Citrix Receiver
|
As long as employees have Citrix Receiver installed, IT no longer has to worry about whether they are delivering to a PC in the office, a Mac at home, or an iPhone on the road. This approach radically simplifies desktop management for IT and gives end users far more flexibility and independence in how and where they work. The one-time setup for Citrix Receiver is fast and familiar - much like installing a player for Adobe Flash™ or Apple QuickTime™. Users simply point their browser to a website provided to them by their IT department and follow the easy step-by-step instructions. Going from a fresh new PC or laptop to a fully provisioned user with all applications and desktops ready to use, typically requires less than 15 minutes. Once installed, Receiver is always up-to-date as the latest versions of client software and plug-ins are automatically pushed to all users based upon the policies set-up by IT and preferences chosen by the user. Check it out. Citrix Receiver helps your IT organization leverage the full value of the Citrix Delivery Center:

Citrix Receiver is a new lightweight software client that makes accessing virtual applications and desktops on any device as easy as turning on your TV. See how it works. Much like a satellite or cable TV receiver in a broadcast media service, Citrix Receiver allows IT organizations to deliver desktops and applications as an on-demand service to any device in any location with a rich "high definition" experience.

Citrix should put a little more effort in developing applications for the enterprise such as the blackberry.. which is the standard across many organizations.. the iphone is a nice toy that is not yet a completely secure and manageable enterprise device.

For all of you Blackberry owners out there, let me tell you something. In the Medical field Blackberries do not rule! For years it's been Palm, now many of us are moving to Apple and the iPhone.
In regards to security, perhaps one of you can prove how insecure the iPhone actually is. Perhaps you can show us how Apps, confined to a Sandbox, can actually compromise the workplace. Don't delude yourselves, the iPhone is as elegant as it is useful; refined as it is ruthless and produces a much more enjoyable end user experience when compared to the Blackberry. If you doubt this, perhaps you should take a look at the various "emulators/pretenders to the throne" devices that even Blackberry has begun to make.

Their "latest and greatest", the Storm doesn't even scratch the iPhone and most users I have spoken with prefer the Storm as an executive paperweight rather than enterprise tool.
By making this app for the iPhone, Citrix are backing the enterprise device of tomorrow, today. Don't get me wrong, I think BB are great - in their element - outside of e-mail, telephone and calender they're nothing compared to Apple's iPhone.
Apple's touch technology, user friendly interface (not to mention it's a product that works and is reliable) makes it streets ahead of the competition and realistically the only device that can currently handle Citrix Reciever in such a way that it is a pleasure to use.

I don't want to disappoint all you Blackberry fans out there, but the fact is that yes, the Blackberry is big in US companies. -But it has not really gotten its breakthrough here in Europe as of yet. In addition to that, I believe most Blackberry owners are somewhat ignorant as to what kind of phone they have. It is company standard, and that's it. With iPhone, on the other hand, the ballgame is quite different. Almost NO companies have standardized on iPhones, which means that those who own iPhones are more likely to be technology enthusiasts, who would appreciate apps like the receiver. -Which again is more likely to create the marketing fuzz that Citrix are trying to acheive with the iPhone receiver. -Just my 2 cents worth...

The point is that many organistaions have massive investment in Blackberry's and associated backend infrastructure and are not about to abandon them in favour of iPhones.
(however if i was to get drawn on the point, the iPhone is pretty and adaptable but is too big for us non handbag carrying blokes, blackberry is IMHO an bloody awful phone but comes in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit all tastes and needs.)

Their bloated service plans are priced out of the range of the normal consumer who needs to use his phone for work but doesn't have service provided by his company.
The other killer on the iPhone is the touchscreen. Too hard to work with compared to a keypad, especially in very sunny environments.

It just does not make sense when Blackberry is the choice of enterprise and there is not a Citrix appliation for it while iPhone as a more consumer based phone has an application as such from Citrix. It just doesn't add up.

However; after researching, it seems the real value of the product will only be realized when it supports all of the available Citrix clients that can be downloaded independently including, end point analysis clients and the SSL VPN clients that support Citrix Enterprise Access Gateways (version 8 and 9) and Netscalers.
In addition, there seems no point of installing the Receiver client unless you also implement the highly recommended and dependent Merchandising server which pushed the required plug-ins to the workstations with the receiver client installed.
I also noticed that the Merchandising Server download is only for Citrix Xen Server. In my environment we use Hyper-V.
If anyone, has successfully tested the Citrix Receiver product please let me know your results.
Citrix, please let us know what improvements we can expect in the near future to address the items I listed above regarding available plug-ins and the merchandising server dependency on Xen Server.
According to the documents, many functions with the Receiver client do not work if the merchandising server is not installed also. Is there any reason to install the Citrix receiver client without the merchandising server?
Thanks in advance for everyones comments.
