Citrix, How it works!

Input/Output

Solution WITHOUT CITRIX!

Processing Storage

Network Link (10/100/1000 Mbit)!

What happens when this link becomes very thin (ISDN,

modem or even GSM)

Current computer systems span the three layers!

Solution WITH CITRIX!

Network Link (10/100/1000 Mbit)!

This link is not an issue anymore as both systems are in the same computerroom!

Citrix recreates the « three layers » by introducing (a) dedicated Citrix Server(s)

The Storage servers are already in place, no changes here!

The workstations are already in place, no changes here!

The Citrix communication is done via the ICA protocol, very thin (10 Kb) and virtually client

independent!


The solution

• One universal interface, a browser

• Reduces training costs

• Easy to learn, easy to use

• Universal experience

• Device independent

• Citrix solves your bandwidth issues

• Presentation Server or Access Essentials

• Applications don’t need to be rewritten

• One application can be used eveywhere

• Easy to manage

• Cheaper

• Easy to change, expand, reorganise, reduce


This is what the user sees!
