Ever got frustrated with how long it takes to email a large report or presentation after incorporating your manager's feedback? Or found yourself in a plane wishing the email downloaded faster when the flight attendant asks you to turn off your 3G-equipped laptop? Or wished for a solution that could deliver email 50 times faster?
Did you know our WAN optimization solution, Citrix Branch Repeater, delivers superior user experience and application performance not only for branch office users but also for remote and teleworkers?
No one feels the need for speed more than a remote user or a teleworker with a low-bandwidth or a high- latency network connection. These users typically use an SSL VPN, such as Citrix Access Gateway, to connect to their corporate network and access email, intranet portals, other applications and data. When your IT augments secure remote access (Access Gateway) infrastructure with Branch Repeater, you can benefit from both secure and accelerated remote access.
Well, now we have two reports that demonstrate ways to use Branch Repeater to augment your Access Gateway infrastructure and the resulting benefits of accelerating secure remote access.
You can download the Turbocharge Access Gateway Performance Report - CTX121034 from the Citrix Knowledge Center. The report explores the benefits of using Access Gateway and Repeater plug-ins for Citrix Receiver together:
• 50x faster Microsoft Outlook and Exchange (MAPI) workflows
• 50x faster Microsoft SharePoint (HTTP) workflows
• 30x faster Windows File Shares (CIFS) workflows
I think you will want to try out the benefits of turbocharged remote access. Check out the Turbocharge Access Gateway Deployment Guide and Reference Architecture - CTX121035 if you want to conduct a POC (proof of concept) or a demo to convince your IT or other decision makers. You will be your end-users hero for providing them with an accelerated yet secure remote access.
Earlier this week, we launched version 1.0.2 of the Citrix Receiver for iPhone. Citrix Access Gateway expands support for Receiver to connect to Access Gateway Enterprise Edition (versions 8.1.57 / 9.0.69 / 9.1.95) in addition to the Access Gateway Standard Edition that was already available. With this release, Access Gateway further enhances mobility by offering secure mobile access on iPhone for the Enterprise Edition.
Citrix Receiver is our lightweight software client that makes accessing virtual applications and desktops on any device simple and easy. It brings together multiple application delivery clients in one single client - all updated automatically, while greatly simplifying client distribution and updates for the IT administrators.
If you are an iPhone user, you will find this latest release very useful. The app is now available to the general public via AppStore on your iPhone or iPod Touch. More importantly, as a corporate user, you will find Doc Finder a 'must-have' for your iPhone. Part of Citrix Receiver, Doc Finder provides fast, one-click access to important documents stored on the corporate network. You can even join a webinar from anywhere - straight from your iPhone. Since these documents are stored in the datacenter and delivered over a secure encrypted link, data and applications always remain completely secure.
Best,
