Increase availability and reduce costs with the XenServer virtualization platform

 

Citrix XenServer is now available as a no-cost download, and includes enterprise-class features such as XenMotion live migration, multi-server administration and full support for Windows and Linux workloads. XenServer has been specifically optimized for use with XenApp using special virtual machine templates and one-click optimization options to make implementation of XenApp a snap. XenApp workloads can be virtualized with as little as 7% overhead compared to a physical server, and with as many as 48% more users as compared with alternative server virtualization solutions. Consolidating XenApp workloads using XenServer can reduce server count by up to 75% and power consumption by up to 60%. Learn more.

Manage your entire XenApp farm from a single server image with Provisioning services

 

Provisioning services in XenApp 5 Feature Pack enables you to manage your entire server farm using a single standard server image. The combination of XenServer, Provisioning Services and application streaming enable you to create a true dynamic data center where physical or virtual XenApp servers can be assembled on-demand and capacity can be quickly expanded to address business needs such as mergers and acquisitions, branch office openings or high-transaction quarter-end cycles. The combined solution also enables higher availability by making it easier to re-provision your production environment to a backup data center. If a single server fails, Provisioning services lets you restore it to a clean state with a simple reboot.

Transform capacity planning into an exact science with Load testing services

 

Load testing services eliminates the guesswork of capacity planning with integrated server sizing and load testing tools. This easy-to-master solution lets administrators create realistic test scenarios through a visual scripting interface. The scripts are then run against your XenApp servers and simulate user activity to determine benchmark capacity. Using Load testing services and Service monitoring together can also help pinpoint performance bottlenecks before implementing new applications and configuration changes.

Deliver more applications to more users

 

Prior to XenApp 5 Feature Pack, supporting offline application access with XenApp necessitated the purchase of add-on licenses. Furthermore, Application streaming was available only to Enterprise and Platinum customers. With XenApp 5 Feature Pack, Application streaming is now available in all editions of XenApp and extended to all users accessing online applications. This means that you can now deliver any application to any XenApp user — even when they are offline.

Reduce password related support costs for both online and offline applications

 

XenApp Platinum customers can now provide Single sign-on capabilities for all XenApp users in their environment. This simplifies user access and extends the cost-savings and security benefits of Single sign-on to any XenApp user, even when using applications that are streamed and accessed on their local desktop PC.

Reduce logon times and increase profile reliability with Profile management

 

Profile management minimizes profile administration and provides users a faster login and consistent experience with personalized settings that are always present, regardless of location or device. Profile management maintains consistency and reliability of environment and application settings as user’s access applications from many different devices, locations and Windows operating systems. It also optimizes profile size to maintain fast logon times and minimize storage requirements.

Reduce data center and telecommunications costs with EasyCall voice services

 

EasyCall voice services reduces telecommunications costs by enabling remote and mobile users to leverage corporate long-distance calling rates by using the corporate telephony system to place phone calls. EasyCall voice services is now available at no additional charge in all editions of XenApp. Also available at no additional charge is the new EasyCall virtual appliance that eliminates the need to maintain a dedicated physical device in your data center to reduce power consumption and data center foot print. The new click-to-conference feature also lets users initiate conference calls for up to 50 people without the need for pay-by-the-minute conferencing services. View a demo.
