visibility into the end-user application experience and comprehensive Web application security in
concert with advanced traffic management. Citrix NetScaler is an ideal solution for any enterprise
seeking accelerated Web application performance, improved Web application security and increased
application availability.
•Citrix Access Gateway™ is an SSL VPN that securely delivers applications with policy-based
SmartAccess control. Users have easy-to-use secure access to the applications and data they need to be
productive. Organizations can cost effectively extend access to datacenter resources from outside the
office, while maintaining unprecedented control through comprehensive SmartAccess policies.
•Citrix® WANScaler™ solutions provide high-performance application delivery to branch office users.
WANScaler accelerates application performance across wide area networks, or WANs. With
WANScaler in the network, end-users in the branch office experience local area network-line
application performance over the WAN, which means less time waiting for slow applications and more
time using the application. Citrix WANScaler accelerates applications to branch offices of all sizes,
datacenters, and mobile workers. The AutoOptimizer Engine, which serves as the cornerstone of the
WANScaler architecture, offers flexible deployment options. The WANScaler client software
accelerates remote users in home offices and on the road, while users in larger branch offices are
supported with WANScaler appliances.
Desktop Virtualization
•Citrix® XenDesktop™, announced in October 2007 and scheduled to ship in the first half of 2008, is
designed to overcome the challenges of cost, complexity and user experience that have prevented
virtual desktops from becoming a mainstream enterprise reality in the past. Citrix XenDesktop will be a
fully integrated desktop delivery system, moving beyond the limitations of existing virtual desktop
infrastructure, or VDI, point solutions to ensure the simple, secure, fast delivery of Windows desktops
to any office worker over any network. Citrix XenDesktop will combine a powerful desktop delivery
controller, based on Citrix Desktop Server™ with native ICA® protocol support, Xen virtualization
infrastructure for hosting any number of virtual desktops in the datacenter, and virtual desktop
provisioning to stream a single desktop image on-demand to multiple virtual machines in the
datacenter, based on Citrix Provisioning Server™.
Virtualization and Management Systems
Our Virtualization and Management Systems are focused on developing and marketing technologies and
solutions and products for server virtualization, and application performance monitoring.
Server Virtualization
•Citrix®XenServer™ is an enterprise-class platform for managing server virtualization in the datacenter
as a flexible aggregated pool of computing and storage resources. Based on the high-performance Xen
virtualization engine, Citrix XenServer combines comprehensive server virtualization capabilities with
scalability, performance and ease-of-use. The product line ranges from Citrix XenServer Express
Edition, a single-server solution available for free download, to the more comprehensive Citrix
XenServer Enterprise Edition, formerly XenEnterprise. In early 2008, we announced XenServer
Platinum edition, which addresses both virtual and physical servers.
•Citrix Provisioning Server™ enables IT organizations to dynamically stream datacenter and desktop
operating systems and workloads to both virtual and physical machines from a central location. The
solution enables more agile and cost-effective delivery of applications and desktops, and complements
XenServer.
