, online collaboration and IP telephony markets.

Used together, Citrix products work in flexible combinations as comprehensive solutions to address broader IT access challenges. These solutions, including complementary offerings from our ecosystem of more than 2,000 technology partners, can be combined into an access platform, a service-oriented approach to providing access on demand—the Citrix® Access Platform.

Business Software Solutions

Citrix Presentation Server

Citrix Presentation Server is the #1 application virtualization solution for providing any user with secure access to client/server applications from anywhere using any device or connection. Presentation Server enables IT to centrally deploy and manage line of business applications while providing secure, on-demand access to these resources, and delivering the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO), highest security, and best performance and scalability.

Citrix Presentation Server runs on Microsoft® Windows Server™ and UNIX® operating systems, and extends the base Windows Terminal Services platform by enhancing the end-user experience as well as increasing manageability, compatibility, security and scalability to address business-critical environments. Presentation Server expands the range of supported applications to include legacy software and Web-based, UNIX® and Java™ solutions. It also enables any device or operating system – including Macintosh® and Linux® – to access virtualized applications. Other important capabilities are powerful management and configuration tools and faster, more flexible printing.

Citrix EdgeSight

The Citrix EdgeSight™ solution shifts the IT focus from technology and systems to end-users and achieving business goals. It moves the emphasis away from the “plumbing” – the networks, servers, and infrastructure that support business – to the business itself and the conductors of that business. By measuring performance and availability from the user’s perspective, EdgeSight cuts across organizational and geographic boundaries and monitors the actual end-user experience. The result: IT organizations have the insight, data, and tools they need to ensure that all IT resources are operating at peak efficiency – so that end-users may do the same.

Citrix NetScaler Application Delivery Solutions

While other solutions claim to increase the performance of Web-enabled applications, only Citrix NetScaler products maximize the performance and security of Web-enabled applications. Plus, since NetScaler’s single, unified device takes the place of a number of point solutions, overall network infrastructures are dramatically simplified, and overall operational costs are dramatically reduced. Citrix NetScaler products increase the performance of Oracle, PeopleSoft, SAP, Siebel, Outlook Web Access, e-commerce applications and custom applications 70% or more, while increasing security and decreasing operational costs.

The Citrix NetScaler Application Accelerator is the ideal solution for enterprises seeking to maximize the performance of their Web applications and to provide clientless secure remote access to these applications.

The Citrix NetScaler Application Switch is a full-featured networking system that combines Layer 4-7 load balancing and content switching with a full complement of application acceleration and security features. An ideal replacement for aging load balancers and other traditional point solutions, the Application Switch reduces network complexity and overall operational costs.

Citrix Smart Access Products

In today’s online environment seething with viruses and malicious users, businesses must assume that all access devices are dangerous, all networks are dirty, and all access attempts are hostile. The Citrix Access Platform’s built-in intelligence – Citrix SmartAccess™ – can sense who and where a user is, including device and network, then respond with the appropriate degree of access, balancing user freedom and IT control. Citrix offers a powerful and broad line of access security solutions to control the first mile of access, which connects the user to the door of the data center.

Industry’s Fastest Growing SSL VPN - It starts with Citrix Access Gateway, a universal SSL VPN appliance that provides a single, secure, always-on point-of-access from anywhere, over public networks, to any enterprise resource. The Access Gateway, introduced in early 2005, is the fastest-growing SSL VPN solution in the industry, #1 in units shipped during the year.

Leading Enterprise Single Sign-On - Next come passwords - Carelessly managed by many users, creating a huge hole in an organization’s security shield. Citrix Password Manager, the market-leading single sign-on (SSO) solution and the only one with security certification from Foundstone, both makes it easier for users to manage their passwords – since they need only a single logon – and makes it possible for IT administrators to exert far tighter centralized control over the organization’s password environment and usage.

Best-in-class Web and XML Security - Next in the first mile of access comes application security. Delivering secure Web applications, in particular, is challenging because Web vulnerabilities are generally easy to exploit and up to 75% of hacker attacks now target application vulnerabilities. Citrix Application Firewall, the market-leading web application security solution, defends against all types of emerging Web security threats, even using a positive security model to enforce “correct” application behavior.
