Citrix Presentation Server Application Streaming — Extending the value of Presentation Server to desktops and laptops
Application Streaming is an innovative new feature of Citrix Presentation Server™ 4.5 that enhances IT administrators’ ability to centralize management of all Windows-based applications. With both application virtualization and application streaming integrated in a single solution, Presentation Server can dynamically select the best application delivery method based on the user profile, the application type, and the physical location. Applications become an on-demand service that are always available and always up to date.
CUSTOMER CHALLENGES
The reality today is that many companies are hitting a wall of complexity when it comes to managing their ever-growing number of desktop applications and diverse access scenarios. This complexity translates into a huge amount of time and money spent providing what amounts to a patchwork solution. The Application Streaming feature of Presentation Server offers a compelling solution for centrally delivering all Windows-based applications to both Presentation Server environments and to desktops.
SIMPLIFY MANAGEMENT, CUT COSTS
Application Streaming reduces the cost of testing, installing and supporting applications. Applications are streamed to a protected, isolation environment, greatly simplifying application management.
Application Streaming enables IT to
- Eliminate application conflicts and operating system instability resulting from desktop application installation
- Reduce the costs associated with regression testing, deployment, maintenance, updates, and de-provisioning for applications being run locally on users’ machines
- Enable IT to offer applications as an on-demand service
- Lower application support costs by automatically updating and repairing applications every time they are used
- Speed regulatory compliance by eliminating the need for extensive testing to certify applications
- Enhance security by giving IT administrators complete control over applications delivered to desktops, even those of unmanaged partners and users
