Branch Office Computing

Accelerating Growth through Branch Office Expansion
Citrix makes it easy for IT to add value to the business by quickly opening new offices, getting them up and running fast without reinventing the wheel each time. IT executives and their teams can cost-effectively and productively optimize branch office operations along with large data centres, helping the business accelerate growth by reaching more customers and serving them better.

With Citrix’s solution from I-KONIC, you can

• Help the business move fast, by reducing the time and cost of delivering Windows applications from months to days or hours
• Let everyone work anywhere, with secure centralized information
• Accelerate all applications over any WAN, anywhere, from any datacentre, anywhere, by optimizing the broadband connection between the branch office and the enterprise datacentre without modifying any network components
• Centralize Windows applications on servers managed by IT, making it easy and cost effective to update applications at all branch offices and other distant locations
• Know what’s happening at the workers’ end, by measuring performance and availability from the users’ perspective, wherever they are working and without leaving the office
• Accelerate performance from data centre Web applications, reducing cost of operation by reducing server workload
• Centralize data security, with policy-driven access to applications that gives IT control over the data, including how the data are used and where they are stored
• Switch to a virtualized browser for fast action and high productivity, with only one browser that’s installed and configured by the IT staff centrally for all branch offices and other distant locations
• Meet special requirements for browser security because the cache which usually stores visited Web pages and cookies on the client is located on the application server, beyond the reach of hackers and close to IT security expertise
• Reduce data security risks when delivering Windows desktops, by centralizing end-user desktops and data in the datacentre, thereby retaining control of the IP and reducing the security risk of data loss at the endpoint
• Deliver desktop applications without worrying about application and system conflicts and without lowering security standards, by streaming applications to a protected isolation environment, rather than installing them on a user’s device
• Quickly distribute patches for Windows applications to hundreds of servers and thousands of clients because applications are located on centralized servers managed directly by IT department, so each patch only has to be installed once
• Keep everyone productive with instant application availability, by simply creating new user accounts to give new employees, partners or outsourcers role-based access to all Windows applications
• Increase collaboration among employees, partners and outsourcers, by centralizing Windows applications and data so everyone can work with the same information
• Strengthen security for Windows application delivery with secure logons, delivered via the Single Sign On option
