Citrix Virtual Apps Use Cases

Manufacturing

Citrix Virtual Apps offers propitious advantages for the manufacturing venture, which includes improvement in security and centralized application virtualization management. Thus, making a manufacturing industry be able to deliver their legacy custom apps remotely on various offices.  Mostly manufacturing company owns several offices located across the metro and near provinces and may have consolidated their virtualization infrastructure, through Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops.  With anytime, anywhere and any device technology, manufacturing industries may have optimized their users’ productivity by publishing their legacy custom apps and printing their documents remotely across various locations.

Customized Application Virtualization

Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktop administers constant Windows / Linux Apps and legacy custom apps that can be entirely modify to meet the needs of the demanding business requirements anytime, anywhere on any device. Provides cost-effective, locked-down Virtual Apps and Desktops servers that are shared across many users to provide the advantages of app virtualization while maximizing IT control and simplified management. This Citrix Virtual App is a FIPS 140-2 compliant and Common Criteria certified to meet the highest security standards for our clients.

Printer Provisioning

Provisioning is the process that makes printers available in a Citrix session. Printer provisioning is usually managed dynamically. Printing management can be configured to comply on clients’ policies during the established session through log on and reconnection. As a result, the printers can be customized according to their policy, user location, and network changes. Thus, users who roam and posted to different locations will be able print and adopt the customization based on their location.

Retail and Sales

In a time of compressed budgets and new strategic requirements such as mobility and business agility, IT faces increased pressure to do more with less. To lower capital and operating expenses, IT must support users and locations with fewer IT staff, reduce purchases and repurpose existing assets. Enabling alternative work strategies like remote work, virtual offices and BYOD is now a top priority to save on real estate, energy and hardware costs. With Citrix Virtual Apps, IT can shift to a centralized architecture that lowers capital and operating expenses, increases flexibility and improves security.

Cost Reduction

Traditional distributed computing architectures carry a high cost. By installing hardware locally at each location, IT sets itself up for a burdensome and inefficient support model in which personnel must be deployed in every branch or travel from place to place to address problems. Users are limited in the locations where they can work and lack the flexibility to choose the places or devices that allow them to be most productive. Publishing App in a single centralize data center, users globally can access from any device instantly.

Increase in Efficiency

Save on PC refresh cycles by allowing IT to deliver up-to-date apps and operating systems on aging endpoints with a great user experience. There is a reduction the risk of costly security breaches by keeping apps and data secure within the datacenter. Thus, making a single management of the IT.

Healthcare

Ability to switch virtualization platforms from a server to desktop to a mobile device is now possible through Citrix Technology- Citrix Virtual Apps and Citrix Endpoint Management. With operating several healthcare employees providing quick and effective access to information ensuring it’s security is a challenging thing. Working within the hospitals and clinics is not confined within, thus, Citrix Virtual apps and Citrix Endpoint Management software has allowed the hospital to roll out a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) initiative so clinicians can extend high-quality care off campus and into patients’ homes, and during off hours. Healthcare industries can provide Windows apps, native apps, data, workflow solutions, and productivity tools to any device with a security and compliance stance that far exceeds what it could deliver previously.

Centralized Management with heightened security

With the Citrix solutions, Healthcare industries may keep patient data safe and ensures sensitive information remains private. The new infrastructure protects against data leakage and controls the influx of new mobile devices, even when clinicians bring their own devices. In addition, delivery of applications and mobile management, healthcare industries may be using the similar platform across the board, which means that the experience is identical wherever, whichever device is used.

Education

The main challenge on education was providing professors and students with remote access to their curriculums, data and applications to enable on-demand, flexible learning. By virtualizing its university laboratories’ desktops and applications using Citrix Virtual Apps issues about ageing IT infrastructure, high hardware costs and lack of centralized management for data and applications may be resolved by Citrix Virtual Apps. Application Virtualization promotes independent and exploratory learning to students. In addition, both students and teachers can access applications related to course subject matter, such as research links and videos, and connect from any device, anywhere and at any time. The Citrix Gateway platform optimizes, secures and controls delivery of web, mobile and cloud applications.

HDX Technology Integration

Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktop is used as the virtualization platform because of its superior support for advanced 3-D graphics applications and tight integration with Citrix NetScaler application delivery controllers. Citrix uses HDX 3D Pro technology which accelerates GPU and HD workloads are utilize for a wide range of use cases as many apps are increasingly using more graphical capabilities. HDX 3D Pro is a set of graphics acceleration technologies designed to optimize the virtualization of rich graphics apps.

Utilities

Internet and cellular-related challenges have been common in remote areas across the Philippines. Nowadays, 2G Digital Signal has been superseded by newer technologies such as 2.5G2.75G3G4G and LTE; however, 2G networks are still used in most parts of the country. The result is that Internet and cellular traffic is very slow, intermittent and vulnerable. These conditions caused issues at various utilities industries resulting to adapt a decentralized IT infrastructure. Thus, accessing the business apps from a single data center from a remote area with low digital signal can be challenging. However, Citrix Virtual Apps able to access a published application even in 2G Digital signal, making Citrix solution fit for this kind of environment.

Comprehensive and Secure Remote Access

Citrix Gateway and Citrix Virtual Apps consolidates remote access infrastructure to provide single sign-on across all applications whether in a datacenter, in a cloud, or delivered as SaaS. It allows people to access any app, from any device, through a single URL even in the slow digital signal.

Construction

Bringing virtualization to the Construction Industries recognizes the need to refresh its technology infrastructure significantly – specifically, in virtualizing business applications and consolidating it into one datacenter. Citrix application delivery technology provides unmatched flexibility that allow working on a any device, any location, any time. The Citrix solution provides a more mobile work style. Remote access solution is extremely beneficial because it’s so much easier to collaborate as if users are working identically in their offices. Citrix Virtual Apps enable to access all their published application in real time reducing cost in IT infrastructure since it only requires a single data center to manage.

Cost Savings

Over the longer term, construction firms may be able to save support due to reduction in distributed IT services across dozens of locations. Moving IT support and management to the backend centralized servers rather than assisting directly on users’ devices has been a definite savings for the company since it doesn’t require more IT support to work on several ends thus work only on the back-end data center.

Security

Security at the widely spread, often isolated locations was a particular concern.  Sensitive and competitive information that could be compromised in decentralized IT infrastructure, but with Citrix Virtual Apps and Citrix Gateway information centrally stored and protected, data is completely secure at all times in a single data center.
