Citrix products help increase the productivity of students and staff, and lets educational institutions decrease the time and cost of protecting and delivering desktops, applications and information. IT teams can help achieve objectives by safeguarding IT assets and confidential data using features that guarantee improved security and are available at every critical point in the delivery infrastructure, from the cloud to the datacenter to the desktop.

On the desktop

Citrix XenDesktop

Citrix XenDesktop desktop virtualization and on-demand applications by XenApp allow students and staff to access desktops and applications from any location or device. Because desktops, applications and data reside in the datacenter, IT can manage access to these resources based on the access context. By centralizing resource management with XenDesktop, schools can reduce total operational costs by up to 40 percent.

GoToMeeting

GoToMeeting allows faculty to hold virtual meetings with students, simulating the classroom environment by allowing students to share applications and view resources for real-time collaboration.

GoToWebinar

GoToWebinar provides the ability for faculty to present unlimited webinars to students with up to 1,000 attendees in any location, for example, to deliver a series of sessions for an e-learning course to a large number of dispersed students.

In the datacenter

Citrix NetScaler

Citrix NetScaler protects against application and network-layer threats with integrated web application firewall and Denial of Service (DoS) attack prevention services. NetScaler also provides secure application access through an AAA (authentication, authorization and accounting) and SSL VPN module and advanced logging and auditing features to monitor web application activity.

Citrix XenServer

Citrix XenServer allows IT teams to dynamically add servers to a resource pool by creating new virtual machines instead of adding physical servers to meet increased computing demands. Security is never compromised because the virtual machines are completely isolated from one another on each physical server that is used.

Citrix Access Gateway

Citrix Access Gateway gives IT teams granular application-level control while providing students and faculty with remote access from anywhere. It gives IT administrators a single point to manage access control and limit actions within sessions based on both user identity and the endpoint device, providing better application security and data protection. Citrix Access Gateway establishes an encrypted connection to ensure that desktops, applications and information are accessed securely from anywhere. For example, a university student can review her grades for the quarter from a low-bandwidth connection in her dorm room.

In the cloud

Citrix Cloud Solution for On-demand Desktops

Citrix Cloud Solution for On-demand Desktops enables IT teams to deliver complete Windows desktops from the cloud to students and staff anywhere, combining the cost and manageability benefits of virtual desktops with that of cloud capacity on-demand, from public or private clouds.

Citrix Cloud Solution for On-demand Apps

Citrix Cloud Solution for On-demand Apps alleviates the management complexity and business continuity challenges faced when delivering applications to an increasing population of students and faculty across a diverse set of devices. The Citrix Cloud Solution for On-Demand Apps enables applications to be hosted in the cloud and delivered as an on-demand service to users anywhere, on any device.
