Becoming an On-Demand Enterprise

What is Access Infrastructure?

Citrix access infrastructure is a single, integrated and consistent access infrastructure for the on-demand enterprise that:

• Gives workers secure, easy and instant access to enterprise applications, information, processes and people, no matter where they are located, from anywhere, at anytime, using any device, over any connection.
• Enables IT staff to manage heterogeneity by enabling the centralized management of applications, simplifying their deployment, monitoring and measurement.
• Ensures that only the right people have access to the right resources to protect the security of enterprise information assets.

Citrix access infrastructure is packaged and sold as the Citrix MetaFrame Access Suite. Each component product - MetaFrame Presentation Server, MetaFrame Secure Access Manager, MetaFrame Password Manager, and MetaFrame Conferencing Manager - solves a particular access challenge for an organization, while all of the components work together seamlessly to power the on-demand enterprise.

By implementing an access strategy with access infrastructure, CIOs can transform their organization into an on-demand enterprise that offers secure, easy and instant access to information, improving business agility and driving growth.

Most complete solution for on-demand access to business information

Introducing Citrix MetaFrame Access Suite 4.0

In the new 4.0, the Access Suite bundles into a scalable, flexible access platform the next generation of three Citrix product lines: Citrix Presentation Server, Citrix Access Gateway and Citrix Password Manager. Citrix Access Suite 4.0 provides an always-on connection to information - whether data, voice or people. It is secure by design, consolidates access into a central location for more efficient management and effective control, provides a robust and resilient foundation that scales and adapts to support business change and growth, and automatically adjusts to thousands of dynamically changing access scenarios.

Benefits

• Provide secure remote access to any resource, for any user, anywhere - This means everything from centralized applications hosted on Citrix Presentation Server to network resources, Web applications, e-mail, and even IP telephony.
• Shield users from the complexity of connecting - Citrix SmartAccess capability senses the users' access scenario as they connect and automatically responds by filtering, re-routing and re-factoring their access interface.
• Keep mobile, roaming, and wireless users connected - Citrix SmoothRoaming technology makes sure the users' connection is Always-on as they move from device to device, wired to wireless, office to office, site to site.
• Make life easier for users - With integrated single sign-on, users can access all applications with a single password.

Manage, monitor, and measure access - from one console:

• Make access management a snap - Give new users access instantly, deploy applications immediately, control access and password policies holistically, and configure action control easily, all with the Citrix access management console. Simply snap it in to the Microsoft Management Console.
  
• Propel application deployment - Deploy any Windows, Web, or UNIX application to one user or every user in minutes or hours, instead of days or weeks.
  
• Operate IT like a business - With visibility into user activity, system performance and capacity, and IT service usage, the IT group can introduce utility-style cost-center billing, proactively manage Service Level Agreements (SLA), forecast capacity planning, and intelligently consolidate applications and servers.

Deliver access with security that's built in

- not an afterthought

• Secure by design - Overcome the security gaps of solutions created with piece-part technologies from multiple vendors with Citrix's unified approach to access security.
  
  
• Granular access control - Configure and manage policies for all aspects of access, from end-point security to password management and file-level control.
  
  
• Centralized access architecture - Keep all information safely protected within the data center while maintaining its accessibility from anywhere

Run IT for less - and support business initiatives instead:
