Citrix Virtual Apps

Formerly XenApp

I have used Citrix Virtual Apps (formerly Xenapp) in my organization to work remotely as a virtual office. It comes out to be an effective tool for a virtual office. You don't even require a hardware computer at your office seat desk to work remotely from home, You can directly use Citrix Virtual App to work using various different organizational tools, softwares, programs, etc,

Citrix Virtual Apps is currently used globally, In the United States, England, France, Germany, Japan, India, Australia, and China. Citrix Virtual Apps provides secure remote access for contractors and consultants who need to work in remote environments. It has alleviated the need for access globally and provides access for users outside of the local regions. We have been able to provide secure access to desktops, and applications regardless of the proximity of their location. We have been using the product for the past ten years and with the Covid-19 pandemic, also provided a means for additional users to work securely from home. Today we have Citrix environments in the cloud as well as on-premise datacenters. We have migrated away from using VPN because Citrix Virtual Apps is more scalable and configurable.

XenApp is used to farm out our HIS and EMR systems to all clinical personnel both on site and remotely. Being able to limit the number of installations of our software on a minimum number of XenApp servers allows us the ability to quickly update the software and maintain a consistent user environment for all users.

Citrix XenApp is utilized at our Datacenter to provide our third-party offshore contacts a single pane of glass in which to interact with company resources. XenApp also prevents any customer data or proprietary code from being downloaded from company resources to third-party contacts via the Citrix Receiver App or website.

XenApp is being used at the Cranston location. We use XenApp to connect to our ERP system SAP.

XenApp is being used for users who need to access business applications that are not available off-property or off-network. This allows them to work from home or other locations as if they were in the office. This application is used throughout our business both nationally and internationally and is easily accessible.

In our organization, we use XenApp 6.5 and XenApp 7.5 to give access to our internal users and vendors to use applications. It [provides] secure access.

We are saving [by] not implementing a firewall ACL and giving Citrix XenApp access (integrated with several domains).

We use XenApp to publish all our global applications for remote access from anywhere and any device with an internet connection. It centralizes our data in US and Europe while allowing access from over 40 countries easily and securely with minimal technical support for users. It ensures our users have the latest applications they need and collaboration data is centralized securely while accessing the workflow over the internet. Because of the HDX (formerly ICA) protocol, the required bandwidth is low which is essential for our remote users in satellite locations. When there is a published application update, there is minimal downtime and we can be sure all our users have the latest and same version of published applications on XenApp because the update is done in the data center where XenApp servers are located as opposed to user desktops and laptops.

XenApp is used by our entire company and is a pivotal part of our IT Infrastructure. We have offices and construction trailers location through out the country and using XenApp allows us to publish the same applications and access to all of them regardless of their location. In addition it gives our home office users easy access to resources from outside the home. A second big factor in using XenApp is the need to only upgrade applications once. If we tried to run these applications locally an upgrade would be a big endeavor but with XenApp it is only needed on the actual XenApp servers and everyone has the latest and greatest. The final business problem it addresses is remote access speed. Companies that use a VPN have to deal with issues of opening large files and having them transfer over Wan links. XenApp deals with that by opening everything locally, in the same location as the files themselves, allow remote users the same speed of access as if they were sitting locally to the files.

For our configuration, XenApp is available for the entire organization using security group permissions. I allow access by user for our current structure however have implemented and managed XenApp via GPO which works quite well.

Right now XenApp is being used by our department, but it will soon be rolled out to other departments within the organization. It addresses the problems of working remotely and securely.

As a senior consultant, engineer, and solutions architect who specializes in virtualization and cloud technologies, I can confidently say, Citrix XenApp is THE number 1 solution on the market for application delivery. Nothing else even comes close. XenApp is currently being used by enterprises across the globe, big and small, for application delivery. The days are gone where an admin had to have access to a physical laptop and desktop to grant users access to applications necessary for the workforce to perform their jobs. With XenApp the workforce simply calls the help desk and is granted access to a new application within minutes.

XenApp is used in organization wide to deliver a consistent application experience across multiple platforms. We use XenApp to publish full blown desktop applications to mobile devices and for delivery to physical and virtual desktops (XenDesktop).

We use XenApp to publish internal applications to end users without having to install 10-24 different applications on each computer. By doing this we have a central location with all of our applications. We can easily maintain and update the applications from one location (our data center). It is used for everyone in our company. It also is great that we can access our applications at home securely.

XenApp is deployed in a data center supporting Department of Defense clients. It supports multiple clients with a broad use base. The environment consists of developmental (sandbox), production, and test. Some clients are leveraging XenApp exclusively for published desktops and others are hosting workhorse development applications for SQL development. The goal is to allow effective consolidation of resources for multiple customers by leveraging shared resources.

We use XenApp across the whole organization to provide users across the world with access to their important applications, anywhere and anytime. We utilize XenApp, Web Interface, Provisioning, and STA/XML Broker servers to accomplish this. Applications are streamed from the server, and users access these applications through an accessible published web interface site.

XenApp is used across our entire organization. Almost every department has users who access at least one application via Citrix XenApp. XenApp allows us to quickly give users access to applications without having to install it on the user's PC. It also allows the users to access their applications from anywhere and from any device.
