Citrix Branch Repeater

Multi-User Optimization for XenApp

ICA acceleration speeds application launch, printing, file transfers and more over the same network bandwidth.

Citrix Branch Repeater™ is a branch optimization solution that accelerates application delivery to branch office users while dramatically reducing network bandwidth requirements and simplifying branch IT infrastructure. Branch Repeater dramatically increases productivity by providing a high definition user experience over any network. Branch Repeater also reduces costs by improving utilization of existing network bandwidth and by streamlining branch IT start-up and management.

The Branch Repeater product family addresses the full range of enterprise user scenarios and delivers unparalleled application acceleration and WAN optimization benefits—especially for Citrix XenApp™.

Support more users on existing network bandwidth

Unlike traditional WAN optimization solutions, only Branch Repeater incorporates Citrix HDX™ technologies to optimize virtual application delivery. HDX IntelliCache provides local caching and de-duplication across multiple XenApp user sessions and local staging of XenApp streamed applications. HDX Broadcast ensures reliable, high-performance of virtual applications over any network, including high-latency and low-bandwidth environments. Together these capabilities deliver breakthrough ICA aceleration and allow IT to support up to 4X more XenApp users in each branch office without upgrading network bandwidth.

Application acceleration means ‘no compromise’ IT consolidation

Branch Repeater also provides application acceleration benefits for other centralized applications delivered to the branch office including file sharing, e-mail and enterprise Web applications. Only Branch Repeater optimizes the delivery of hosted, streamed and native applications, thereby helping customers accelerate their IT consolidation initiatives while ensuring a high-performance experience in the branch office. To further enable consolidation within the branch, Branch Repeater can deliver essential branch IT services such as file, print, authentication, and core network services such as DHCP and DNS, all provided by Microsoft® Windows Server®.
