Client less Receiver

In the event that your users can't install Receiver on their devices, Receiver for HT ML5 offers a clientless experience and renders apps and desktops in a browser.

OpenGL sof t ware accelerat ion

T he OpenGL Software Accelerator is a software rasterizer that provides an alternative to the Microsoft OpenGL rasterizer that is included with Windows. You can use OpenGL sof tware acceleration with applications where GPU hardware acceleration is not needed or cannot be cost-justified but where the Microsoft OpenGL software rasterizer is inadequate. OpenGL software acceleration provides faster rendering performance because it leverages SSE4.1 and AVX-- and it supports OpenGL 2.1, whereas the Microsoft OpenGL software rasterizer is limited to OpenGL 1.1.

3D prof essional graphics at low cost

HDX 3D with GPU sharing provides a cost-effective solution f or power-user 3D viewers and editors:

Provision many users to share a GPU to cost effectively support users that view and edit 3D data and can adequately be supported by sharing GPU resources (up to 12 GPUs per host) Exceptional better than local user performance on a LAN Very interactive user experience over low bandwidth networks with ~1.5 Mbps Any device access including tablets and Macs with supported versions of Citrix Receiver

Accelerat ing applicat ion P 2V migrat ion wit h AppDNA

Citrix AppDNA accelerates the migration and transformation of desktop and web applications for new environments and helps manage application change on a day-to-day basis. AppDNA provides automated analysis of applications for different Windows platforms and suitability for application virtualization through App-V, XenApp, or XenDesktop. Using AppDNA, you can model complex mixes of new technologies to determine the best plan of action and then automate the t ransf ormat ions.

XenApp 6.5 Connect or (SP1) f or Microsof t Syst em Cent er 2012 Configurat ion Manager

T he XenApp Connector for System Center 2012 Configuration Manager enables administrators to orchestrate the tasks required to deliver applications both to end-users and XenApp Servers seamlessly with Microsof t System Center 2012 (and SP1).

You can also find additional inf ormation in this inf ormative blog: XenApp Connector f or System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Enterprise Setup Considerations.

Mobile SDK f or Windows Apps

Use the Mobile SDK for Windows Apps to create mobile-friendly applications hosted on XenApp with mobility features enabled. With the Mobile SDK and XenApp 6.5 HRP02, your mobilized, touch-enabled applications leverage your existing Citrix infrastructure while keeping sensitive corporate data secure in the data center and not cached on an easily lost, misplaced, or stolen mobile device.

Version 2 of the Mobile SDK for Windows Apps offers:

Support for audio and video capture Improved camera API A lightweight emulator to enable you to test apps on your development machines

A Visual Studio template that helps you create a basic Windows app with boilerplate code that instantiates the necessary mobile SDK assemblies

XenApp 6.5 HRP02 provides the server-side support for these new features. Once installed on your XenApp servers, they automatically re-skin Windows applications for more intuitive, touch-friendly use on tablet devices. Tablet-optimized desktops work with the currently available Receiver for iOS, Receiver for Android, and Receiver for Windows 8/RT.

Cit rix? HDXTM RealT ime Opt imizat ion Pack f or Microsof t ? Lync? 2010

Also available in this feature pack is the Cit rix? HDXTM RealT ime Opt imizat ion Pack 1.4 for Microsoft? Lync? 2010. T his release of the Optimization Pack provides support for the Meet Now feature of Microsoft? Lync?.

Cit rix? HDXTM RealT ime Opt imizat ion Pack for Microsoft? Lync? offers highly scalable video conferencing and clear, crisp high-definition audio-video calls in conjunction with Microsoft Lync. Users can seamlessly participate in audio-video or audio-only calls to and from other HDX RealT ime users and other standards-based video desktop and conference room syst ems.

Seamless local apps int egrat ion

Seamless local app integration enables you to include access to locally installed applications as well as XenApp hosted applications within a hosted desktop environment. Your users can access in one place local applications that would otherwise be costly or time-consuming to host or applications that must be accessed in a highly secure manner.

When one of your users logs onto a hosted desktop, it displays shortcuts to locally installed applications and XenApp hosted applications. When one of your users launches a locally-installed application, it runs on your user's workstation but appears to your user to run on the hosted desktop. Likewise, when one of your users launches a XenApp hosted application, it runs f rom a XenApp environment but appears to your user on the hosted desktop.

With Local App Access, you can bring users onboard more quickly and they can continue using the applications on which their productivity depends alongside their own hosted applications.

OpenGL Software Accelerator

May 06, 2015

T he OpenGL Accelerator is a software rasterizer for OpenGL applications such as ArcGIS, Google Earth, Nehe, Maya, Blender, and Voxler. In some cases, the OpenGL Accelerator can eliminate the need to use graphics cards to deliver a good user experience with OpenGL applications. Supported platforms:

Windows 8, 64-bit and 32-bit editions Windows 7, 64-bit and 32-bit editions Windows Server 2012 Windows Server 2008 R2

When should you t ry t he OpenGL Accelerat or?

If the performance of OpenGL applications running in virtual machines on XenServer or other hypervisors is an issue, try using OpenGL Accelerator. For some applications, the OpenGL Accelerator outperforms the Microsoft OpenGL software rasterizer that is included with Windows because the OpenGL Accelerator leverages SSE4.1 and AVX. OpenGL Accelerator also supports applications using OpenGL versions up to 2.1. For applications running on a workstation, first try the default version of OpenGL support provided by the workstation's graphics adapter. If the graphics card is the latest version, in most cases it will deliver the best performance. If the graphics card is an old version or does not delivery satisfactory performance, then try the OpenGL Accelerator. 3D OpenGL applications that are not adequately delivered using CPU-based software rasterization may benefit from OpenGL GPU hardware acceleration. T his feature can be used on bare metal or virtual machines. For more inf ormation, see About OpenGL GPU Sharing.
