Citrix XenApp

Citrix XenApp is an advanced application virtualization product that enables users to access their corporate applications from a wide range of devices like personal computer or mobiles. XenApp can host applications on central servers with ease and allow users to interact with them remotely.

XenApp along with the Remote Desktop Services enables the IT to manage Windows programs and other resources centrally. Citrix XenApp is extremely helpful in data centers that need central management systems. If you subscribe to XenApp hosting, you will have a central remote desktop service from where you can manage the associated Citrix XenApp applications.

It streams and delivers them to user devices for local execution. This application began life as an application hosting solution. XenApp is also known as Citrix WinFrame Server, Citrix MetaFrame Server and Citrix Presentation Server.

XenApp Hosting is robust enough to allow remote desktop connections from anywhere, even if you are on a non-Windows client.

How does Citrix XenApp help?

Citrix XenApp lets you install applications on a server and then access these applications without requiring to install anything on the client device except the Citrix XenApp software. The server does all the processing. To the users, it appears as if the application is running locally on their operating systems.
 
The latest versions of the Citrix XenApp software offer the feature of application streaming or application virtualisation. In this case, you get the option of streaming an application on a client device without the need of installing anything except the Citrix plug-in. Once you have installed the Citrix software, you can deploy an application on any machine without requiring to touch these machines. All the processing is done on the XenApp servers, so you can deploy applications that may not otherwise run on old machines.
