Deliver any application with 100% compatibility

Only XenApp 5 gives you the broadest application virtualization options for the most dynamic application delivery with nearly 100% application compatibility. Host your applications on central servers for online delivery from Windows Server 2003 or 2008 with support for mixed server farms. Stream your applications to hosting servers or directly to the user device for offline delivery. Now with XenApp 5 Feature Pack 2, VM hosted apps even lets you host your applications on centralized virtual machines running Windows XP, Windows Vista or even Windows 7. XenApp 5 is truly the most flexible and dynamic application virtualization solution available today.

Simplify deployment with single instance management

Virtualizing applications with XenApp 5 means you can manage your applications and servers from a single instance. A new application profiler makes it possible for a single application profile to support any server or client Windows operating system, including Windows 7. In addition, you can manage and roll out your entire XenApp server farm from a single standard server image and provision virtual and physical servers on-demand.

Measure, monitor, and support with advanced management

Managing your server farm just became easier with XenApp 5. Simply size your servers using integrated Load testing services and deploy your entire farm with Provisioning services. What’s more, Load testing services helps you determine the right mix of physical and virtual servers to deploy while XenServer virtualization provides an enterprise-class, cloud-proven server virtualization platform for your XenApp server farm. Optimize farm performance with Power and capacity management which automatically powers down servers when not in use or during scheduled maintenance windows. You can even improve performance for your most critical applications and users with Preferential load balancing. To top it all off, Workflow studio orchestration lets you create custom workflows to automate and delegate management tasks. It’s easy to see how XenApp 5 really does help you do more with less.

Optimize performance with a high definition user experience

Citrix HDX technology makes XenApp the only option for delivering high quality, high definition access to virtual applications.

HDX Plug and Play gives users true on-demand access to USB drives and special folders like My Documents, even from within active online applications.
