Citrix Branch Repeater, a key component of HDX, is a product family comprised of Branch Repeater appliances for branch offices, Repeater appliances for datacenters and a Repeater Plug-in for Citrix Receiver. Together these form a complete WAN optimization solution that extends beyond the branch office, across the entire enterprise. Unlike other WAN optimization solutions, only Branch Repeater includes ICA acceleration powered by HDX IntelliCache and HDX Broadcast technologies to optimize virtual application delivery. Branch Repeater is easy to deploy and can be centrally managed through a single management console.

Branch Office

60% of IT users work in a branch office. Branch Repeater and Repeater appliances auto-discover each other to accelerate, compress and prioritize applications delivered to the branch office. Branch Repeater with Windows Server appliances combine these same application acceleration and ICA acceleration benefits with natively integrated branch services.

Remote and Mobile Users

IT users are increasingly mobile and routinely operate as an “office of one” working from home, on the road or at a customer site. The Repeater Plug-in for Citrix Receiver pairs with a Repeater appliance in the datacenter to bring application acceleration benefits directly to an individual PC. The Repeater Plug-in is compatible with leading VPN solutions including Citrix Access Gateway.  

Datacenter Replication

Resilient application delivery requires replicating the entire application infrastructure in the datacenter to one or more disaster recovery sites. The same Repeater appliance in the datacenter that provides application acceleration for branch and mobile users also accelerates traffic to remote disaster recovery sites, cutting data replication windows from hours to minutes.
