Citrix as a Service
So, what is citrix? You might know them for Citrix Receiver, or maybe for their application hosting abilities. We utilize Citrix for something a little different.
Citrix is the best of the best when it comes to desktop virtualization. They even designed their own protocol (graphic), ICA protocol.
ICA is much more friendly and efficient than what most cloud providers use, RDP.
This is the secret sauce behind our solution. Utilizing Citrix, we can bring you a virtual desktop solution that’s
-secure
-easy to manage
-and easily overcomes latency issues.
Citrix, along with our other partners, are what make us different. We strive to deliver the best cloud platform available.
Citrix Delivery
Citix ICA is a proprietary protocol designed for passing data between server and clients. It is not bound to any one platform, enabling ordinary Windows applications to be run on a Windows server, and for any supported client to gain access to those applications. Besides Windows, ICA is also supported on Mac, Unix, Linux, and most tablets and smartphones.Receiver Access - After navigating to their provider's customized login gateway, users will be prompted to install the Citrix plugin. If it's the first time accessing CloudConnect from a specific device, users may follow the prompts and install the plugin. Once installed, users may enter their login credentials and launch their Cloud Desktop.
Web Access- To access the platform directly using HTML5 web access (no plug-in required), users may navigate to the CloudConnect logon access gateway. From here, users may enter their logon credentials and launch the Cloud Desktop. This is ideal for use with devices that do not allow installation locally, such as Chromebooks or kiosk workstations.
