Citrix XenApp is an application virtualization solution that reduces the cost of Windows® application management by up to 50%. Compared to archaic application deployment technology, virtualizing applications with Citrix XenApp enables organizations to improve application management by:
- Centralizing applications in the data center to reduce costs.
- Controlling and encrypting access to data and applications to improve security
- Delivering applications instantly to users anywhere.
Utilizing integrated application virtualization technology, XenApp isolates applications from the underlying operating system and from other applications to increase compatibility and manageability. Applications are streamed from a centralized location into an isolation environment on the target device where they will execute. The target device can be a user PC or a server in the data center.
Citrix XenApp is unique in that it is a complete application delivery system, offering both online and offline application access through a combination of application hosting and application streaming directly to user devices. When users request an application, XenApp determines if their device is compatible and capable of running the application in question. The minimum requirements of a target device are a compatible Windows operating system and appropriate Citrix client software. If the user device meets minimum requirements, then XenApp initiates local application delivery via application streaming directly into an isolated environment on the users device. In the event that the user device is not capable of running a particular application, XenApp initiates hosted application delivery
