Self service |
|
Secure by design |
| Users subscribe to applications, for direct integration within a desktop. System intelligence coupled with configurable access controls determine an optimal and secure method for delivering applications based on device capabilities, user permissions, network performance, connection location, and security profile. |
|
Data remains in the datacenter while only screen updates, mouse clicks, and keystrokes transit the network. Centralized password control, multi-factor authentication, encrypted delivery, and a hardened SSL VPN eliminate the chance for data loss or theft. |

|
Improved user experience |
|
Enterprise class scalability |
| XenApp-managed applications deliver a high-performance, high-definition user experience on any network—even for graphic-rich and multimedia content. |
|
XenApp supports more than 500 users per server, scales beyond 1,000 servers in a single management scope and ensures 99.999 percent application availability.

|
Single instance management |
|
|
| Application and server images are stored, maintained and updated once in the datacenter and delivered on-demand. This server and application virtualization system simplifies management, avoids application conflicts and provides real-time updates. |
