Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 Platinum Edition

The Platinum Edition is a collection of products that work in harmony to deliver a single, consistent and secure-by-design point of access for corporate resources. The following components have been bundled to form the Platinum Edition:

»	Application Virtualization with Citrix Presentation Server extends the capabilities of Microsoft Terminal Services to provide centralized administration, robust printing, efficient use of bandwidth, dynamic load balancing, expanded client support and enterprise scalability. Citrix Presentation server provides secure access to centralized applications from any device. There are three editions available to suit the needs of any environment: standard, advanced and enterprise. These editions provide management features based on the size of the organization or deployment.

»	Application Streaming to desktops for flexible delivery options. Use application streaming to centralize management of desktop applications, and isolate and stream them to users without worrying about application and system conflicts. By adding streaming to the existing application virtualization capabilities, Presentation Server dynamically selects the best application delivery method for the user, the application, the device or the network. You have the flexibility to stream applications to mobile users who work offline, or, for maximum control and security, virtualize applications that access confidential data.

»	Application Performance Monitoring powered by Citrix EdgeSight, the monitoring capabilities in Presentation Server enable IT to quickly pinpoint and troubleshoot server, network and application programming issues that impact the user experience.

»	Citrix Access Gateway is the Citrix SSL VPN appliance that provides a secure single-point access for enterprise resources. The Access Gateway delivers “always on” secure access to network resources and is fully integrated with the Web Interface and Presentation Server. When enhanced with the Advanced Access Control Option (included with the Enterprise edition) the Access Gateway can provide a granular security policy to network resources based on a users access scenario. This access scenario can be determined based on user endpoint analysis results, presentation server policies and user permissions. The access scenario will control access to web applications, Presentation Server enabled applications, network file services and other defined network protocols.

»	Citrix Password Manager provides an enterprise single sign-on solution for both Platinum Edition clients and PC environments. Password Manager increases network security, reduces help desk calls for password resets and simplifies user access by authenticating all enterprise applications with a single user password
