 < Free Open Study > 



Overview

MetaFrame XP is the next generation in Citrix's long line of excellent thin client application server solutions. Citrix has done an outstanding job of listening to their customers and channel partners to bring into its new product the features needed to really maximize the potential of thin client technology. MetaFrame's scalability has dramatically improved, as well as its license management capabilities. With new features such as per session time zone support, SpeedScreen 3, and the Citrix Management Console, MetaFrame should become even more popular and successful.

MetaFrame XP is the next platform release for Citrix and is optimized for use with advanced Windows platforms, and tuned specifically for Internet use. This new architecture should allow Citrix to deploy any application, to any device, over any connection, with a highly competitive power and flexibility. With the new XP family of solutions, Citrix has integrated advanced management features into its higher end product suites to maximize a customer's return on investment (ROI). These features capitalize on Citrix's proven track record in load balancing, network monitoring, and application deployment.

On The Job 

Citrix's use of the XP moniker is in no way related to Microsoft's use of the same for its next version of Windows. Citrix and Microsoft followed different development paths to arrive at the same name, and did consult with each other as to the impact of the similarity, deeming it an acceptable solution for both. MetaFrame XP is compatible with Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server Edition, Windows 2000, and the upcoming Windows XP.
