Does your business have staff working on
the road, at home or from branch offices? Yes? Then Citrix Access Essentials can help. Citrix Access Essentials for Windows Server 2003
will give your staff, customers or suppliers
controlled secure access to critical business
applications and information from wherever
whenever they are working, with the IT resources
you already have, at a price you can afford. Citrix Access Essentials 2.0 New Features and Benefits Citrix Access Essentials is the easiest,
most cost-effective, off-the-shelf software enabling
5 to 75 persons to remotely use corporate
Windows programs conveniently and securely over
the Web. Unlike inferior alternatives, it performs
well across slow connections, strict network firewalls
and non-Windows computers without needing to
rewrite applications upgrade PCs or increase
bandwidth. Its simple role-based rules control which
central resources individuals see and where they store
and print sensitive information. Newly arriving Internet
and internal LAN users are automatically load-balanced
among available application servers, bypassing
any failed or offline machines. The product comes
with or without Microsoft Terminal Server Client Access
Licenses (TS CALS) What's New in Version 2.0 Citrix Access Essentials 2.0 introduces numerous
enhancements to what is already a comprehensive
remote access solution. Many of the new features
comprise higher levels of software intelligence to
automate administrative tasks, particularly as the
environment expands beyond a single server. They
add up to a richer, more robust access experience with
fewer interruptions for the entire organisation... and
less work for the system administrator. One or More Servers Access Essentials can now grow in place from one or
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. Two Modes: Basic and Advanced Access Essentials can be operated in either basic or
advanced mode. Basic mode keeps it simple for
single server deployments. Advanced mode turns
on multi-server features such as load balancing,
profiles management, and master server failover.
A new wizard swiftly guides administrators through
the expansion from a single user to a multi-server
configuration. New Features in Citrix Access Essentials 2.0 - Automatic load balancing across 2 or more servers
