Optimization of ICA Connections for Wireless Wide Area Networks and Other
Millions of MetaFrame users today access their applications over a local area network LAN . Thanks to the low latency and high bandwidth afforded by the LAN, the user's experience is normally indistinguishable from having the applications running locally on a PC. As we move outside of the LAN though, the connection choices for users to connect to their SBC applications in many geographies are slim, and the relatively new solutions offered by wireless WAN wWAN carriers like DirecPC satellite and...
CMEMEX LAN Hardware
CME-MEX is the first enterprise LAN that requires a Layer 3 switching solution. The majority of the 300 users are associated with the manufacturing floor and need only occasional LAN or Citrix access hence the reallocation of switches from CME Corp meets the requirements.

Windows Server Migration
An on-demand entergrise simplifies Active Directory design and implementation by eliminating some, or all, of the requirement Vor remote office domain controllers. The MetaFrame Access Suite enables organizations to present the same Windows or browser interface to users as they would see when running Windows XP locally. Organizations can essentially upgrade all of their users to Windows XP without uegrading and in some cases without even toeching a single def ktop. Migrating to Windows Server...

Enabling Data Compression
Data compression improves user experience for low-bandwidth connections. The ICA client compresses the data on the client side, and the MetaFrame server decompresses the data on the server side. This compression and decompression inflicts a processor performance penalty on both the server and the client, but with the current processor power available on both sides, this penalty is negligible. Citrix's internal test statistics show that ICA compression produces an average ratio of two to one,...
CCS Citrix Migration Methodology
The CCS migration methodology is made up of the following five main phases n Analysis In addition to the five main phases, a management checkpoint is included at the end of each phase to review deliverables and assess overall project status. Project management is also required throughout each phase. The CCS migration methodology is depicted in Figure 20-1. Figure 20-1 The CCS migration methodology The five phases of the CCS methodology are explained in the following sections. Analysis The...
Overview Ach
Disaster recovery and business continuity jumped into the spotlight in the wake of the September 11 terrorist strikes, 2001 California power outages, and 2003 East Coast blackout. Unfortunately, many unople think otthese events and assume that it will never happen to them. Indeed, statistically, most organizations will never experience a major geopolitical or natural disaster. On the other hand, the likelihood of business interruption due to normal day-to-day activities such as employee...
Enabling SpeedScreen Latency Reduction
Citrix developed the SpeedScreen latency features to improve the user experience over high-latency connections. SpeedScreen improves the user experience by providing immediate mouse and keyboard feedback to the client, effectively making the connection appear real-time even when it is significantly delayed. Latency reduction is available only if a client is connecting to a server that is configured for latency reduction. SpeedScreen is set and configured both at the server side and on the...
StepbyStep Installation of MetaFrame Web Interface
These steps provide a detailed installation gride for Web Interface 2. If you are installing the Web Interface from the Components CD-ROM, insert the CD-ROM in your web server's CD drive. The Citrix MetaFrame XP Components dialog box appears. Select the Web Interface option. If you downloaded Web Interface from a download site, copy the file NFuseClassic20-IIS.msi to your web server. Double-click the file. 3. The Installation Wizard guides you through the installation process. 4. On the Welcome...
