Citrix Receiver app for Blackberry Playbook

kurnia | September 14, 2011 | 0 Comments

Citrix Receiver app for Blackberry Playbook beta version is available. The Citrix receiver is a vizualization software that allows users to access virtual desktops ( like Citrix XenDesktop) on servers running Microsoft Windows which will enable users to allow standalone app virtualization. With Citrix Receiver you can easily access your application and Windows Desktop at your office or home, you can keep your information on your provider secure servers, not on your device.
Features:

Multitasking – The Citrix Receiver for the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet provides the functionality to multitask between virtualized applications and desktops, as well as between multiple desktops themselves – all from within the app. From a user perspective, this is similar to the multi-tab browsing experience on the BlackBerry PlayBook browser. Users will be able to work like they do on a desktop or laptop with multiple applications running simultaneously, but do so remotely from the BlackBerry tablet.
Single “Sign On” Access – When accessing Windows, web and SaaS apps, users won’t need to login multiple times to gain access. Instead, there’s a single “sign on” access point during the launch of the app that provides full access to virtual apps and desktops.
IT-Controlled Built In Enterprise App Hosting – When implemented, the IT department can host an app server (such as Citrix® XenApp) and allow end users to select apps to use via the Citrix Receiver from this server; much like they would select apps from the BlackBerry App World. This self-service access to enterprise apps gives users even more flexibility when working with the Citrix Receiver.
Security – The unique FIPS-certified BlackBerry PlayBook tablet security protocols are entirely operational when using the Citrix Receiver to ensure data is protected.
Peripheral Integration in High Definition – Does your staff often use a “hoteling” station or home office? If so, it’s simple to pair a PlayBook with a Bluetooth® keyboard and mouse and connect an HD monitor via HDMI cable, and they’ll have full access to your remote desktop and apps. When it’s time to leave, the peripherals stay behind while the PlayBook slips into a coat pocket or purse. This gives your mobile workforce improved portability, boot-up time, and battery life compared with a laptop-based solution – with minimal compromise on functionality
