Citrix' wants to make all data and applications available to users on any device, without threatening IT security. The PC era, which replaced the mainframe era, is now being replaced by the cloud era, and each user will have a ‘personal cloud’!
A personal cloud is something that is much bigger than just a Windows desktop. It's the way people want to work, from any location, at any time, on any device, with everything they need to be successful.
Two new Citrix Netscaler technologies:
• Cloud Gateway, to be available in physical and virtual appliances, sits at the "front door" of the data center, connecting Web applications and Windows apps to any device in a secure manner, while providing single sign-on to users. The Gateway will also monitor a customer's licenses and service-level agreements.
• Cloud Bridge, a companion piece, sits at the "back door" of the network to provide a secure connection between the data center and cloud services. WAN optimization improves data flow and reduces use of bandwidth, and lets you split up the components of an application between data center and cloud. E.g. a customer could run most of an application in a cloud service but keep Active Directory and sensitive data in-house for security reasons.
