Oracle EBS 12.1 runs on XenApp

Citrix XenApp™, a member of the Citrix Delivery Center™ product family, is the industry's de facto standard for delivering Windows-based applications with the best performance, security and cost savings. XenApp is the most complete application virtualization system available with the ability to virtualize applications on both the client side and server side, delivering them on demand based on the user, the application or the location (online or offline).

By centralizing applications and data in secure datacenters, IT can reduce the costs of management and support, increase data security and facilitate business continuity. XenApp Platinum Edition adds critical capabilities for application performance monitoring, secure remote access, WAN optimization and single-sign-on application security.

Citrix XenApp is compatible with Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1. Organizations of any size can deploy XenApp on industry standard servers anywhere in the datacenter, on a single server or across all cloud computing datacenters. This simple integration takes Enterprise applications into the virtual realm, allowing customers to run Oracle on Virtual Machines, within XenServer, delivered to the end user through XenApp.

Oracle EBS 12.1 is integrated with Citrix NetScaler

Deployed in front of Web servers, NetScaler application delivery controller models combine load balancing and content switching. Potential benefits include application acceleration, content caching, SSL acceleration, network optimization, and application performance monitoring in a single built-for-purpose hardware platform. Unlike other approaches that require multiple point products, NetScaler is an all-in-one appliance that is easy to deploy, configure, and operate with AppExpert Visual Policy Builder GUI-based tools, AppExpert Templates, and multiple wizards.

NetScaler 9.1 is available in both hardware-based (NetScaler MPX) and application-based deployments (NetScaler VPX). All deployment options available in version 9.1 are compatible with Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1. Organizations of any size can deploy NetScaler VPX on industry standard servers anywhere in the datacenter. NetScaler VPX enables load balancing, application acceleration, application security and server offload to become virtual appliance-based services that can be easily and dynamically deployed; on-demand and anywhere in the datacenter. Whether installed on a single server or across all cloud computing datacenters.

I have two very exciting announcement to make here: 1) Access Essentials 3.0 for Windows Server 2008 reached RTM, and 2) the launch of Access Essentials at Microsoft Virtual Launch Event for Essential Server Solutions on Nov 12.

Citrix Access Essentials 3.0 for Windows Server 2008 has achieved Release To Manufacturing (RTM). This is a major milestone for this remote access solution targeted at small businesses. Earlier this year, I posted about a number of features/enhancements that will be available in this release on Windows Server 2008, including support for Windows Server 2008, SpeedScreen technologies, as well as integration with Microsoft's new mid-size business offering - Windows  Essentials Business Servers (EBS). I want to focus on our integration with EBS - see a screenshot below. Notice Citrix Servers, Sessions, Applications and Licenses tab - they enable IT generalists to manage their day-to-day Access Essentials operations (add/remove users to applications deliver by CAE, shadow users to help expedite helpdesk support, and more) right from the Essential Business Server management console. 

This integration is especially critical for mid-size businesses, where you have maybe 1 or 2 IT generalists covering a wide range of IT task. That means IT generalists at small and mid-size organization will have a single, seamless management experience for application delivery (via CAE), and their email, system, security (via EBS).

For small to mid-size business looking for a secure, remote access solution, I would encourage you to sign up for the Microsoft Virtual Launch Event for Essential Server Solutions on November 12! The Access Essentials team will be on-hand, virtually, to answer your questions. Register now for Windows Essentials Server Solutions Virtual Launch Event!
