Nirvana Phone could let you leave your laptop home

Labels: ica, terminal services, nirvana smartphone, iphone, grp-cto, grp-cdn, grp-ce, grp-xd

As you may have seen in previous blog discussions some of us are very keen on the idea of a device that goes beyond the existing smartphone limitations of small screens and keyboards. The ability to connect to XenApp - XenDesktop from a phone and view it ( & use it ) on a large screen is now possible. This video demos the Nirvana Phone concept with an iMate 6150 and a Redfly from Celio. We are not at Nirvana yet, but these devices make it visible we are getting closer.

Let us know of other candidates for the Nirvana Phone, and what you think is still missing.

Today I have received two new applications to play with; that's exactly what I did.

After installing and playing with both apps, I can say they do exactly what their respective developers advertised. Each can be very useful to deployments and day-to-day admin tasks.

XenApp Fast Publishing

Author: Pierre Marmignon | Citrixtools.net
Description: The XenApp Fast Publishing Tool has been designed to easy applications publication and management on XenApp Environments. It allows multiple apps to be published to one or many servers at once.
Requirements: Windows Server 2003, Windows 200 Server | .NET Framework 2.0
Compatibility: Citrix XenApp 4.0, XenApp 4.5
Download: http://www.citrixtools.net/en/Downloads.aspx | Size: 456 K

XenApp Farm Monitor

Author: Dennis Smith | Gourami.eu
Description: When starting Farm Monitor finds out these key elements of your Citrix farm: Datastore, License Server, and Data Collector(s). After this, Farm Monitors scans every XenApp server in the farm. When all elements of the farm are gathered, Farm Monitor pings these servers to see if they are online/reachable.
Requirements: Windows Server 2003, Windows 200 Server | .NET Framework 2.0
Compatibility: Citrix XenApp 4.0, XenApp 4.5
Download: http://gourami.eu/files/farm_monitor_beta5.zip | Size: 455 K

Kudos to both developers. I hope you guys find these apps usefull, if not, let them know where and how they can improve.

I just came back from BriForum in Chicago and besides the awesome event that was, one more thing came to attention, half of the Notebooks being carried around by attendees and speakers were Macs.

Carried away by the energy of the event I decided build something for our Citrix Community. A dashboard app that makes easier for our visitors to read the latest posts and collaborate with their comments.
