u Program Neighborhood. Program Neighborhood introduces a new metaphor
for user application access that replaces Remote Application Manager for the
Citrix ICA Win32 Client and delivers access to centrally deployed
applications. With the introduction of Program Neighborhood, server-based
applications can now be pushed to the Program Neighborhood client,
integrated into the local 32-bit Windows desktop, or pushed directly to the
client’s Start menu.
Similar in concept to Windows Network Neighborhood, Program
Neighborhood provides total administrative control of applications by
providing users with dynamic access to published applications. Not only do
users have an enhanced server-based application experience, but also no client
configuration is required. Program Neighborhood provides complete
administrative control over application access and local desktop integration.
u SpeedScreen. SpeedScreen builds on the intelligent agent technology,
introduced in MetaFrame 1.0, that reduces the transmission of frequently
repainted screens. In comparison with MetaFrame 1.0, bandwidth consumption
is reduced, on average, by 25-30% and total packets transmitted is cut by up to
60%, resulting in significant improvements in measured speed on restricted
bandwidth connections.
SpeedScreen furthers the user experience with consistent performance
regardless of network connection by reducing latency and improving the feel
of the server-based application.
u Installation Management Services (IMS) Ready. The Installation
Management Services option gives Citrix administrators the ability to centrally
manage software replication across Citrix server farms. You can run an
application’s installation routine just once per platform, then deploy the
application to each server in the farm automatically.
This innovative system services option for MetaFrame offers administrators an
excellent alternative to manually installing and configuring the same
application on multiple Citrix servers. Administrators can now more easily and
cost-effectively deploy applications to thousands of users across the enterprise.
u Video Ready. VideoFrame in conjunction with MetaFrame 1.8 enables the
production and deployment of custom video applications to 32-bit Windows
ICA Clients using an innovative intelligent compression and a streaming
extension to the ICA protocol.
By integrating VideoFrame into a Citrix server farm, administrators can now
deploy custom video applications to any 32-bit Windows
desktop, on demand, while maintaining consistent performance across any
network connection, regardless of available bandwidth.
