Citrix Access Essentials

Detailed Features:

Access Essentials 2.0 can now grow in place from one to two or more machines, constituting a centrally managed and co-located server group. In multi-server configurations, one server is designated as the “master server”. It is the central point for administration using the Quick Start tool. The master makes load balancing decisions as well as runs user applications.

There can be any number of “support servers” whose primary responsibility is to run applications and store files. Support servers may take over for a master server should it fail or be taken down for maintenance. Single server deployments continue to be supported and benefit from most of the other features described in this section.

Version 2.0 can now operate in two modes either basic or advanced. Basic mode keeps it
simple for single server deployments and will be familiar to users of previous versions of
Access Essentials.

Advanced mode turns on multi-server features such as

• load balancing
• profile management
• master server failover

A new wizard swiftly guides administrators through the expansion from a single server to a
multi-server configuration. For a full list of features, go to the features and benefits guide on

Citrix Access Essentials frees you to:

PROVIDE TRANSPARENT AND CONVENIENT ACCESS — FROM ANYWHERE
In a growing business, your employees are always on the go — visiting customers, scouting new locations, putting in late hours at home. Access Essentials seamlessly extends their workplace so they can get to key applications like sales force automation, order processing and inventory systems without having to come into the main office.

ROLL OUT AND MANAGE APPLICATIONS QUICKLY AND EASILY
You can’t afford the costs, disruption and delays of frequent application updates on every user’s equipment, especially when each has different hardware and software configurations. With Access Essentials you do updates once, centrally. That means everyone immediately has access to the new version. And migrations that used to require months now take minutes. And your central support person won’t need to visit users to give them a hand. Instead, the built-in remote shadowing feature allows the support person to see what a user is seeing, or even take over the keyboard and mouse to get everyone back on track.

PROTECT YOUR PRICELESS INFORMATION
Safeguarding your valuable information can mean denying access to valid users for fear of unauthorized break-ins, viruses and spyware, or even the possibility that authorized users are doing unauthorized things. Not anymore. Access Essentials enables you to assign specific applications, folders and websites just to the users you choose. Others won’t even know that these items exist. For these permitted resources, you can control whether users can save or print information locally. And of course, Access Essentials scrambles all remote transmissions with secure encryption so your communications remain private, even over the very public Internet.
