Boost PC performance: How more available memory can improve productivity
Citrix/Intel Brochure salon Hit
1. Citrix and Intel are collaborating to create application delivery solutions that provide the best
experience for both IT managers and end users – true “no compromise” solutions.
Streaming technologies from Citrix and Intel support a powerful, flexible, fully mobile compute
experience, enabling higher levels of productivity for knowledge workers, while addressing the key
challenges facing IT – manageability , security, and cost containment.
Citrix Presentation Server and Citrix Provisioning Server offer centralized image management and
application delivery which execute locally on high-performance Intel Core 2 processor desktops and
Intel Centrino laptops with Intel vPro technology, satisfying both IT and end users.
Citrix Provisioning Server software and Intel vPro technology hardware bring a broad array of
complementary capabilities that centralize management, strengthen security and reduce TCO.
Intel vpro and cpro platforms provide you with the best solutions to:
-Total system image management with Citrix streaming products to deliver centrally administred OS edaka 24/4/08 10:34
and application images to keep software well-managed. The same IT manager uses Intel vPro Commentaire: vPro
technology to keep hardware and software information up-to-date in the configuration database, even edaka 24/4/08 10:34
if systems are off or down. Commentaire: cPro
Example: full capability to remote install DLL or certificates (for example for CPS smartcard reading),

remote upgrade of the ICA client
-Reduced deskside visits – If a user calls the help desk with problem, IT can use Intel vPro Commentaire: administered
technology to remotely diagnose and likely fix the problem, even if the application or OS is hung. If
the system needs to be re-imaged, Citrix streaming software can quickly re-provision the system’s
software load with a simple re-boot.
-Layered security – Viruses and spyware are always attempting to infect systems and steal data.
Application virtualization with Citrix solutions can reduce the threat of attack by isolating streamed
software in a virtual container. But if an attack slips through, or attacks unvirtualized software,
hardware-based protections in Intel vPro technology can isolate the infected system from the network
and prevent the virus from spreading.
Example: gain boot time with 802.1x support NAC and NAP
-Centrally-managed, high-performance applications – IT desires centralized application management,
but server-based computing provides a poor experience for high-performance applications, 3D or
motion graphics. Citrix streaming solutions allow IT to centrally license, monitor and update the
application, but allow it to execute locally on the PC. PCs with Intel vPro technology contain the Intel
Core 2 processor and high-performance Intel graphics that deliver a great user experience.
Example: have best user experience for 3D, PACS, local database, speech recognition
-same console management (Microsoft, Landesk, Altiris) to remote manage all your PCs
-Accelerate Vista and Office Migrations – A single Vista disc image file can be instantaneously
delivered from a central file server to hundreds of desktops—enabling rapid-fire migration to Vista
and/or Office 2007. Plus, Provisioning Server can just as quickly roll back the Vista infrastructure,
virtually eliminating risk with a simple desktop reboot.
2. Mobility technologies developed by Intel increase the end user experience.
In 2007 Intel introduced the Mobile Clinical Assistant, aimed to be used by doctors and nurses, with
many optimized features (barcode and RFID reader, embedded camera, cleanable device, docking
station with swappable battery).
Intel developed a SDK to help ISV to use devices thru the Citrix Virtual Channels.
Citrix technologies allow full session roaming and optimize the user connectivity in your wifi
infrastructure on this kind of device.
Mobile Clinical Assistant devices with Intel Health logo can run a SW on Citrix XenApp (Presentation
Server 4.5).
MCA are already tested and used in French hospitals with Citrix PS4.5 and McKesson Crossway,
Pharma by CEngineering, Siemens Clinicom.
CPS cards can be read thru Btooth reader or USB reader connected on docking station.
