1.1 WOFD-093100 PRS-Citrix-based PRS ClientIntegration Solution

Availability

This feature is available in the iManager PRS V100R003 and later versions.Summary

The PRS supports the Citrix-based PRS client integration solution. Thus,

users can integrate the PRS client into the existing Citrix environment. Thisfacilitates the application deployment solution in the enterprise environment.

BenefitsThe advantages of the Citrix solution are quick deployment, single-pointmaintenance, low bandwidth requirement, high security, and inter-platform

remote access. Thus, operators need only focus on the investments in theCitrix server so that they can predict the overall investments more accurately.

Description

Users need to install, upgrade, and maintain the PRS client on the Citrixserver only. This significantly improves the efficiency in maintenanceand deployment of the PRS applications.

The Citrix requires a bandwidth of 64 kbit/s for each client; thus, it isapplicable to bandwidth-sensitive scenarios. This helps to protectcustomer investments.

The PRS client is installed on a Citrix server that is co-deployed with anM2000 server. Both the Citrix server and the M2000 server are protected

by a firewall. This minimizes the exposure to unauthorized access, virusinfection, and malicious attack. In addition, the Citrix provides an

enhanced secure networking solution, which is optional. This solutionprotects the access to the Citrix server through the Security Socket Layer

(SSL) connection. In this solution, the account name, password, server IPaddress, and port number are encrypted. Security enhancement can be

applied to the Citrix server and operating system (Windows Server 2003)of the domain controller in the Citrix Farm solution to improve the

security of the operation system. The Citrix has low requirement for clients and supports multiple client

types and network types.

The Citrix can convert the GUI of the M2000 client to web pages andsend the web pages to the Citrix client. Thus, users need to install onlythe Citrix client to remotely use the M2000 functions through the

Internet Explorer or Netscape browser. This provides centralizeddeployment and maintenance of clients to reduce the maintenance cost.

Enhancement

Not involved.

Dependency

This feature requires the deployment of Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 or

Citrix Presentation Server 5.0 and a dedicated PC server for installation of the

Citrix software. The Citrix server supports the operating systems of WindowsServer 2003 and Windows Server 2008. In the case of Farm networking, a

dedicated PC server must be used as the domain controller.
