Let Citrix
Access Suite improve your organization by:
The ability to deploy essential IT applications and services
from a single server enables the SMB to centralize the
support of one set of applications which it can make
available to all its employees. This assures that critical line of-
business applications are always available, separating
them from dependence on individual endpoint platforms
such as distributed, mobile or personal computing
systems. This further reduces IT support dependencies on
maintaining the most current investments in distributed
personal hardware and software operating environments.
When applications can be published to a browser accessible
from anywhere, the browser itself becomes the endpoint,
regardless of the underlying platform. The high flexibility
of browsers as secure networking platforms further reduces
the burdens of secure remote connectivity, when browser native
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connectivity can assure
that access remains confidential. The integrated SSL server
packaged with Access Essentials can be reliably set up
within minutes, with an SSL server certificate being the only
outside resource necessary to obtain before deployment.
While the readily deployed availability and maintainability of
essential line-of-business applications is the primary value
of Citrix Access Essentials to the SMB, small- to medium sized
businesses will also discover that Access Essentials
also delivers value in the centralization of IT resources.
When a single server can be relied upon not only for data
management but for application deployment, connectivity,
and virtually all other system resources necessary to enable
the business to be IT-competitive,” the SMB will quickly
realize that Citrix Access Essentials can answer a host of
its most fundamental IT challenges. The only drawback
to this approach is the dependence on a single point of
potential failure—but this risk can be readily mitigated
through a simple backup strategy, the availability of an
additional Access Essentials server—which can be just as
easily deployed—or a managed IT service offering made
available through a Citrix value-added reseller.
