  8. Citrix Solutions Evolve

  9. Wireless Applications The Need for Real-Time Access

  10. Wireless Applications vs. Periodic Synchronization Periodic Synchronization • Appropriate for certain tasks – e.g. email • Bandwidth Hungry, but not always on • Sensitive data stored locally • Helper Applications sometimes not available for PDA’s • Difficult to Distribute and Support Applications • Local Devices become obsolete with new Application versions Wireless Link • Access to data anywhere, anytime, from any device • Focus on business objectives - not IT issues • Support any application necessary • Provide high computing power centrally • Real-Time Access

  11. Trends and Challenges Market Trend: • Increasing percent of the workforce is mobile • Wireless LAN market growing from 2M to 11M units by 2005 • Wireless WAN market growing even faster IT Challenge: • Provide mobile users access to same application set as non-mobile users despite network latencies and form factor differences • Rapid Application Deployment & Improved Application Service Levels • Lower, More Predictable Computing Costs • Device, Network & Application Flexibility • ‘Connect & Compute’ User Experience from Anywhere

  12. Who Will Use Wireless and Why? Fortune 1000 • Field Employees/Road Warriors • Remote Offices • Warehouse/Manufacturing/Shipping • Package and Piece Management Pervasive mobile access to personal and enterprise data • Relational Database Management Services • Financial Applications • ERP Applications • Point of Sale Systems • Inventory Management

  13. Going Wireless with Citrix Portable Device and Network Support

  14. Wireless Mobility Citrix Value for Wireless Mobility: • Wireless application delivery that works TODAY • No application re-writes required; no special UI translators • Same solution can be used for wired and wireless connections • Solutions already tuned for wireless user experience(via Speedscreen3, Panning/Scaling, Full client coverage) • Customer Example: BT Cellnet http://press.citrix.com/news/profiles/cellnet.htm.
